Still Numb After All These (11) Months



So I'm just coming up on 11 months post surgery and (except for the numbness on my bottom lip and chin) life is pretty much back to normal. Next month I get my scan to find out whether I'm a candidate for implants. I have the feeling that the answer will most likely be not. My new dentist, a prosthodontics, thinks that the bone and tissue loss is to severe. So, we'll see. In the meantime, I have my new partial and even though it doesnt fit that well (which is why I switched dentists), I am chewing quite well these days -- so well in fact that I have gained back 10 pounds.

Hey you were in my city! :) Should've given me a shout!

You look great!

By the way, my lower lip and chin are still numb, too, and it's been 8 months post op for me.

Yes I agree! YOu do look great! Sorry to hear about your numbness, Kristens too. Mine seems to be coming back pretty steadily so I guess I'm just lucky.

I'm sure you are still glad that you did this though right?

I just had implant surgery done today! Piece of cake after all this jaw surgery stuff! LOL...

We are truly hardcore surgery veterans now! Hard to believe sometimes how much we have all been through huh? We should all meet somewhere when were are all totally finished! LOL...

Keep smiling!

Hi Mary,
I lucked out that nothing stayed numb except a small area at the roof of my mouth. I too have no problems chewing and gained back that 10lbs. I guess jaw surgery isn't the "best diet". - lol

It's so amazing how our bodies adapt to a new jaw structure so quickly. I think you look wonderful and just so confident and happy. I'm glad that at 11 months everything is good, just waiting on the implant verdict. Hope it works out!

Hi Mary,

I'm sorry to hear that you are still numb after all this time. Have you gotten any feeling back since this last blog?

I am looking into buying a unlocked iPhone and using it on Rogers. What is the cheapest plan I could get per month, my ideal price range would be around $20. And how would I go about and getting my hands on a Rogers SIM card.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
