Post-Surgery Appointment

Today I had therapy then an appointment with the dr to follow up on my recovery. Therapy was good, I'm liking it cuz she really gets everything opened up and makes me feel like I am making progress. My appointment went really well, ok better then I hoped. I had an x-ray to make sure all my teeth were ok from having the wisdom teeth removed. I'm guessing also to make sure my jaw was ok too. He did say that I wasn't opening as much as average recovery would be, but he's thinking it has to do with the removal of my wisdom teeth at the same time is causing it. The big news(well for me), is that he said in the next few days I could slowly start chewing. Of course I can't go run out for a pizza or steak, it's only softer foods, but I'll take it! I did try a chicken fry today and it went good, I'm still going to try and take it slow, only trying once or twice a day and still having soups for lunch or dinner. He also gave me pictures from the surgery, most of them you can't tell what it is, but it is pretty interesting, but there is two pictures(one of each side) of the tool in my joint and you can see my ear....Those I can't look at long they freak me out! So they are away in a folder for now.
