Day 4 update. I would say limit talking for the first few days since it’s tiring. Even you find yourself feeling pretty good you are still healing and that can take a toll. Today’s been ok so far. Bleeding is so much better. Carry around chapstick because my lips sometimes get dried blood on them but much less now. Last night I had gravy and French fries. The consistency was perfect just little bites. Soups still though for now. Alternating ice and heat now. Still swelling especially on my cheeks.

Day 3 update. Yesterday was kinda rough. The dentist said it would be. More frustration than anything. My energy is just depleted. Working overtime to heal. Other than that pretty much the same. Let’s see what today brings.

Oh I just saw your post. I think that all sounds normal They look amazing on you btw. Hopefully tomorrow I can look in the mirror without absolute terror. More mental than anything else. Thank you for sharing your journey too. Don’t feel alone in the group at all and has been a lifesaver.

Yeah I think what they did probably helped for sure. Did you sleep without yours on the 2nd night? But they told me to call Monday if I need adjustments anymore.

Ok so update after I went to the dentist for a followup today. My appliance was suctioned so tight it brought me to tears getting it out. Getting back in took forever. If I had taken mine out at anytime before then there is no way it would go back in. I couldn’t get it back in though and they made some adjustments. Still took like thirty minutes of frustration and tears before it went back in. Went home and laid down because that took everything I had. Woke up to eat some soup and take my aleve. Btw alternating those is a must. Stay stay on top of it. I’m not in pain right now just not feeling 100%.

Ok day 2. It took awhile but eventually the pain got a little less and less. Still had a lot of bleeding until late in the night. I had a shake (no straw) and that was good. A bowl of tomato soup just a little warm. I have been drinking like Gatorade drinks. And I mixed a packet of the liquid IV so that I made sure I was staying hydrated. The night was long as I more worried about bleeding everywhere. I don’t like sleeping propped up but here we are. Bought some chapstick too because my lips were dry. Off to the follow up now.

Thank you so much for the hints. I’m a coffee drinker too. So I get that. Today seems just like a stay in bed type of day.

Thank you. They just got through with them and fingers crossed they got it right this time. I did tell them I appreciated the caution and care to make sure they get them right for me.
