steph's jaw surgery blog: splint: take two
http://theteethofsteph.blogspot.com/2010/08/splint-take-two.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. The splint is improving. I played clarinet for a long while today (after taking the summer off hoping to help with jaw pain) and my jaw was quite sore and my head was throbbing - the instant I put the splint in at home my headache lessened. I'm still not overly enthused about it - I'm not sure it's doing all the good it was supposed to. It's also giant and looks quite humorous in - I look like a linebacker. I'll post a picture as soon as I remember. That would make me so sad!

steph's jaw surgery blog: Anniversary
http://theteethofsteph.blogspot.com/2010/07/anniversary.html
Thursday, July 1, 2010. Handy, because I kept the braces to make a Christmas ornament out of (bwahaha). Once the braces were all off they let me take a break and then started the sanding process. That took a long time, and the techs did most of it but then Dr. Rick did the final touches - they also added something to one of my teeth, because it had a chip in it - so it would look full. Now onto the fun part - my anniversary! Here's my long-winded update. Jaw opening: I have good and bad days. Good da...

steph's jaw surgery blog: splint: first impression
http://theteethofsteph.blogspot.com/2010/08/splint-first-impression.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. My lower jaw is pulled quite a bit forward to get it in the splint - so when I take it out my jaw is confused about where to sit. This morning my front teeth were bumping like mad, during lunch today I saw a legitimate large overbite, which scares the crap out of me. I have a headache, I'm exhausted from waking up every hour or so either suffocating, searching for it because I've managed to spit it out, or from my teeth and jaw hurting. Boo I had high hopes for this splint.

All the better to BITE you with, my dear! Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Just an Update (& a lame cartoon.). I travelled to the Royal Kingdom paying homage to My Liege yesterday. I'm still grinning! The word 'wonderful' got used a lot. Normally, he'd want to see me again at 6 and 8 weeks post op, but said these visits would be waste of time as I'm already at the 8 week stage now; that my recovery has been WAY beyond average!

All the better to BITE you with, my dear! Friday, June 12, 2009. The only thing that's REALLY gotten to me is the darned allergy thing, which is not only uncomfortable, but makes me rather nervous given I've developed adult allergies to shellfish and NSAIDS which started with hives and now anaphylaxis. Very unnerving. Anyhow it looks like the culprit is latex! It's so freeing to have those bands out during the day! The swelling is still slowly sinking. If you didn't know me you wouldn't be able to te...

All the better to BITE you with, my dear! Friday, June 5, 2009. It's been three whole weeks since 'Operation Jigsaw'! Snap, that's hard to believe. There are times a single moment seems an eternity, then you blink and. You've been dumped somewhere in the future and are picking yourself off the ground with a head shake, pondering how the heck you got there. Crazyland. She was unable/unwilling to see to my plight.

All the better to BITE you with, my dear! Thursday, April 23, 2009. So far this week I've had my family physician pow-wow, been officially stamped as wonderfully healthy by both doctor and dentist, had enough blood drawn to fill a moat (and didn't pass out! Which is pretty new for me, a chronic blood-related fainter), EKG stickers applied and ripped off like bandaids, peed in various receptacles, had teeth scraped, scaled and baking soda blasted. Coversation as heard in my house this morning:. Ow, ow, ow!
