Almost 5 Weeks

Hard to believe that at this time five weeks ago, I was gnawing on a turkey leg and munching on peanut M&Ms. But that was the old me. Now it's strictly mush & mash.

Just a quick update on the recovery:

  1. Numbness receding on the roof of my mouth
  2. Sensation returning to a few of the lower back teeth
  3. Chin pain about the same
  4. Major tingles on lower lip and chin - a sign of nerve regeneration
  5. Sleep (the magic question): no major changes although I woke up today without a headache for the first time since the surgery
  6. Speech feels impaired as jaw mobility is limited
  7. Mush diet easiest to manage
  8. Back to work full time
