Surgery

Sun Jul 12, 2009, 12:14 AM
So. Yeah. Early Monday morning, I'll be going to Swedish hospital to have surgery done on my jaw. Lower, upper, and horizontal.

This has been a long, long time in coming and is a HUGE deal to me. I can't even stress how big a deal this is. It's going to do two things for me, especially. One, as it stands right now, the way my mouth is shaped means that I can only chew with my very back teeth and they are practically gone now they're so worn down. Conversely, I don't know that I've ever used my lower front teeth for anything, the space between upper and lower jaw is so huge. I use my tongue instead, if I have to bite anything I'm eating. The surgery is going to drastically change the shape of my lower face. Goodbye overbite/underbite. Secondly, you know how asthma restricts people's breathing? I sort of have that permanently. Because of the way my face is shaped, I physically have no breathing space in my nose and even my mouth breathing is restricted. That's why I sound like I always have a cold, for those of you who've spoken to me. The surgery will fix that. It's going to open up my poor cramped airways and make things so much easier.

It is a major surgery. The recovery time is two weeks until the bruising is gone and I don't look a chipmunk in public. The swelling will be noticeable to people who know me for even longer than that. It'll be a liquid diet for the first couple of days, and soft foods for longer. Also an overnight at the hospital. I'll have two little screws on either side of my jaw to hold it in place (and how will those do in airport security, I wonder O_o ).

Anyways, sorry to wax technical on you guys, but I've been waiting for this for so long. I'm practically dizzy with anticipation. I love all of you, and if I don't answer comments and such right away, it's because I'm lying in a drugged stupor.

Hey, thanks for the purple spider bead thing. I've got something in mind that I kinda want to make for you, but it's a ways off. Just so you know.
