Next Ortho Visit is POST SURGERY...WOO FREAKIN' HOO!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone, I went to my ortho today and he is cool with my surgery

date...hopefully the OS will be too. My ortho seems very confident in the

surgery... he said that I cant bite into a big mac for two weeks.... (as I

htought to myself... what kinda rock is he on, I think I'll eb lucky to bite

into a bg mac after 3 months, let alone two weeks).

I expected a bigger deal though at my last appointment - all they did was a

couple xrays and some mug shots.... they werent impressed that I wasn't willing

to take out my ear ring, but oh well... they can deal with it for the $$$ I am

paying them.

The surgical hooks went on, they look awful, but then again, the braces havent

looked much better for the last year so I'll live I guess...luckily I am

graduating from university soon and most of the people I see on a daily basis

wont be seeing me that much anymore... so new people can mee the updated looking

me.

Anyways, thats my storyt, just needed to tell somone I guess....

36 days and COUNTING TIL SLICE AND DICE!!! :)

PS> I am so making a shirt that says somthing along the lines of " Imagine what

the other guy looks like " to wear out of the hospital..

Hi Bob,

How's everything going? Have you repainted your house yet?

Everything here rots. My recovery has taken the song " Tomorrow " from

the Movie Annie as it's theme song. Feeling better is always a day

away.... yea, I am splinted but not yet banded. That will come later

from what I understand. I do have two tiny incisions on each cheek

for that screwdriver. One stitch each that come out thursday. I will

be glad to get these bandaids off my face so I can wash it completely

before my complexion nosedives along with everything else. I already

now have a miserable itchy rash from an adverse reaction to the

antibiotics. I think I have lost at least 10 pounds in the past week,

if not more. I am so demoralized right now that any appetite I had is

gone for the time being. My swelling externally seems to be going

down, but internally feels as strange and huge as ever. I am all

yellow-green and icky along my jawline and neck and chest. It was

nice to remove the chin bandage definitely, but very odd to see the

person looking back at me in the mirrow. The swelling seemed worse

with out it for me. But I am getting used to everything. I was

scrubbing forever to remove the adhesive off of my skin. I almost dug

out my bottle of GooGone for it. keep in tough and let us know what

you are up these days. Hope you're continuing to do well. Pam is in

competition with you now for recovery. See what your car washing

spurned?

Take care, katja

PS How did your day without talking go??
