Oh what a beautiful morning
Good Morning! What a beautiful morning, I woke up feeling pretty good. The inside of my mouth is a little sore and my face still a little swollen, but other than that I am feeling great. I went to the doctor yesterday and they took a look at everything and said everything looked good and was healing well, other than the swelling but as long as it was better than it was things are good. They activated my palate expander and showed me how to do it. I have to turn it twice in the morning and twice at night, which will expand it 2mm a day. I have already noticed a small space in between my front teeth which is what it is going to do in order to prepare my mouth for braces to reshape everything into the shape it is supposed to be in. I found it a little difficult to turn it myself but I am pretty sure I managed to do it twice. It doesn't hurt, it just feels awkward. I have a slight headache and am not sure if it's from that or my sinus area healing because it feels a little raw in and around my nose, but I am also trying to take the minimal dose of pain medicine so I only need it when the pain is unbearable. As of Monday, the doctor said I can start adding soft foods to my diet instead of just liquids. Things like mashed potatoes and soft things I don't have to chew much, which I am looking forward to.
