Day 78: My weird feelings are starting to vanish

I am sure I have mentioned the weird sensations I have been experiencing that well make me cringe inside. I feel like I am touching cotton balls, or there is chalk all over my hands, or biting down on foil all the worst sensations balled up into one where my teeth and hands, and I just shiver thinking about it. I touch things and I feel it in my teeth. It is the weirdest thing to explain to people, but I have been feeling it constantly for the past 7 days or more. Today I finally had a few hours where I didn't notice that sensation AT ALL! Thank GOD! I seriously was worried this would never go away, and I was going to be put into a straight jacket, because the sensation was about to drive me insane. While I feel the feeling a little, it's no where near what I was feeling prior. Praying tomorrow it fades even more, or is completely gone, I am okay with that too! ; )

My mouth is opening wider since my last post which was 3 days ago. I have been making myself eat really chewy things, like dried fruit, and powerberries and larger pieces of meat. I think the chewing is helping to loosen the muscles. It is a little uncomfortable, but I know it will only get better then more I work it so I might as well suffer through the aches I get at night, which really are not that bad. It's better than the aches and pains before surgery.

Thats they other thing my jaw has not popped once since the surgery, and I no longer get migraines weekly. My jaw seems to be loosening up, and I think once its opening all the way it will be better than ever. My neck still hurts a little, but no where near like before surgery. I guess I hold all of my stress there, I should just go get massages more often. Poor me : P

I got my hair dyed today, between my new lower jaw and smile, and now the hair I might be feeling a little overwhelmed. I wanted a change... well I got it. It's growing on me. If I decide I hate it I will just add some blonde in there to lighten it up. I can't tell if it looks unnatural, since I have always had light hair.

Well happy October! I can't believe fall is here, and 2 months and 1 week have passed since my surgery! Crazy!

Hope everyone has an amazing week!
