Met with my surgeon today. For like 7 whole minutes, haha. It was weird because there's usually like my surgeon in the room, the resident doc and like 2 or 3 students (it's at the Pitt dental school). But today there was just my surgeon. I have to say it was nice. Usually he just talks to them about me like I'm not there, lol.
I asked him about all the problems I have been having. I only really had three issues. My stuffy nose, the bump on my incision and my jaw swelling/pain.
He gave me a z-pack for my nose. Even though all of a sudden it's not as stuffy, but still not completely better. But he said that should clear it up. I'm glad I didn't have to bother my PCP with this.
He said the bump on my incision is just extra tissue and it will smooth out no problem. So that's not really an issue.
Lastly he said some days the pain & swelling will be worse than other days. Duh, Larissa. I feel a lot better than the weekend today. My left side is still swollen, but my right side is down a lot. :)
All in all a good appointment. The whole 7 minutes. Haha. My next appointment is 6 weeks. My split removal. So 3 weeks from now. Ugh. And I have to make an orthodontist appointment for the same day. Unfortunately they didn't have any openings except for 2 p.m. Which happened to be the same exact time of my surgeon appointment.... so I need to try and change my surgeon appt. Fun fun.
3 weeks post-op. Don't mind the crazy hair/oily face. It's been a long day. Amelia was yelling all evening for no reason. I think she's going through a growth spurt. Goooood times.
