Sixth week of recovery
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 kinds of food that I have been eating for five weeks and after that I started with more difficult things such as pasta and so forth.
I have also been using the new rubber bands that I this time received from my orthodontist. Two during the night and one on my right side during the day. The pain that I experienced from wearing the one on my right side when I talked have subsided a bit and it is not as big of a problem now. So I am happy of course!
After a few days of chewing I was able to open my mouth double the amount that I could before (about 4 cm). It is not as much as I used to be able to open my mouth but I figure that I will be back to normal, on that front, in a few weeks. This does mean that I am now able to open it far enough for me to brush my teeth like a normal human being so yay for that!
I also needed to update you on a very exciting fact! I am going to Paris in a few weeks and will not update on the 6th of July because of this fact. Actually I will probably not be updating regularly as I have been for the last six weeks since I am not sure that I will have anything new to report. I will however update when and if I have something new to write about “the situation”. Plus the fact that I will update after every visit to the orthodontist or jaw surgeon (the next of these visits will take place on July 31).
I don’t think I have more to write about now so I will finish this post by wishing you a very nice summer and I hope that you will return to my blog to read my next post on July 31!
