Yesterday I saw Dr. Peppard again. My jaws are still not settling into a place and holding that place. I do think they are close to doing it.
Last night my ears started ringing loudly - I thought it was going to drive me insane. Rick and I were in the bedroom, he was talking to the kids on the phone and the talking was upsetting my ears, even tho he wasn't talking loud. I finally had to just leave until he quit talking to everyone. So I always get worried when that happens and think, oh no, now the high volume is back. Even when I was trying to sleep they were loud. But I woke up this morning and the volume had gone back down, not quite to the low buzz, but getting there.
Rick is also dealing with ringing ears, and sometimes his are so loud he hears it over everything. So I don't like to act like I'm the only one suffering from something. Many people have health issues way worse than mine.
The doc did say he was going to change my splint to one that will start to open my mouth wider. He wants to wait until I come home at the end of April because he doesn't want me to be gone when I start something new and not be able to go into his office. Neither do I. It just can't make my ears worse, that's all I know.
