TMJ Friends

This morning I was sitting at the computer having a conversation with my Mom, when I noticed that my opening seemed to be quite large. I measured it, and without any stretching what so ever, and hardly any eating yet that morning, my opening was 25 millimeters!!!!!!!!! 25mm without stretching or physical therapy beforehand!!!!!
Before the surgery, my opening was anywhere from 1 to 5mm… so this is an amazing improvement!
My scars are healing nicely, and I bought some vitamin E oil and pure organic aloe vera to apply to them soon.
My muscles are extremely sore, as is my jaw. Perhaps it’s because my jaw is getting more exercise than it’s gotten in years… and I am enjoying every bite of it (but no gum!).

Overall, I am feeling pretty good!!!! The surgical pain is gone, and I am hoping that what I am left with is just my body getting used to the new joints. We will see!
