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!

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...

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...

De-braced!

As of Tuesday- my braces are officially off! :) And let me tell you... I can't stop taking selfies!!! Just minutes after getting out of the orthodontist's office.  Everyone was so excited for me! It took approximately one minute to get them off. That's so crazy! Hurt a little bit, but not much and was sooo quick. Bye bye braces AND arch wire! YUP. You read that right! I don't need an arch wire on the roof of my mouth anymore! He said I should be fine without it!!! So right now I have NO metal in my mouth! *hallelujiah* I have my upper (plastic) retainer. It's amazing and beautiful. Can hardly tell I'm wearing it! I will have to wear both my retainers 24/7 (except for eating and brushing) for 4 months. That's like nothing, haha. I don't have my bottom retainer yet. He asked me if I'm okay with a regular (metal) one for the bottom. I don't even care, haha. So I will be getting that one next week. They said it might be hard to talk wit...
