I am a week away from my 3rd month post surgery.  I can open my mouth to easily get 2 fingers in, not 3.

I have subsisted on mostly fish and mac and cheese.  Mix in some pasta here and there.  My lower lip and chin are still mostly numb but I do have slight spots with sensation. Teeth are still totally numb.

I sleep like a rockstar.  I am so glad to not be tethered to that stupid machine.

I make sure I eat lunch alone, in my office with the door closed…eating is still not a completely pretty site and “policing” my teeth with my tongue is still difficult.
