brushing is a challenge - the side that wasn't touched is surgery is easy, but the surgical site side is harder. Gentle brushing where I can reach and lots of good mouthwash. Yesterday my surgeon started me on stretching my jaw - by putting multiple tongue depressors in between my teeth and then increasing them as I gain mobility over the coming weeks. I was only on a feeding tube for 9 days post-surgery, then liquids, now soft foods until I can open enough to get more food in and swelling is down enough to chew harder without worrying about biting the reconstruction. All self-directed as I feel comfortable. Really can't complain about the experience, it could have been much worse.
