about these posts

For those of you wondering what the “jaw journal” stuff is about: I had lower jaw surgery in 2011 after more than ten years of chronic pain due to a dislocated jaw and malformed bite. I chronicled my jaw surgery and recovery experience on my blog. Years later, I still receive fairly regular messages from people who are facing their own jaw surgeries, and so I decided to keep these blog posts live. Hopefully these posts will continue to help others facing a similar ordeal!
