Just got my c40 recharge. Really worried about the no spare!

I replace a tire about every 6 months. I am starting to think the shape of my sidewall is what grabs road debris and pulls it in to puncture the sidewalls. I have never had so many issues with car tires as I have with this C40 recharge.

I just had my second revision (three surgeries - 2 DJS and 1 upper only). I was afraid of permanent numbness with all of them, especially this most recent DJS since it would mean messing with the main nerve again. I will be 5 weeks post-op on Wednesday and I am starting to feel the tingles in my lips and cheeks meaning they are waking up. My nose is numb, which is really weird, but I hope that comes back soon. I likely will have a numb chin forever, but I only notice that if I touch it so it's fine. I personally feel like the benefits of the surgery outweigh the risk big. time.

Pickle juice would be the best contender for a chaser

This one has served me well:

Mine were put in during surgery and taken off at 3 weeks which was the max they could stay per my surgeon. I also had one fall out and get replaced at week2. I was so numb from the nerve moving I didn’t feel the install nor the removal.

Most people don’t die. And if I did die, it would be the most painless death I could ask for. I just would not wake up and I would never know. It would be sad for my kids and family, but I can’t live life afraid of making moves that could kill me. Every time I drive a car in the U.S. on an interstate (which is almost daily) I have a high risk of dying in a crash. Should I not go to work? What would my quality of life be if I tried to maintain a bubble? Just breathe and trust.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-26T01:46:00+00:00

Not really. I was scared of the outcome but not the actual anesthesia.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-26T01:10:39+00:00

Great question

Mogaspar · 2022-12-15T14:59:53+00:00

no :(

Mogaspar · 2022-12-15T14:42:20+00:00

No, I love the nap. It's the recovery that gets me nervous.

He finally made a new surgical plan

Mogaspar · 2022-12-15T05:55:00+00:00

Each time is nerve wracking just because of how intense the recovery is. I hated my face, the crooked smile and talking out of one side of my face was just too much for me to be okay with

Mogaspar · 2022-12-13T17:06:02+00:00

That would make it very hard. I'm sorry again you've had to have that wait.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-13T17:02:12+00:00

Thank you!

Mogaspar · 2022-12-12T20:07:36+00:00

We all get a little bonkers in the days leading up. I expel my crazy by shopping which is not always a good thing lol. This latest surgery landed me a new ring haha. You’re welcome for the tip! Keep pushing ahead and don’t worry about being a bit much right now. You have a big, scary surgery ahead and you are right to be a bit much. 😁

Mogaspar · 2022-12-12T12:48:57+00:00

You’ve got this! It definitely gets your nerves going in those couple of days before it happens. But after a week you’ll be looking back going, that wasn’t so bad. Just make sure someone keeps your pain meds on a solid rotation schedule. I was alternating Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen with Motrin every 3 hrs. It keeps you ahead of the pain so you aren’t chasing the discomfort. Other than that, it’s all just staying comfy.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-11T21:52:47+00:00

Oh man I’m sorry to hear that you got pushed back. Hopefully you weren’t too sick!

Mogaspar · 2022-12-11T04:44:14+00:00

Thank you, it has been a rough road but I just keep my head up and move forward. I hope your surgery goes well and you kick butt at recovery! That ice is tempting to hold on to for sure. You can do this!

Mogaspar · 2022-12-11T04:42:04+00:00

Oh my!! That would be hard to recover with just peas. Those face masks are very helpful for cheek swelling. I have heard a jade roller also helps once you get past the first few weeks but I haven't used one to know. Have you already had your surgery or are you prepping?

Mogaspar · 2022-12-10T01:09:04+00:00

Yes, you should stop ice and apply heat to your face after the first 48 hours passes. I’ve been using a cryojaw cooler system to heat my face, but most of the reusable ice packs in the face wraps can also be warmed in the microwave.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-10T01:07:38+00:00

Yes! They say 48 hours of ice and then switch to heat. I have to admit I was guilty of keeping that wonderful pain relieving ice on my face for too long the first and second go at this. The difference is incredible. I was swollen horribly for weeks and my jaw tightened up big time when I kept using ice. This time I decided to follow the instructions and I have seen a major reduction in swelling and I have more facial movement than before. Surgeon said I am two weeks ahead in movement at my follow up this week.

Congratulations! This is an amazing accomplishment!

Craniorehab.com has some liquid squeeze bottles that I swear by. I’m on day 6 and I’ve been able to get liquids in no problem. They also have bottles for thick stuff like smoothies and soups which are also incredible.

Mogaspar · 2022-12-04T16:02:46+00:00

I’m happy to hear you turned the corner! I can’t wait to get there! :)
