All By Myself

Today was the first day to be on my own. No Mom and no Brad. I got up around 8:30am, took a shower and made myself a fruit smoothie. I then went outside to take advantage of the lovely cool weather we're having and took a walk. I'm finding that my neck is getting extremely stiff from laying in one position for so long. It's hard to hold my head up straight so I know I need to get out and move.

Over the last couple of days I've been experiencing a lot of pins and needle type stuff on my lower jaw and chin. It's not painful just a weird pulsing sensation. I guess it's a good thing as that means the nerves are trying to work again which is great because this numbness is the pits! My swelling seems to be at a stand still. I've not seen any improvement over the last few days. It's simply decided to sit in my lower jaw and chin area. I'm not happy about that! I see the Dr. tomorrow for my 2nd post op visit so we'll see what he thinks. I also feel like my bite keeps moving around which should be impossible with the plates, screws and bands so it's probably me just trying to adjust to it. I will post an update after my Dr. visit tomorrow.  Here's today's pic and also one of me trying to eat the soup my mom made a couple days ago with a spoon. Comical!!
