What a week. Still processing this week, but seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
After having a locked jaw for 6 days, I went to the TMJ specialist and was able to get it unlocked. With a shot of lidocaine, steroid, and lubricant, in front of my ear (all in the 1 shot), my jaw was able to move back into place. I'm as sore as hell, but it's back. With some rehab and an orthotic for my mouth to help the braces along, all will be fine. It will take more time than anticipated, and more money than I wanted to spend (much more, ugh), and I have to wear my night guard until Monday (attractive), but it will be healed. Praise the Lord! Praise Him also, for compassionate doctors, xrays, medicine, and treatment options. It was just too tight to go back on it's own, my disc was completely in front of the joint. Sigh.... it's ok. I'm in a better place now, and ready for rest.
Today's workout was Upper Body Focus. I will admit I was distracted worrying about my appointment, but it was still a good workout. I love working out with resistance (weights, bands, etc.), excited for this weekend's results! Felt a good burn, and that took my mind off of things for a short time.
Stay tuned for the weekend! :) Finally after a rough week, smiles. :)
Thank you Jesus!
