TMJ Day 4

I saw Dr. Franco yesterday and he said my recovery was really good. He said he expected a lot more swelling. We talked about my bite or lack of and he said to keep trying and exercising it. Once we do the breaks they will fit together more naturally. For now, I need to keep the joints moving. He said that he was surprised when he "got in there" because my joints looked like a 60 year old and they were mushy and gross. Ha! So, he rebuilt them and that is the strong tension that I'm feeling. I'm supposed to go back on Wed. and have my stitches removed. Today I napped less and took less pain killers but I'm still tired and there is a lot of tension in my head and pain in my ears. Franco told me to go ahead and eat solid foods. So, today I ate oatmeal, eggs, and blueberry pancakes without a problem. Here are my ears today.
