Almost healed?

So I went to the gym today. Hadn't been in about three weeks. On Tuesday, I was still feeling too worn out and lacking in the nutrition department. But today, as I was sitting checking my e-mail, I realized I was ready and eager - yes, actually eager - to finally get back to the gym.
So I did.
The end-result? I have lost less strength than I thought I would have lost. I will need to do a bit more to catch up to where I was - but not so much.
As for whether I am completely healed, no, not yet. Excessive chewing still makes my jaw hurt a bit, but at least I am able to eat most normal foods. I am still avoiding overly crunchy things, bagels, and things with lots of small bits (like rice) which could get caught. I am also still chewing on the "wiser" side of my mouth - but sometimes I forget and chew on both sides, so that should say something as well.
Anyway, I am getting there.
