two week mark!!


NOSE SWOLLEN. FACE SWOLLEN. PROFILE SHOT!

It has been exactly two weeks from surgery. I had two appointments today with the orthodontist and DR.Shah. He switched my rubber bands from surgery to more thinner rubber bands but im still not able to talk with them on... GRRR. but i have to tell you. the best feeling in the world was that moment he took the rubber bands off and i partially opened my jaw and saw my amazing teeth!!! im so excited to see the end results. I got an A+ on hygiene he said. so i must be doing something right. :) yay. haha I find it very difficult to drive in the car though, i get so nausea's... ehh.

hmm what else. TODAY! i will be able to eat soft foods... mash potatoes and gravy, garlic noodles.. wooohoo i cant wait. why am i not eating now??? haha

It felt great to go outside though. Its so gorgeous outside and the holiday spirit is def. in the air. Im going to start going for walks around the neighborhood. that sounds like a good idea to get my strength back. then maybe some ab workouts next week!! woot.

mmmm. what else. im still really swollen but its going down from week one.. so day by day its getting better. which makes sense. lol

im so excited about this process now and am very eager to see the end results. I know it wont be for awhile but i still can be excited. ill update next week!
HAVE AN AMAZING HOLIDAY!! (:

  1. You look like your doing well, still quite a lot of residual swelling but im in the exact same boat, and god aint it such a crap boat to be in.... I absolutely hate having a swollenish nose mines uneven cause i got swelling on one side of the face more than the other and the lips dear god, i could be freaking angelina jolie WTF......... hahaha ohwell things can only get better, no use moping around and looking at the bad side of things. Good thing you can start eating food, i personally have been enjoying roast potatos and gravy and even roast lamb, thus it being shredded and covered in gravy and im pretty much swallowing (Still tasted good), i was that freaking desperate for some form of solid foods.

    Sucks that they didnt let up so much on your bands, im starting to wonder why im not banded shut and just have to wear 4 bands on my teeth, but i guess if i wasnt allowed to take them off during eating i would find it ALOT HARDER! Ill ask my surgeon when i see him next.

  3. Talking to a few mates online atm, and pretty much listen to music, watch movies, dvd's, play xbox 360.... pretty much anything to let the time pass, i would honestly sleep for half the day, cause man holidays are the best for sleeping in and basically sleeping half the day away and then getting up in the arvo and hanging out with friends. but what can you do.... It sucks im only getting the bare 4 hours minimum sleep cause i basically have to be so tired to actually get to sleep in an elivated position and once i wake up i cant get back to sleep like i usually do. But all i can say Tomorow christmas is gonna be sad, No alcohol, No great food, and then i miss out of New Years even worse, no alcohol again and my mates are going up the coast for a couple and days and im in no condition to go haha.. But meh ill sacrifice alcohol and food for the jaw surgery and the end results.

    1 christmas and new years outta my life can be crappy for something which make life better overall.

    what do you haha, cant find anything to do?
