15 weeks have gone by

It's amazing how that time has flown since the surgery. There were some tough times and still are, but not nearly what we endured those first couple of weeks. A new friend had surgery a couple of weeks ago, I am so blessed to have gone through the surgery so that I can offer prayer, support and understanding to others.

I saw my orthodontist on Monday and my alignment is back on track. I still have a numb bottom lip and chin, but the feeling is coming back significantly each day. I often times at night feel a pop or have some pain on the right side while sleeping still, but I am blessed to be back in bed and no longer on the couch or in a recliner. If you didn't know I had the surgery, you wouldn't know there was something different. I still feel like my smile isn't quite right yet because of the lack of feeling in the lower lip.

I am looking forward to the start of school on Monday and life getting back to normal. Next goal: being able to eat a big ole hamburger without cutting it up. I can open 31 mm as of Monday, but I don't think I could bite down on anything.
