Today I'm feeling

okay

I thought it would be a super idea to start a Jaw Surgery Journal. I'm going to post the entries in here for now, but I might create a new journal.. we'll see.

Step 1: Mouth appliance

Day 1: Went to Dr. Sarosi’s office. I spent a good 2 hours there, getting it adjusted and re-fitted over and over again. It started to hurt, and I began to get nauseated after a while because of all the movement. Dad took me to taco bell, and I had a really rough time eating my tacos because the cheese and lettuce kept getting stuck in the part on the roof of my mouth.. ugh! Talking was awkward too. The taste of the device is not a pleasant one, either. I was very happy to learn that I might only have to wear it for 2-4 weeks, but we will not know for sure for a few weeks. I have to get it adjusted weekly… bummer. I also took a trip to Beaner’s with Autumn, and I kept feeling like I was being stared at, but she assured me it was all my imagination. Good thing I don’t work directly with customers, huh?

Day 2: Today was awkward, but a little better. I got to see my roomie, as she was in town for WMU day at the capitol. We went to lunch and eating was a lot better today, and I realized that food isn’t really getting stuck in my device- it just feels that way. I’m adjusting a lot better, but it’s definitely a slow process.

Day 3: I don't think I'm gonna do this every day. But for now, I'd like to say that I HAATTTEEE how disgusting this appliance can be, and i HAVE to keep it in. Eating still sucks. I'm trying to fight the urge to take it out and clean it every 5 minutes.

THIS JUST IN: my coffee drinking skills have improved. score.

Day 4: Well, my first day at work with this thing.. and nobody really noticed until I said something. Margie giggled at me trying to say certain words=p Anyway, I think my speech has improved alot minus some words and my eating has def improved=)
