One week post-op!

I can't believe it has already been a week since surgery. I have to say it did go by pretty quickly. Things are getting better and better everyday..just one week more and my wires will come off! I'll definitely be looking forward to that.

So I had x-rays taken yesterday - that went well and were really neat to see - before and after comparisons. My doctor's appointment also went really well; he said things look great and he got rid of the "jaw bra" I was wearing throughout the week. I was weighed and of yesterday had lost 8lbs in 6 days so hopefully I won't be losing much more. I have to increase my caloric intake, but it so hard to get much down when you're consuming only liquids and through a syringe on the side of your mouth. Also, below my eyes much of my face is pretty numb, I mean I can still feel when I touch everywhere, it just feels much less sensitive so I hope all of my feeling will return sometime soon. I'm still waking up pretty congested as well, but other than that I'm fortunate that everything has gone well and I'm recovering nicely.

Here are a couple pictures..please excuse the disheveled hair.
