Another day...It feels great to have the splint out. Another day with that thing in my mouth and I was going to go crazy. I can talk normally now. As for thicker foods, I haven't really tried any...still eating lots of rice and beans. :) (No side of guacamole but that's an idea!)My mouth doesn't get as gross after eating though; much easier to clean. My mouth definitely feels stable without the splint. I have my rubberbands on still, so that makes it feel more stable also. I don't know about the rashes. I would ask the doctor about it. Maybe it's from your pain meds. What are you taking? <br />And now I can attest to the fact that it DOES get better in time!! :)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219187085758419722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581122429723494170.post-54981783358959079182009-05-23T20:32:00.433-07:002009-05-23T20:32:00.433-07:00HURRAYYY!!!!

I just used it on the lowest setting. For me, all my stitches are up under my gums, so there was no harm in cleaning the splint area.
