    Hello!

    I'm back, I exist and thought I'd drop by :)
    I hope that everyone I spoke to is doing fantastically!

    I'm now urh.. week 15 after surgery! I can't actually believe I got here, that 6 weeks of being wired felt like it would never end. My love goes out to anyone wired over the festive period!

    At this time I'm able to chew most things, in small bites, however I have powered through and eaten pretty much all I've wanted too. I still can't open my mouth too wide, just over two fingers worth, anything else still feels like my head'll pop off. I've noticed it aches a lot if I yawn and after a long day at work, I waitress and just gab and smile all day. The worst part at this point is just teeth sensitivity! I have to walk around with a scarf over my face to keep me from squealing.

    I've not really taken many photos of my teeth at the moment, nor my face as my camera is broken, whoops! However I'll get some in January when my braces ARE TAKEN OFF!

    I do however have some photos of my face, these were taken on Tuesday when I graduated from university :)

    PS Do your lips now meet when they are relaxed?

    U look beautiful ! I got upper jaw surgery last Monday and I had gotten really depressed but it has been 10 days and my swelling is like gone almost completely down thank god because I thought it was gonna take much longer. But anyone who's gettin ready to have surgery just drink lots and lots of pineapple juice everyday until surgery time my orthadonticts told me and it actually helped !
