Sorry :-\ - Day 18

I know, I know... I haven't been updating like I thought I would have. Last update I believe was on day 7, and today is now day 18. Allow me to recap some of the greater things from this surgery.

Day 7 - I was able to walk and get out of the house! Best part was, I was free from the house, and out in civilization! I also can breathe so much better today than I have in the past 3-4 years!

Day 9 - I went to a job fair for MPS. It was a little difficult trying to talk to people, and all I could really do was hand in my resume to different schools and say "I just had double jaw surgery, so I apologize if you aren't able to understand me" That day, I also brought a full bag full of goodies to go to my boyfriend's house, and I spent the night there :)

Swelling has gone down noticeably

This day I also ran into someone at Blockbuster who asked if I had jaw surgery, and we had a 10 minute conversation just talking about what each of our experiences was like.

Day 10 - No more Amoxicillan !

Day 14 - I can drink out of a cup! You have absolutely no idea how much I've been waiting for this day to come! I had Mac n Cheese from Noodles!!!! Best meal ever.

Day 17 - Eating has gotten pretty easy for me now.
------------------------------------------
From this surgery, I have lost about 17 lbs, and I am not complaining at all about the

Things that bug me from this:
My bottom jaw likes to move when I'm trying to sleep, and the muscles push it forward so that the teeth are touching, instead of the normal bite where my teeth fit in the splint.

Anyhoozles. Here's my progress so far :)
