The Sweet Taste of Freedom

I am freed!! Well sort of...I got a crazy kaliedoscope of rubber bands on the side of my mouth, but yeah it works.

I have one word to describe this, weird. I don't know how to use my mouth. I don't know what to do with it. How do I open it? How do my muscles work? Do they know where my bite is or do I have to train it? How do I eat? I feel I need to carry a mirror with me everywhere I go, so that when I open and close I see how it works and make sure I stay straight. This is so weird.

I did however manage to cram a mini saltine in there. Boy, I never thought I would love a cracker as much as I do right now. It was so delightful. The taste of freedom comes in the form of solid food.....

Ok so, the surgeon was on the fence. I am for the most part healed. But there still is an iiiiiiiiitty bitty bit left to do. So he wants to see me on monday to make sure my bite hasn't shifted. God forbid if it does, its another week or 2 wired shut to put it back in its place like the rotten child it is. Back to the corner you go!! Don't make me get the belt!!! Otherwise I am clean sailing once everything is all patched up.

So keep your fingers crossed!! Let's not go back to wires!! I think if I had to, that would be the second time in this process I have cried.

I am going to save my de-wiring lessons learned for AFTER my monday appointment. I don't want to go jinxing this by jumping the gun. Hopefully this weekend goes smoothly and I don't have any issues. Like I said keep your fingers crossed. Back to the mirror I go to practice....
