Two Dr. Appts Today
I’ve got two appointments with my doctors today. One with Dr. Woolf in the morning which will be a general check up of my mouth and throat and later this afternoon I’ll meet with Dr. Vikstrom and get my blood checked. I’ll post a follow up later today.
Well I had those two appointments and they both went very well. Dr. Woolf poked, prodded and stretched my jaw and said everything looks great. I still have some scarring on my jaw muscles, which explains why I can’t open my mouth as wide as I used to, but he told me some ways I could slowly regain my ability to open my mouth wide again. This is a drag still, because I can’t eat things like hamburgers, sandwiches and other large things, without having to smash them down to size.
I also met with Dr. Vikstrom and he also said things seem to be going well with the healing. My face is clearing up slowly, and I’m getting a little weight back. My lowest was 188, but I’m now weighing in at about 194. So there’s some progress I feel good about. I also had my blood taken for several tests, including making sure my thyroid is functioning properly and didn’t get fried by the radiation (which is pretty common I guess).
So the new was good and I’m doing well each and every day. Still can’t eat anything even remotely spicy but most things are back to normal, except I still can’t drink wine. Whaaaa!
