I can't believe its been ONE week since I had surgery last Tuesday.😀 This was a traumatic surgery that I went through and I've had to adjust to this and I won't lie it is hard. I actually cried and couldn't believe that its been a week since I actually had food to eat last Monday. I had to give myself a pep talk like okay I can do this, I can make it through this. I am "wired" shut with rubber bands and that means I am "wired" shut for 8 weeks. I can't chew anything for 8 weeks my oral surgeon put me on a strict liquid soft food diet for 8 weeks. I am recovering for 2 weeks and it's going well. But it will take a good full 6 months or even up to a year for my top jaw to fully heal.
I had my one week post surgery check up appointment with my oral surgeon and he was happy with the way recovery is going for me. His staff was so happy to see how i looked and i got compliments like crazy and i am happy the results are showing, I got a new updated x -Ray done and i got to see the screws and plates in my top jaw when i looked at it on the computer screen. Yeah it was kind of weird LOL but so cool however it was weird for my mom to see the screws and plates in my top jaw and I'm sure its weird for her to see it especially since all she could ask was " are the screws and plates really in your top jaw?" as she would look at the screen. So i could tell it was weird for her. When my oral surgeon saw me he asked " Who beat you up?" and we both laughed. I get to go back on Halloween for another check up and i have a good feeling i will love the new results as i recover. :)
