I finished the steroids I was taking yesterday, and am S-L-O-W-L-Y shedding the horrible awful side effects they brought on. My family is thankful, as my mood swings were spectacular. I called my mother in tears, telling her I felt like I should put myself in the corner, b/c I felt so mean!
I can still not open my mouth, in fact I think that my range of motion for my jaw is a little worse then it was yesterday. I am in horrible pain, and have only managed to down coffee so far today. At night as soon as the kids are asleep, I take muscle relaxers, and that is the end of me until the next day. The constant pain is draining, and I hate that we are spending Tyrone's leave this way, nursing my poor jaw.
I don't go back to the oral surgeon until the 26th, when they will do impressions for a night guard for my mouth (apparently, I clench my teeth?). We will also schedule the MRI then. Tyrone is encouraging me to call my doctor tomorrow to see if there is something immediate we can do to treat my pain.
So, there you go, that's how I'm doing. Exciting, huh? :)
