my jaw still hurts like a bitch when i try to open it all the way or bite down on something real hard. normal movement is ~40mm opening, but i can only manage ~30mm now.
the major break(as seen on the right side of the pic) caused a small piece of bone to be taken out. when they put my jaw back together, my teeth no longer align like they did. in fact, they no longer meet in the front. so i can't really bite thru some things...i have to bite into it & tear. that sucks the most. also, think about how many times you have like a small piece of skin on you finger or something & you bite it off w/ the front teeth....i can't do that now
the glancing blow gave me whiplash like a motherfucker & i still can't move my head to my shoulders or all the way looking up w/out serious pain.
but considering i hit FACE-FIRST INTO A TREE @ 60MPH....guess i'm doing pretty good LOL
