Happily Depressed!!

I saw Dr. Oommen last Tuesday and he wants me to take new OPG to check whether the problem related to jaw healing. . I was bit worried, I just remembered my friend’s words, Relapse can cause with this kinda surgeries but i'm pretty over aged for that and that was the only consolation  I went KK dental 'xray & framing center' on Wednesday after class to take OPG and i 'm scheduled to see him again next Thursday morning.

I saw my surgeon today and the first thing I did was sit for an x-ray. He said everything looked great and the pain is nothing related with my jaw healing (thank God!). He added that may be this problem related to my teeth and braces so he wanna discuss this issue with my Orthodontist for that he is keeping my OPG’s, old and new(before and after surgeries) and asked me to collect that from his assistant afterwards.

Now I’m waiting for the call from my doctors….. Don’t know how much days I should wait…. From my past experience I know definitly that would take atleast one month… so I’m giving limits and continueity for that time interval, limit,  x=today i.e 4th oct 2012 to infinity hehe …  I’m wondering how’ll I treat my new guest(pain)  till then?? My Surgeon has told me no need of taking pain killers….. how’ll have food without fear?????

Missed Appointment

Also i have noticed something a little odd. Now I am feeling a strange pain on the bottom left side of my chin…. If i drink or eat something the shaking effect on the joined area (left chin bone to lips) seems to have increased a bit and two teeth started hurting over the lips…. It feels very strange but the same time bearable too so I didn’t give much attention to it at first but  every morning I’ve started finding clot blood particles being jammed on my teeth and braces and which doesn’t made me sad because I’ve already had this many times before my surgery. And I really know it would be there with me for sure until the braces come off, which might only be after a 6 months now… Later I found matters getting worse day by day… Chin bone pain is small at the same time it was having enough strength to wake me up from sleep and stops me my works in between. I‘ve started feeling that like a warning signal and i still don’t really know how things have turned out which is frustrating. Ringed Dr. Jeomy and he wants me to discuss this with my orthodontist Dr. Rodney but on that particular day I was having some serious paper work at class so I missed the appointment. I missed the appointment which doesn’t mean that I’m giving more/less priority to my studies/treatment but I loved that day’s work and I gave soo much time, attention and hardwork for that so wish to present that on that day itself. This is the first time in my whole treatment period I’m missing one appointment and I paid for that too  Pain started gradually increasing day by day and lower jaw turned stiff and shaking hard when I try to eat something and the joined area including lips hurts like I’m trying to some do some over work with it.  Tried to contact Dr. Jeomy again… I knew that he’ll get angry but I have no option left in my side other than that. Dr. Jeomy went angry as I expected. He suggested me to consult Dr. Oommen. 

My sweet new born chin hurts today

Well its over a month now since i had the top done and today I got the bottom fit….. My orthodontist pulled my lower lip out to get full access with bottom teeth but that almost killed me felt like to push that doctor as hard as possible and rush out of that clinic like Ganga did in Manichitrathazhu movie….. But I don't like to scream, and don't wanna disturb my doctor's work so kept my mouth open silently eating the paining signals…… 

On my way back to home I felt an awful sensation on my chin bones (left one) and slowly that spreading onto left lip and chin area (ohhh my sweet new born chin, I love u!!!!) I’ll take pain killer after reaching home, I thought but for my great relief that slowly winded up…. Teeth pain was there and that digging effect ….  Hmmm I need to attend Dr. Murukan’s wedding treat day after…. Will I able to be there happily???

Going to have a quiet day today reading and watching movies on my laps.. Chin and lower set of teeth complaining occasionally about the new fixtures put on. Oh well at least i know from experience now its a week of sheer hell and then it’ll settle down a bit. Fingers crossed till then ‘eh!

Back to Brace's World..:D

Well I got the top fit today…  I thought it might hurt like hell but I was ok with that pain I guess…  Not so severe one, I could simply bear that pain which that brace offers….  My orthodontist hopes that we’ll do the bottom after a week….  Now I’m back on to those old days, swelling, bleeding, antibiotics but,  

                       No pain, no gain don’t they say? Bring it on!!

No Pain All Gain

Saw my Orthodontist Dr. Rodney for the first time post surgery on Saturday. He said everything was looking fine and was amazed how much my profile changed! I told him everything was going great, but my nose became little bigger and the flesh around my nose turned up like sinus which only happens at old age and that bother me every now and then but he doesn't felt any kinda problem there. He just removed the digging wire from my mouth and granted one and half month rest before moving on to the braces world, i pleaded for a six month gap. And he complained Dr. Jeomy for my request then he just laughed that off..... 

Back to Real World!!!

7th July(73rd Day)

Saw my surgeon (Dr. Jeomy) today and he removed the wiring which has been put inside my mouth and it hurt very badly…. But not that much pain I happy to say apart from a nasty sharp wire that seems to be digging into the bottom of my left cheek. He wishes me to consult Dr. Rodney to continue with my ortho treatment… He hopes that wire can be removed according to Dr. Rodney’s consent…. 

I went to my friend’s wedding reception on Thursday and was really nervous about seeing people again, and what they would think! Will they give the same response of my aunts and cousins? They've already told me that they failed to trace out changes on my face.... And the response was hugely varied, some people said they couldn’t really tell and others thought i looked hugely different. The whole subject certainly gave me something to talk about.  In terms of how I think I look – yes i think i look better on photos (when i compare the before and after shots) - but in real life I’m not completely decided.  I am guessing that most of the swelling has gone by now – so what i can see is just me….but I’m definitely not used to it yet. I don’t think I’ll really know for sure until the braces come off, which might only be a couple of months now. No pain with the braces now, but i seem to have a new contact point with one of my teeth at the front, which is a bit tender. And gaps appeared in between…..

I’m seeing my Orthodontist on Wednesday - so I wonder what he will think! Will he give the same opinion of Dr. Murukan or what?

Fourth Appointment post surgery (51th Day after)

Had another appointment with my surgeon today and he was very much happy to see my new face…. He said swelling almost over now and we can continue ortho treatment and for that he’ll contact Dr. Rodney today…… Moreover now we could remove the wiring inside and he’ll contact Dr. Jeomy for that. Then my nose who's size increased a bit as a side effect of this surgery can be reduced through a minor nose surgery (I’ve been informed this before) if I’m that much bothered about this and now we can move on to that segment too… and for that he asked me to contact Dr. Jimmy Thomas and review after 1 month…

In return I’ve received one call from Dr. Murukan to collect my treatment chart from him…. So I redirected my journey to his clinic… He appeared very pleasantly and showed a big applause to see my new look…. He said my face has changed a lot!!! And advised me to do that nose surgery as fast as possible…..
