Week gone by...

Dec 22, 2010 16:46

It's been a week now since I had the big jaw surgery. After all that planning and worrying and preparing, it's finally over. But it's also the beginning-- of recovery, relearning, and a new face shape.

( I got up really early last Wednesday morning and we went to the hospital... )

surgery, jaw, santa barbara

Thank you! <3 Sometimes I don't feel as strong as all that, but I'm holding on.

*HUGS*

When we get back from our trip up north, Em and I would love to come visit. We will bring lunch--anything you want--.

I'm really glad to hear that the surgery went okay; and good luck with the rest of your recovery! <3

Very glad for the report! I'm so glad to hear that you are healing well and ahead of schedule! It does sound very uncomfortable and painful though. You are a brave little toaster. I can't wait to see you again! I'm turning 30 tomorrow too! We will get old together! lol

Brave Little Toaster, yay! So I know you said your 30th was kind of underwhelming, but tell me one happy thing about it.

I treated myself to Nutella crepes at IHOP. lol

*hugs* So proud of you! Yay for us quick-healers, huh? I hear ya about waking up to random movement causing pain, but that goes away...the tiredness from little things gets better, too. For me it was rather sudden...one day I was taking naps, the next I slept pretty much through the night and wasn't tired again till bedtime! I know the waiting sucks (I'm starting to get really frustrated with it, too), but every day makes it better.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better too. I haven't had to take the pain medication at night as much the past couple nights (except Tylenol for a headache), but I am thoroughly annoyed by the sensations in my lower lip and chin and around my nose.... haha, I guess I'll cover that in the next update.
