i can eat again! (kinda)
So I got my jaw unwired yesterday. I know what a lot of people are probably thinking..."wow that was fast!" No. No it wasn't. I pretty much didnt eat for the whole month of november. I broke it on november 2 and got it off on the 29 and my diet hasn't been able to change too much since the unwiring. It was a crazy ride. For the next 10 days i can only have food that is as soft as mashed potatoes because I need to build the strength back up in my jaw and make sure the break is completely healed. I only lost 8 pounds through out the whole ordeal which i think is pretty impressive. Well i lost 15 at first but gained back 7. You try to drink through a straw for a month and not lose weigh. oh any by the way, if i have one more girl say, omg! i wish i could lost that much weight, i want my jaw wired shut. I will personally make sure that your jaw breaks in two or more places and that you are never able to reproduce. People that small minded shouldnt be allowed to have small minded children.
Unfortunately the whole ordeal is not totally over. My teeth are really messed up from the fall and I will probably need a couple root canals and some more orthodontic work. Hopefully I can solve it with just like a retainer or invisalign though. I figure that I've been through the worst of it though and anything else from this point on won't be that bad.
Overall I would actually say this has been a very good experience. It's been very hard and upsetting but at the same time I can feel how I've grown and how I've been humbled throughout the situation. I'd never want to do it again but I know it's changed my outlook on a lot of things, such as taking food for granted (which I've always tried not to do) and thinking that things could definitely be worse. I'm sure that next time I am sick or have a bad headache or have to go the dentist (which i hate) I'll probably think, "welp, at least my jaw isn't wired shut!"

I will be able to perform in my show tomorrow! I have missed like 6 performances so far and can't wait to get back at it.
