Only saw him for about 5 minutes. I have another appointment in 3 weeks, when he will be cutting my wires off, needless to say these next 21 days need to fly by.
It's weird though, I was under the impression that I'd be seeing him every week, I mean there isn't really anything alarming going on, he said there were no signs of infection and that everything seemed to be healing nicely. Eh, what can I say? He's a busy guy.
I got my chin dressing off - finally-.. But I realize that I look a lot different then I thought I did. My chin is reaally short now. Like really short. I feel like I have a little fat head now and that I look like a rat. I don't know, I'm not too happy with the results so far.. Hopefully it's just the swelling and I'll look better after, but then again who really knows.
I'll post some before and after pics and an update on swelling and numbness later on, I'm just super drained right now.

15 days post op
Well, lets jsut saying not having eaten real food for over two weeks you get kinda desperate
I'd read online that some people blended up mac and cheese and even mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes, lemme tell was a heaven on earth if I'd ever eaten it.. but the mac and cheese hmm..
I mean I don't hate it but it's not great. I'm sure if I was on a regular diet I'd have thrown up by now..
It's kind of like a cheesy oatmeal.. don't think I'll ever do this again.
In other news, I've been great so far - other than some teeth pain which is fine because that means I have feeling in those teeth. My numbness is steadily going down as is the swelling. There's still a lot there but its quite the improvement.
My skin has also been peeling a lot around my nose, which I've heard happens after jaw surgery.
hmm, I'm good I just wish I could eat something. and I've got another 3-4 weeks until I'm unwired. (I die a little more inside everyday.) I'm tired of liquids. I hate milkshakes. I doubt I'll be drinking anymore after this whole ordeal. I hate soup, I've ruined mac and cheese for myself (let's be real, I'll never forget this mac and cheese oatmeal thing ever in my life)
I just want a burger, and pizza, and my moms pasta. And a sub from subway like that right now would be awesome. Honestly, I'll be happy if I could just open my mouth wide enough to yawn comfortably, and eat without having pieces of food stuck behind, in, between and wrapped all around my braces and surgical hooks & wires.
But it's okay! I'll distract myself by having movie/tv marathons and trying to go out, all though it's not fun when I talk like someone who reeeaaallly needs to go LOL.
But I have my first appointment with the surgeon at 8:45 am so we'll see how that goes.
