September 6th 2005,

I saw my ortho today I haven't seen her since a month post-op. She was shocked to see that i'm still very sore and swollen and having endless problems with my recovery. She also fixed my brace taht was broken during surgery and it sure did HURT!!!!! I can't open my mouth very wide at the moment despite doing jaw exercises and not to mention the ammount of talking I do!!!

She was able to see that I was in a lot of pain and discomfort and gave me some pain meds! She also said that my jaw is starting to relapse so I have to wear bands on my teeth to prevent any further movement. They're not the bext things to wear but if it reduces the chances of needing another op then I will wear them.

She also called my surgeon in as she wasn't happy with my progress and the infection. He was able to see that things have got worse since I last saw him a week ago and wants to keep a closer eye on things. He also said that after iv'e had my scans that i'm STILL waiting for he wants/needs to do another op. He said that he wants to go in and have a look etc I told him that he had done that last month. He said that he hadn't and the only op he's done is jaw surgery!!!! I thaught he was only joking and I said no you did it last month. Luckily my ortho steped in and said that she knows that he did a second surgery because she was there!! He suddenly remembered that he had done another surgery!!!! I was starting to get worried that it was someone else had done the surgery!!!
