I only have numbness in my lower lip and chin now. I can tell the feeling is starting to come back though since it is a little itchy and tickly (yes, this is a word, I looked it up.). The only area that still has a lack of movement is the right side of my nose (left side in the picture below). I don't seem to be making any progress here. I can feel the hardware under the skin, so I wonder if this is the reason for the lack of movement and if it will be a permanent result.
I can get 11 popsicle sticks comfortably in between my teeth now, and 12 at a stretch. I am trying to make it to 14 by the end of the year. My goal is to be able to finally eat a sandwich again! Even though I am not able to open my mouth wide enough to eat a sandwich yet, I can pretty much eat anything now as long as I can squeeze it in my mouth.
