I'm beginning to think I'm not a very dedicated blogger...my last post was August 20th. Sorry if you've been pining away to read about my adventure. As crazy as this sounds, this ordeal has been quite disappointing in the "entertainment" field. I was expecting a traumatic time with lots of weird stories but for once, my mouth has been pretty boring! I was "released" from Dr. Miller last week. I've officially started eating "normally" again--with the exception of sandwiches and subs that require a big 'ol bite. I am flossing daily and brushing like there is no tomorrow. You never know how much you appreciate super clean chompers until you enter a long standing relationship with PLAQUE.
I must say I have no problem hollering or yelling. I DO teach 8 year olds all day everyday, so my newly situated jaws got adjusted to screaming pretty quickly. I'm still numb around the outer edges of my lips, so really, if I've gone a little overboard with lip gloss people, you must inform me!!! Other than this, I can safely say this surgery gets a 99.9% approval rating. If there are Oscars for Best Jaw-Breaking Performances, I'd immediately nominate my surgeon :) I've also decided to become the 'poster child' for orthodontics/surgery for my orthodontics' practice. I've been emailing and offering encouragement to other patients who are just beginning the process. It's a scary ordeal, but so worth it. I have an appointment with my orthodontist in the next few weeks. After I receive them, I will be posting the true before and after pictures. You will be amazed!! Until then, forgive me for falling off the blog-wagon :) I'll try to keep you posted in a more timely fashion from now on!
