What exactly were you told to do for after care? Gunson doesn't have you do anything yourself with the elastics for two weeks. Maybe its too soon to be changing them. Were you given specifics on diet and are you eating and keeping your mouth clean? I know I sound like an over bearing mom, but watching someone go through this over the past three weeks has me on high alert.
hey meep meep meep I actually really really need your help so please be an overbearingmom. this is why people love gunson and arnett they have really precise instructions and things they care about and so patients can follow them.
wow so funny i was pretty "robust" and then losing all painkillers and having a breakdown in detroit has really f**ked me up eh?
wow.
anyway, thanks for your interest. i was told following: like soft foods soon, after a week or so. at first he wanted the splint on 30 days but then he just took if off and kept it off to check the bite. said everything is great. said start soft foods. start brushing and cleaning regularly.
I mean if there was no forum here i''d think all of this were normal but now i feel like something's gone wrong.
oh just to clear:
sinn did not give me plan till five minutes before surgery. said bite is great.
I'm about to get an appointment with a max fac to do my aftercare here this week. oh well, such is life and the risks of getting this surgery in the US so far away.
