7 weeks post-operation. Felt good today to get out. I spent some time with Luci June at Theme Days at church. So, here is my 7 week picture.
I am having a weird sensation. When I drink or eat something on the cool side, and I put it between the bottom lip and the teeth, I get a cooling sensation. Even though the food may not be extremely cold, I feel like my chin had a cup of cool water poured over it. I don't think I have ever had this feeling even when I could feel my lip. =) It makes me giggle actually.
Another boost for the day was swimming with my kids. I could hold them in the water because there's not 10 pound weight limit. I am not sure if I enjoyed it more than they did, I've really missed being able to wrestle around with them and lift them. Heck, LOL, I even had Kenny-Ray carry me around the pool. Talk about a smile and giggle on a kids face, he thought it was the funniest thing. Nothing but Joy to cure a case of the blues!

So glad that you were able to ENJOY time in the pool with K-R and Luci. With each picture, we see a BIG improvement in your "new" smile...as well as a renewed sparkle in your eyes. Don't be surprised if you have numbness, tingling, and a cool sensation for a L O N G time! It's been 7 months since my surgery, and I still have no feeling on the left side of my knee! Have fun with the family this weekend!

Bettelu that's stinky, but yah they told me the swelling could last up to a year. I think they said six months for the numbness was the norm with this surgery and they didn't have to cut a nerve so it should all come back as opposed to what they said prior to surgery. It's come back a little at a time
