Back to work on Monday!

My lazy days will soon be over. Monday I head back to work. I'm actually excited to go back. I miss all the wonderful people I work with and the clients! I am a little nervous as I'm still not speaking that clearly. I'm understandable but not quite where I would like to be. I also hope I won't be in too much pain because the more I talk the achier my jaw becomes. I have no doubt next week will be trying! I should be getting the splint out late afternoon on Monday so I hope that will help clear things up!

I went to the Orthodontist on Wednesday. Her and her staff are so lovely. We really just chatted about the surgery and she said she saw a huge difference from just looking at me. She took a quick look at my teeth and said things looked great. Once the splint is out I'll go back to her and she'll replace my surgical strength wires (which have the dreaded hooks on them) to lighter wires. I hope to get back in to see her this coming week if not the following.

Yesterday I successfully and without much difficulty ate a scrambled egg. I've been getting much better at drinking from a cup and not spilling all over myself. Both of these things are highly exciting! They say around 8 weeks post op people start to feel fairly normal again. I'm just over 5 weeks so I'm getting close.  We'll be in Boston in two weeks for Brad's birthday and I hope to not have to pack my Ensure but we will see.

I'll probably only be posting once a week or so from here on out as there's really not any daily changes happening. With those weekly posts I will be sure to add an updated picture! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend :)
