Week Eleven

Hello again! Time is flying by now, I missed week ten but I have returned for week eleven! Not a lot is changing anymore but I see my surgeon on the 27th and my orthodontist on February 19th so maybe I'll at least know the time frame on getting my braces off. Hopefully I'll be able to get them off for my graduation pictures too, just for a day (which might be a pretty big pain but it would be so much nicer! Of course it would sort of ruin the surprise of the 'big finish' I guess)

Anyway, numbness hasn't changed so I'm afraid that it must be here to stay.....goodbye feeling in my bottom right half of lip/gums/part of chin :( 

At this point I still feel like I look swollen but it's almost the three month mark so I'm starting to worry that these puffy cheeks and slight double chin thing is here to stay. I just don't fully get why because I'm fairly healthy for the most part and don't have a whole lot of fat on my (of course I'm not super muscular or anything so maybe I should start working out more hahaha)

I can eat pretty much anything now, although certain foods are hard enough that the way I bite them hurts a little, and I'm still not ready to try something like an almond yet. It's almost three months but that doesn't mean I'm completely recovered! My bones may be healed but they're still fairly weak even with the jaw aerobics as I like to call them. 

Anyway, enjoy these pictures that I took at work hahahah I hate my job (: 

Next time I post I'll be 18 so I shall see you all on the adult side of life!!

Week 9 / 2 Months

I'Ve MISSED TWO WEEKS AND I AM SORRY. Although not much has changed anyway so oh well. 

It is week nine and Monday December thirtieth was the two month mark! I honestly cannot believe it has bern two months already! 

Imagine if I had kept the Les Mis tickets for October... I would just be starting surgery this month. Thank god I changed the date of the show!!!! On that note I did see it on December 18, the seats were fantastic and the show was even better! It was SO incredible and actually made my cry several times. God I love live theatre. 

Anway I'm eating bascally normal now. Some things are still a little hard for me but I'm definitely satisfied now. The break from food was actually quite nice because now it's alot easier to stay away from bad unhealthy foods since i havent eaten them in so long, I don't really crave them. Plus my mom got really into paleo baking. Next step is motivate myself to exercise 

Numbing hasn't changed really which worries me a little. My gums are slowly returning, but I'm still not feeling the right side of my lip. I feel like it might not come at all if the rest of my lips came back so fast all at the same time and this part just is not improving. It's annoying but luckily it's in a spot that hasn't actually caused any harm so. The very tip of my chin is still about 97% numb but the rest o it is coming back it feels like in tingly sensations upon being touched. Imm keeping positive.

I ate my way trough Christmas but my work pants are still several sizes tok big for me now hahaha. My life is basically  

right back to normal at this point though, next step is removing the braces and I have no clue when that is even projected at being. 

I still have a litle swelling but it's down enough that most people who see me probably just think I have a chubby face (and a bit of a double chin that I really hope is not here to stay). 

Well, I hope you all (who celebrate it at least) had a very merry Christmas and that everyone had a great New Years!! I'm realy lookin forward to it myself! Plus Seventeen magazine said that Capricorns will find true love in January so I'm holding out hope!! 

Bye for now!! 

 i do notice that there is still a little more chin left than I would prefer but hey I'm a girl..... will I ever truly be happy with my looks? Not too likely hahaha. Don't get me wrong though I love my new self! (:
