Stitches and Ice Cream

I am truly astonished at how my teeth touch now, it's the most bizarre feeling. I also feel like my mouth is smaller now, probably because it's not being stretched to one side. I'm just amazed, so here are comparison pictures.

I found this pokey thing in my mouth this morning. After reading some things, I was afraid it might be a screw, although it didn't feel like one. Later tonight this appeared in my mouth, so I had to take a picture. Looks like the stitches are dissolving. Well that's what they are suppose to do, maybe I will be spitting them out this time around.





Since I am on a soft foods diet now and needed another 900 calories for the day, how could I turn down a trip to Leatherbys. =) Matt thought it was funny that I had to take my own spoon, so he requested this picture of my giant sundae and my baby spoon.



The swelling is still going down. I had trouble sleeping last night because of the pain in my upper right jaw side. I got about 4 hours, I am hoping for more tonight. But I think I am looking better. I am certainly feeling better. If only I could feel my bottom lip and not spill so much food down my shirt. I drool and spit up more than a baby. You can probably see that in this picture.



Thanks for staying connected, I appreciate your comments, love and support.
