Well, I made it. I got through my jaw surgery, and it's all pretty much down hill from here. The worst part for me is the fact that I'm very limited in what I can eat. You try eating just Jell-O and Boost for a week and see how you feel. But at least now I can have oatmeal and mashed potatoes and soups and stuff like that. I will survive. Thank you to everyone who sent their love and support. I really appreciate your thoughts and love. I'll try to keep posting updates and other stuff throughout the summer, but it may slow down once I start working over at the pool. Though hopefully by the time I start working I'm not so swollen. At least the doctor said most of the swelling was due to my wisdom teeth being removed and not the actual jaw surgery. Oh, and how cool is it that I now have titanium plates in my lower jaw. I think it's totally cool that I can see them in the X-rays. The plates are about 1 1/2 inches long, and they are holding my lower jaw bone in place while the new bone regrows. Once I'm completely healed, the bone will have grown over the plates which are going to be a permanent part of my jaw from now on. Totally cool stuff.
