Recovery Time.

Hey guys, just stumbled upon this forum while looking around the internet trying to find info on jaw surgery. I’m from Newfoundland, Canada and I’m due for jaw surgery in a couple of months, the exact date isn’t set yet but my university degree follows a tight schedule [January to April: Co-op work term, May to August: 5 courses in school, August to Dec: Co-op work term] and I don’t have any more than 10 days off between terms.
Just wondering on average how miserable everyone feels after jaw surgery and how long until you become a half functional human again (i.e. could go out with friends, go back to school and actualyl concentrate) I know it varies for everyone, just looking to hear stories of peoples past experiences.

Thanks.

I had upper jaw surgery and went to work after 2 weeks (desk job).  First 5 days were spent mainly sleeping.  Energy levels back to normal after 3 weeks.
