Day 31

Not much new to report on the jaw front. I do seem to be regaining more and more sensation in my face. The only completely numb areas are my chin, right under my nose and the right side of my bottom lip. The tingling with some sharp shooting pains throughout my face are persisting so the little nerves are putting up a fight to come back. My swelling continues to go down but doesn't want to disappear completely and likes to fluctuate especially in my cheeks and under my chin. Talking is improving but I continue to sound like I have marbles in my mouth. Liquids are still the mainstay of my diet with an occasional attempt at some eggs.  Next Tuesday I head to the orthodontist. She won't be able to do too much but just wants to take a look to see what the next step will be once the splint comes out. That's about it. My next post will most likely be on the 5th after my ortho visit unless something really exciting happens before then.  I hope everyone has a fantastic Fourth of July!! Eat a cheeseburger for me :)
