Sixth week of recovery
06/22/2015 23:02
This week was the first one when I was allowed to chew again. This experience was very strange to say the least and it took a while to get used to again. After two days it felt normal to chew and I have slowly been starting to eat more and more “tough” food. For the first few days I ate the same...

I am so sorry that I haven’t updated! I wrote this the day after the check-up and completely forgot to post it but as they say: better late than never!
So here we go again! This Tuesday was the date of my third check-up after the surgery. First I met my jaw surgeon and he took a quick look...
Fifth week of recovery!

It’s the final countdown! Dundundundundun… One week left of non-chewable food and rubber bands (hopefully!). This was another uneventful week. Everything has been running smoothly. I can brush my teeth like a normal human being. Well almost normal. I still can not open my mouth wide enough for me...
The fourth week of recovery

I can not believe that it has been four weeks since my operation! Time really flies. All in all it has been a good week. I feel good and are now so used to the rubber bands that I do not even think about them. Good news! The puss officially stopped on Tuesday evening and I am very pleased that I...

If you are following my progress then you might have figured out my schedule now. I will try to update every Monday with how the week have been and after every check-up appointment (the next of which is on the 16th of June for those of you who are interested).
This week started off well...
My second post-surgery check-up (+ an update on “the swelling status”)
05/26/2015 13:29
NEWS! I just got back from the doctor’s office and there I met both my jaw surgeon and my orthodontist. They were both very satisfied with how my teeth looked and not much was changed with two small exceptions. Since last week I have had rubber bands on two places in my mouth that basically holds...
The second week of recovery
05/25/2015 21:56
This week has been pretty uneventful when it comes to things related to my recovery. This Tuesday I had my first post-surgery check-up and you can read more about that in the post I wrote the day after. The first day with the rubber bands to hold my jaw in the correct place was… not very...
MY questions
05/20/2015 15:15
I have had a lot of questions about my operation, how I would feel after and so forth. These I therefore gathered together and asked my surgeon about to feel as secure and well informed as possible. I just got home from my first post operation checkup (I wrote more about that in the post before...
My first post operation checkup
05/20/2015 11:45
Yesterday I returned to the hospital for my first post operation checkup! My jaw surgeon was very happy with the result and after taking a quick look in my mouth, he proceeded to place four rubber bands on my braces. These brought my jaw into the correct position and are so tight that I am unable...
The operation day and the following week of recovery
05/17/2015 15:22
I have not been posting in a week now because of the fact that I did not feel all that great after the surgery. I think I am going to structure my story like a timetable almost and then write about my feelings and experience after that. My mom was absolutely amazing, as always XD, and wrote down...
