Day 5

Yesterday started off bad, but then got better! The morning was so miserable. I think because I tried to drink some coffee. Bad move for my stomach. It was just protein coffee and it was a little bit but my digestive system just couldn't handle it. And my nose was sooo stuffed up. I was just so angry with the world. I walked outside and just sat on the back porch for a little bit after my shower, which was good. Except for the crazy wind.

Around 3 I decided we were going to go to my house and then pick-up the peanut from daycare. First time out of the house! I picked up some awesome mail from my bff. She sent me coloring books, crayons and tea! :) She's the bestest.

So we picked up Amelia from daycare and there wasn't that many people there. So I didn't get too many crazy stares. From the kids mostly, haha. She has finally figured out who I am I think. She's not afraid of me. We sat on the floor last night while everyone ate dinner and played and she kept trying to climb on me and I think she wanted me to hold her. I miss holding her. :( The whole outing was crazy because my sinuses went CRAZY! They kept opening and closing. Although a little painful, it felt relieving that they were something other than stuffed.

Anyway it was a good night because I got to see my cutie and my hubby. Plus my aunt and uncle stopped by. I tried mac n cheese for dinner, but it was pretty bad. It was chopped up really thin, but that actually made it worse and it all got stuck in my splint. So freaking annoying. But then I had mashed potatoes and it was the best thing ever. Four cheese mashed potatoes with gravy is where it's at for me right now, haha.

Pain-wise- I'm feeling a little more achy. I waited 2 extra hours to take the pain medication before bed last night. So I slept amazing because I got close to 7 hours. 11-2 and then 2-6. So I took one less dose yesterday! That's an accomplishment!

First day without my mom today, but I've got my dad, hubby, and brother-in-law. So I SHOULD be okay.... so far so good. Dad made me breakfast and cut up my anti-biotic. Now it's lunchtime! :) Already showered so it's all good. Here's some photos from yesterday!

Playing with the peanut.

Without the face bandage. It looks like a lot more swelling because it's off, but it's a lot better.
From the side.
This swelling needs to calm down. Seriously. Haha.

1 YEAR POST OP

Well HEY! Nothing much has been happening with my mouth lately (WHICH IS GREAT!) so that's why I haven't updated or anything. But TODAY marks ONE YEAR since my jaw was broken in two places! Can't believe that I went though with it. It was honestly the best medical decision of my life (except for maybe my epidural HAHA). I wear my retainers in the evenings and all night. I see my orthodontist and my surgeon in April. I'm hoping I get the go ahead from my ortho to only wear to bed, but we'll see. I'm still extremely happy with my smile. There are tiny gaps in little places occurring but there's nothing I can do about those- says my ortho. Just normal movement. They don't bother me either. I still can't really feel my upper gums, but it doesn't bother me at all anymore. It's just weird sometimes. I love my smile! I wish I had more to say, but here's some photo spam instead. :P Me, TODAY. Loving life and my new smile!  Me...

Day 6

My set-up at my mom's. Vaporizer, for the win! This water bottle also has been amazing! So glad I got that and the jaw bra beforehand. They have both been lifesavers!  My parents and bff gave me the same get well card. Are they trying to tell me something? haha It was amusing. Yesterday was a great day! We had a full house at my mom's. My Uncle even dropped by.. even though it was just to have my dad help him buy movies off of his iPad, lol. My dad made me breakfast and lunch and my sister made me a banana-pineapple smoothie. It was bomb! I wish it weren't so cold or else I could go for more walks but it was a good day yesterday. Jon and the peanut came over, too and we had a ton of fun! I painted my nails rainbow (because I'm awesome) and Uncle Lou Lou played with Millie a lot. Driving in her favorite car! Getting fed by daddy. I miss feeding my baby girl. ;(  I had pureed spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! It's not much to look at, but oh man...

2 months post op!

Wow! I can't believe it's been 2 months already! SO much has changed within the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping it's all thanks to my splint removal! That thing was miserable. Things are really great right now. Amelia, 10 months old ahhhhh, is sleeping through the night now and that makes a HUGE difference. Swelling: It still varies, but it's mostly not noticeable to random people. I notice a little bit. Still around my upper cheeks but it's definitely not as bad as it was. Now that I'm chewing I think that has helped a lot. My lips are back to their regular size! Numbness:  My upper palate and upper gums are still numb. Makes things a little hard to chew but I'm getting the hang of it. Not sure if I'll ever get feeling back there. It's a little annoying because I think I have a cavity on one of my upper teeth and it hurts to floss, but only at the root of my tooth, haha. I guess that's a good thing? Pain : Only after ortho adjustments. No r...
