Doctor says everything went as planned. Just this morning getting feeling back to my mouth, cheeks and lips. Apparently he used a 'time-delayed' anesthesia which will act over something like 96 hours. They gave me a "Jaw Bra" which wraps around my face and holds a couple of bandages in place. It looks a little silly like I need some bunny ears or something. I get to take that off later today and assess the damage. No real pain...maybe "yet"...but the good news is that my previous pain seems to be gone.

4-6 weeks of liquid, moving to liquid-ish diet. Follow ups, etc. I haven't been able to open my mouth very far but I can feel some strings(?) on either side which are the braces they told me about. They'll come out at some point.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers,
Hoot
