Day74- First physiotherapy appointment

Physio went really well, I really like the therapist. He measured my opening and it is 1.5cm which is almost half of what I would of been before surgery. The appointment was a hour long and about 20 minutes of it was an initial assessment of my jaw and why the surgery and what type of pain and movement do I have now. My pain is zero and I feel about 75% normal- all I really want is to be able to eat a gigantic hamburger. The other 20-30 minutes the therapist did stretches and massaging of my jaw at the joints. Lots of pushing and pulling it open-which didn't hurt and actually felt kind of nice. He also went over some exercises I should be doing at home to help get the muscles and joints working. I have an appointment with the physiotherapist once a week for the next two weeks. He also mentioned a therapy device called a jaw-jack that works much like a car-jack to help with at home exercises and maintaining work that is done at the sessions. I'm really excited to get back to normal and am feeling positive about it all. The therapist also said that we won't know if the disc is problem or if it is just very stiff muscles until we get more motion.
