Well, I think it's about time I sum up this chapter of my life. It was absolutely worth it and I strongly encourage anyone thinking about having this surgery to do it! It is by no means easy though. It takes a lot of time, seeing that I still have some swelling and being eight months out. You need family support as well. I don't think I would have made it without my family helping me. I still think I have a little muscle weakness on my left side because of the nerve loss that is still apparent. I am beginning to feel the roof of my mouth, and hopefully the rest o the feeling will follow. I can do simple things now like bite through foods, sleep with my mouth closed, and smile with confidence!
