2 Week Post Op Appointment

Tomorrow will be two weeks since Rachel's surgery. 

Recovery is moving forward without any complaints, other than the fact that Rachel is tired of eating the same few things and the fact that she's just done with the splint in her mouth. She's only taking Advil or Tylenol about once a day at this point, no more round the clock pain coverage. The last two nights, she has slept the entire night through in the recliner! She's doing really, really well. 

We had an appointment today with Dr. Martin. Rachel was really hoping that he would remove the splint today, but he did not. She was pretty disappointed, but hoping that next Monday will be the magical day. 

He looked inside and said everything is looking really good, healing, putting her teeth into the splint nicely. Some of the questions and concerns we had he said were all normal. I'm thankful for the weekly post op appointments!! 

We made a stop at the grocery store on our way home for a restocking of soft foods. And a stop off at Miguel's Jr for a couple of bean cups. Up until now, I'd been concerned about making her smoothies with yogurt and frozen strawberries because of the seeds getting in places that aren't healed, but I asked about that today and Dr. Martin said things were healed and strawberries would be fine. Perhaps having something new to eat will help her get through another week!
