A little late but...

I think about two weeks ago, i was in pipers office for a post-op visit. i met a girl, named Julia, and she was getting surgery the week after! (which happened to be this past wednesday)!!! that was the same day of the week i had mine done! so we are currently in touch, and talking about progress and how we're feeling. supporting and sharing. she pulls off that post surgery looks pretty well, wouldn't you say? ;)

She's going in for her 5-day post-op visit, where they unwire your splint, take off the first three bands, give you your exercises, and LET YOU FINALLY GET OFF OF A LIQUID DIET! so we are talk about food and what i've been eating and how i've been finding ways to eat (swallow) foods like fish and chips, and also all of my favorite "swallow-me-whole" easy dishes, like mac and cheese, and cup-of-noodles, and egg salad!!! as far as i've been hewing, she's doing great! we all have our rough days and i know she has had her, but girlfriend, there are better days to come. especially now that you don't have to drink your food!!! 

JULIA!

Good luck to you!!! i wish you the best with your recovery, and hope to keep in touch. i know it helps me talking to other patients going through the same thing at the same (or almost same) time! you look fabulous! hope you feel fabulous! don't let people get you down. TMJ splints have been proven to make the hot girls hotter. Liana and i found out first hand ;) you'll see! Rock on!
