Success!

Well it's over and I am in a LOT of pain. Surgery went really well, no complications. Last night was very uncomfortable and I've only just returned home after the night. In need of more medication which my mom has just gone to pick up. I have ice cubes in a pack but we are looking for crushed because the cubes are hurting, especially when I am in need of meds. I am not going to say much right now but here are some pictures taken between getting out of recovery (around like noon i thnk. Surgery was around eight thirty and the next thing I knew it was four o clock and I was in my hospital room) to now. I am already super happy with the results, just can't wait for the pain to end omgthis is the rppm my mom and grandpa were left to stare at four about four hours

right out of. recovrry. i guess my mom had bern playing eith my phone as she figured out how to use the camera lol

TOMORROW!!

IT'S HERE OMG

I haven't slept in for over a week now and the cruelty continues with an 8:30am surgery time, meaning I have to be there at 7am. With a 45-hour drive, I will be up around 5:40am yay.
Of course this is a small price to pay for such a fantastic thing!!
I procrastinated quite a bit on the whole supply thing so I'll just be playing it by year I guess. My mom got a blender and she's going to grab some Boost and Ensure or whatever it;s called, and SlimFast tomorrow while I'm in surgery.

Yet again a procedure has been added. My surgeon wants to do genioplasty of some sort (to do with my chin, because it is quite large) which he says will really make a difference. I'm not really sure of the specifics but I said sure. I trust him, and if there isn't much of an added risk then why not. My big chin is one of the parts of the underbite I hate most, so obviously I would like that taken care of as much as possible!

Anyway, I've got my onesie set and my Teen Wolf episodes loaded onto the computer (not sure if I'l even feel like watching anything in the hospital tomorrow, but if there's one thing I'm prepared with it's my entertainment. You can see where my priorities lie ;D)

Well, I guess I should get some sleep (I don't get to eat in the morning this is going to kill me)
I'll see you all on the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still can't believe it's finally happening!


(ps to the User (Kim I think it was) who commented on my last post, I accidentally deleted the post as my computer glitched when I tried replying to it but I read it and thank you!!! :D)

FOUR DAYS!!!!!

Figures I get a cold the weekend before surgery, but my mom says I don't have to be worried about it (I wasn't sure if a cold would affect surgery, I've never had surgery before so not sure haha)

Anyway, wow this is incredible. The only thing I'm nervous about is my eating after, and getting caught up on all of the school I'll be missing. Other than that I'm more than excited!!

I'm spending my last weekend having a Harry Potter marathon with my best friend, and then my last supper is on Tuesday with my family at Pizza Hut (:

I had an pre op appointment with Dr. Barr, my oral surgeon, and I guess they've decided to add a step into my surgery. Because my top jaw is quite a bit smaller than the bottom, they're actually going to split it in two down the center and widen it a little bit more. He also ran through the risks again, since I haven't heard them since...wow, 2011 I think? It doesn't seem like it was so long ago. 

Anyway, the risks are a bit scary but I'm pushing through. Like he said, the biggest risk is permanent numbness in the chin, while the other ones are very rare, and most of them are easy to fix. But whatever, I'm not about to back out now. 

I just find it so amazing that they can even do this, it's mind boggling.

Well, that's all I've really got to say for now. I'll be stocking up on supplies so I guess I should make a list. Not sure exactly what I'll need but I bought a onesie for the occasion. I'll just use Google, haha.

I have about a week and a few days off of school that I'll be using to catch up on sleep and TV shows, as well as writing time (I'm participating in NaNoWriMo for the first time I'm a bit nervous for that too!)

I'll probably do weekly videos as well so I'll update those on here as well (:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to any of my Canadian counterparts! I love autumn, it is hands down my favourite season and I wish it lasted longer (with the leaves and the jacket/sweater weather and the prettiness). I don't like hot, and I don't like cold, and spring is even worse with the slush and the ew. I mean sure it's a nice sort of 'rebirth' of nature if you will, with all of the plants regrowing but.....no thanks you. It is sort of ironic though, how the prettiest season is one in which things are dying. 

Anyway, seventeen days to go until surgery! I'm not sure that I'm really nervous at this point, I'm thinking it's because it just isn't close enough yet. The nerves will probably kick in right before. However, this is more of a positive surgery. I'm not going into it going "wow I hope this works" or "I hope I survive" sort of thing, right, so there isn't quite as much to be nervous about. I AM excited though, for sure. Like I've said before, this is something I have hated for so long and the fact that in seventeen days it's going to be completely gone is just so surreal. Everytime I look in the mirror these days I just think that soon I'm never going to see this reflection again (a good realization, but also a strange one). Plus, I can't wait to feel confident when I'm posing for pictures! That's going to be an amazingly refreshing feeling. And biting into things, honestly, is going to be one of the best parts. I mean right now when I bite into a sandwich I can't get through the whole thing so the insides either get pulled out or I have to awkwardly push it all against my teeth (usually with a finger - so not attractive) when I hope no one is looking. 

One of the weirdest first feelings though is obviously going to be running a tongue along rows of teeth that actually line up. I can't even comprehend that right now.

But I'm excited that's for sure. I just got a new job at Tim Hortons, Justin Bieber is doing his Music Mondays (and his movie is coming out this Christmas ah), I'm going to see both Paramore and Pink in concert as well as Les Mis, and now I get my surgery done too. This is going to be the greatest year end yet! And it will definitely be one of my best years, in my opinion. Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, prom and graduation all on top of this - amazing (for me at least).

Anyway, here are some pictures of my day at the Orchard in my town (ish - about ten minutes outside). So beautiful, and there's nothing better than fresh apples in the fall on a hayride <3 Anyway, my underbite is pretty prominent in these, but on the plus side I am in love with my scarf/jacket and my hair semi co operated so I'm not complaining (:

oh and my cousins candy apple, which she could barely even eat without braces/underbite hahaha, how sad

 Happy Thanksgiving, and happy fall! (it's a celebration all it's own)
