I can't believe it has been 5 months since I had double jaw surgery. I feel great, the only problems I have had is due to me being so busy I forget to do my jaw stretches so my jaw has become pretty tight again. However, I can still open it pretty wide it is just really uncomfortable. Once I stretch it out it feels fine, no popping or tightness. : )
I have my appointment scheduled to get my top braces off. YAY, I can not wait for Jan 6th! Great way to start off the New Year, with a new smile! The bottom braces should come off a couple weeks after.
I was just looking back at pictures and I even though those first two weeks were super rough, it doesn't seem all that bad now… of course that is easy to say now that I am eating pretty much anything I want, and can open wide!
I love my smile, and face. My smile can still be gummy when I get really smiley, but it is different. It is not as gummy. My chin still feels a little strange when I see it in pictures other people take. When I do my selfies for this blog I like it, when i see it in other pics it looks huge!
I will finish this post up later tonight! Need to get back to work.

149 Days!
Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted anything. Most days I have some what forgotten about the huge ordeal that happened back in July (the double jaw surgery). However, I am still pretty tight, but I can squeeze two knuckles in my mouth which was my goal. It's not fun to do, but I can do it. lol
I am still numb on my chin, but I can feel when it is touched. It's not 100% feeling, but it's something which gives me hope that eventually it will come back. Chewing is no problem now. I am eating everything I want. I haven't bitten into a whole apple, but I still have braces. Pretty sure that would be a terrible idea while I am wearing these stupid things. Yes, I am so done with the braces. I am ready to move on… and eat and not worry how much food is still left in my teeth, most likely my entire meal. So annoying.
ON the bright side, it looks like I will be getting them off in just a few weeks. He was hoping to get them off before Christmas but he wants to tweak one little thing, so looking more like the first week of Jan. I am soooo excited. I will probably throw myself a party!
Anywho. Writing this post incredibly fast as I have to start teaching voice lessons in 2 minutes, but really wanted to get a post up since I have been so terrible at it!
I have loved reading everyones posts, and so glad you all are doing amazing!
