A lot Happens in Two Weeks

During the 2 weeks recovering i have learned i have my good days where i feel good like i can get a ton of stuff done than i have bad days where i don't feel so good and i feel like i will pass out or throw up. I've been advised since i came out of surgery to not blow my nose and that's driving me crazy right now not being able to blow my nose. Its impossible to not yawn and believe me its hard to not yawn with my mouth wired shut. I sneezed for the first time since my surgery and that hurt like hell. I can't brush my teeth right now so i just use warm salt water and a special mouth wash that was prescribed to me. I'll admit this has been super hard on me lately i really do miss my normal solid food diet. I know i am alone in this cause nobody i know has ever gone through this and i wish i could meet someone who went through Jaw surgery to help me get a better understanding in this. I had read a lot of other Jaw surgery stories as i went through the journey to my Jaw surgery and honestly i thought i was prepared for it and deep down i wasn't prepared enough for it. My mom hasn't been very helpful or supportive as she keeps saying to me " you expected this to happen after your surgery" well no duh! Yes i expected this but i didn't know it was going to be harder on me more than i expected it to be. I tell my mom i am still new to this and clearly its new to my mom and dad too especially when she says this is new to me too. I can tell that Jaw surgery is not a common popular surgery right now or else there would be books and even more information about it. I am basically learning as i go and i know i am not the only one who had this done. Until someone i know goes through this and has their mouth wired shut for 8 weeks than they will understand but for now nobody will never understand what its like. I'm basically purifying everything and i can't suck out of a straw till next week. I will say its not easy eating with a spoon and its challenging to eat with rubber bands in my mouth. I have a surgical splint in my mouth and it will becoming out in a short 4 weeks.
I am beyond blessed with all the love and support i have gotten through out this its been freaking amazing and i am sure loved. Now that i've been through this i can tell someone else what to expect if they have this done. 2 weeks down and i have about 6 weeks left to go so i really hope i can try and chew food again in December and i return to work in the middle of November so its going to be really good to go back to work and let everyone see me for the first time since before surgery.
