I did the relaxation thing. Along with the drugs, I took a hot shower, had a snack, and I slept. I just woke up about 10 minutes ago, and the first thing I did upon waking was to test my jaw, and it's back to normal! :-0)

The thing is, I talked to a doctor more than a decade ago about maybe fixing my jaw, as my TMJ is so bad...my jaw pops all the time, and I'm sure it gives me some of my worst headaches... But the doctor told me that that the TM joint is the only joint in the human body that moves both up & down, as well as forward and backward, making it extremely risky to mess with, even in the name of fixing it. People have had some success with it, but there are others who have come away from such surgeries in far worse condition than they were in before the surgery. He said that because of that, they don't like to mess with it if at all possible, and that as long as it didn't mess with my life too badly, it was probably best to leave it as is... but that if something changed, and it got so much worse that it changed my quality of life to the degree...that even though I knew the risks, that an operation that could make my jaw worse would finally be an option. If my jaw had stayed fucked up like it was this morning...I would have had the surgery.

My jaw wouldn't open wide enough for me to have toast...let alone cock :-0) That would be annoying. And it was painful. In my head I was already arguing with the doctors for massive amounts of high grade pain killer...which usually I don't do.

Anyways...I'm back on track now...and will hopefully stay there.
