The Mashup, Unbearding and Reassembly of @modprobe
<html>
<p>Hi all, today's post is a photo story showing the various photos we've taken on @modprobe since the accident during his recovery. &nbsp;We will start with the photo he asked me to take in the hospital, so he could have an idea of the damage done. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18527858_418234445221919_1316250297596864066_n.jpg?oh=299b2ffa1421a69159565ac861cd7c9f&amp;oe=59B39069" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>Still covered in blood and clearly bearded, poor @modprobe at the hospital where he still barely had recollection of being in Mexico.</p>
<p><img src="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fv%2Ft34.0-0%2Fp280x280%2F18491999_10210642257945128_695491180_n.jpg%3Foh%3D2e57814e91ea846bea3c73e99a336368%26oe%3D591F8D27&amp;h=ATOLh4rl_ryrXWivNTqxv8hl8NeiTiaCbjK5Ty_FpvfrsjMc5C1sE8Gm0d9PMs8VwkzUVyg8UAUTqI0_A8quOpgxkLHX16EzlhGH-6o6WH36IbaP50iCwCjNPV2LVW__SzWBCQ"/><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18519939_418234318555265_7680761026596033038_n.jpg?oh=e2676d8129151847018466d23b105b83&amp;oe=59B25C80" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>He asked me to take these before and after photos of him with his beard and freshly shaved. &nbsp;He also joked about putting them on Steemit, so here they are.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18556360_418234321888598_6871305930359407054_n.jpg?oh=a6710083fd9acc660dcdb575364431b1&amp;oe=59B46AE8" width="960" height="640"/></p>

<p>Just after the shave but before the surgery. &nbsp;Yesterday he had his jaw put back together, set and wired shut for a short time while he heals.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18486310_418234365221927_8963745071783761011_n.jpg?oh=758b2daf014f3cb8d53a56e0781f4120&amp;oe=59791A42" width="960" height="640"/></p>

<p>So as you can see, he still looks like a @modprobe, albeit slightly bruised and battered to say the least. &nbsp;He's currently frustrated at his condition, especially the part about being wired shut. &nbsp;As I watch him go through this I am reminded of thins I dealt with and experienced with my own jaw injury. &nbsp;I think it's allowed us to offer good advice that I never got during my journey though, which makes my experience 5 years ago a bit more worth it. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>All things considered, this situation could have been a lot worse for @modprobe, both concerning his health and his pocketbook. &nbsp;Despite everything, life should start to return to normal here soon. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Anyway, thanks for reading our stories and supporting us. &nbsp;Until next time, safe riding.&nbsp;</p>

Wow, that quite an affair you've been through and from the looks of it you'll get past all this and, with any luck, will have only a few small battle scars to go along with your story.

I can't imagine having my jaw wired shut.  I would think the worst part would be the mental claustrophobia.  One time I injured my lower back so bad that I was literally bed-ridden for several days and even the slightest twisting motion resulted in excruciating nervous system shocks. 

It was driving me crazy knowing that my mind was telling me to jump out of bed, but I knew it would be virtually impossible to bear the pain.

Hope you get well soon @modprobe!!!

As someone who has had their jaw wired shut (for five weeks total, much longer than @modprobe), it's a terrible fate.  My jaw hurts just thinking about it..or maybe that's the weather

Yeah, that happened. Sucks, lol. But I'm getting better! Broken jaw, cheek, a mild concussion, and otherwise some stiff/tender joints and general scrapes and bruises.

Yeah, breaking my jaw wasn't bad at all. Hell, we were rolling around town for days with my jaw broken clean in two, and none of us had any idea... _{uneasy laugh}_ Ok, so that's a slight exaggeration, but yeah, the hospital didn't realize my jaw was broken, it wasn't until we visited a dentist recommended by Lily that we realized my jaw was, indeed, broken. So yeah, breaking my jaw wasn't really that bad. Healing it, otoh, takes patience.

Broken cheeks are pretty small game, as I understand it. Being primarily cosmetic and non-functional damage, it may require surgery to fix, but it's a comparatively cheap and simple surgery where your primary concern is how you look at the end.

A broken jaw (sadly, a far more common injury) is a far bigger issue, as the jaw is obviously fundamental to many parts of the human experience. Eating, drinking, talking, biting, singing, and even licking your lips -- all utilize the jaw, and if that doesn't heal to its full strength and versatility, the loss of functionality is severe. The repair is appropriately more difficult, as the jaw can only be taken out of service to heal for so long.

The surgeon fixed my various face fragments together with some plates and screws he slid in through incisions on the inside of my mouth (two plates for the cheek and jaw each, if I recall correctly), and also wired my jaws shut to immobilize them while the bones do their initial healing.

Having your mouth wired shut is insanely obnoxious. I do not recommend it. For one thing, the wires cut into your cheeks and are painful. Also, it makes it difficult/impossible to relax your jaw, as the position it's held in seems to keep the muscles clenched in reflex (or at least that's how it feels). And of course, you can't eat solid foods. Or take undissolved pills (ugh). Or lick your lips and teeth clean. It sucks. The wiring should only last for two weeks at worst, though, and at best could come off in a few days. That will be nice. :)

Well thanks for the two stories to get me all updated to what is going on with you. The beard hid some of the damage, but I still like to see your almost clean shaven face again. Such a handsome guy! So thankful for your friends too. It is not a good thing to arrive in Europe and the very first message on your phone to be "mom, what's my blood-type"? And then to hear nothing for 10 hours. Haha, and I still don't know what your blood-type is.... Hang in there, and we are all praying for you. Lol (=in this case lots of love) M:)
