Almost 9 Months Post op

Wow, I think this is the longest I have gone without an update! Mostly because I don't have much to report at this point. Things are still progressing daily, just slower at this point. Feeling is still coming back and I can feel my whole chin pretty much now. My lower lip still has some patchy numb areas but is coming back gradually each day. Chewing has improved and feeling is now starting to return in my upper teeth. I still can't really bite into anything with my front teeth though without it being uncomfortable

Sinuses are doing well, no issues to speak of since the surgery. That means we are at 2 months post op with no sinus infections or anything else, so that is awesome! I missed my final follow up appointment though, but since everything seems to be doing well I see no reason to go in for it.

I won't be getting my implant placed until March sometime as my dentist has ordered the parts but has not called me yet to place them. I will be on vacation for a couple of weeks so its not going to happen until I get back. Same thing with the appointment with the cosmetic dentist to replace my front crown...when I get back in March.

Allergy shots are coming along great. I'm on once a week shots now...for 8 weeks, then I think I go to every 2 weeks, and eventually once a month.

Life is returning to normal and overall, health wise I'm feeling great! I'm wearing my retainer at night only now and my teeth appear to have settled into a more normal position. I'm careful not to miss putting my retainer on every night though as it is always tight when I put it on and I think if I missed a day it could get ugly! I have a retainer check on March 25th I think, so I will post then regarding what my ortho has to say.

Other then that....live goes on! I will post again in another couple weeks.
