6 Month Mark...Yay?

Hey Guys!
So I've successfully reached the six month mark.... No complications, no worries..... But I still have my braces. I plucked up the courage to ask my orthodontist when I could get the stupid things off, and she said six months after surgery. I really felt like telling her that it was actually six months after surgery ON THAT DAY! Then she proceeded to change the wire, opening up a gap in my front two bottom teeth that is going to be hard to explain to my surgeon. Very annoyed.
But on the plus side, she said to get an x ray taken and she will make a date to get them off when she sees the x ray. So I can start counting down soon!
Ugh...... So sick of brace!
But oh well... Update you when I see the surgeon in a week.
See ya!

One Month Post Op

Yay! Finally one month post op! I went to the surgeon yesterday and he did away with the rubber bands and said that it was looking excellent and the numbness should decrease as time goes on. I am allowed to go back to see the orthodontist, and I have to go back to him in a month. So until I go to the orthodontist, nothing new!

3 Weeks- The Tape is Off!

Hey! So three weeks down and the tape is off, so I really have nothing to complain about. My chin is still really numb and feels kinda gross when I touch it. I'm eating so much better now and have kinda started to chew a bit and it is so good! I feel so much better and again, I am glad that I did have this op! My teeth have been pushed a bit out of place by the rubber bands but that is supposed to happen, so it's ok. I go back to the surgeon on the tenth when I am hoping he will say I don't have to wear them anymore. Changing them isn't too bad now but it was horrible the first time! Oh well, not long now!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! I took my tape off yesterday and it is the best feeling! I am really happy with how I look at the moment and how much my bite and the headache situation has improved. I have had hardly any pain and I'm glad I made this decision! I still can't blow my nose though! I go back to my oral surgeon on the 10th so I hope he says I can bow my nose and take my rubber bands off. But I'm not holding out too much hope. :) I am eating relatively normally, as the advice my oral surgeon gave me said I could start in 2-3 weeks after my op, and it's now 2.5 roughly, so I cut things up really small and kind of open and close my teeth to mash them. It feels pretty good, I just have to be careful not to do too much. Anyway, more news when I go back to my OS!
