Hi everyone! It's been a great (and interesting) three days! I love being home so much more than being in the hospital. I enjoy the freedom. It's definitely nice to be able to walk out of my room without getting permission from nurses. I feel so much better, it's almost like I've never had jaw surgery.
Okay, I'll start out with that last orthodontist appointment. As much as I hated walking back into the hospital, I knew that it would only be for a few hours. Apparently after they break your face, you get A list treatment, and we were let right in. Either that, or they didn't want my face to scare the little kids in the waiting room ;-) But anyway, they told me that my bite was basically perfect. Scratch that, it was perfect. I bite right into my splint every single time. So, guess what! I don't have to be wired shut! And do you know what that means? I CAN TALK UNTIL FOREVER!!! And my family was looking forward to the silence. But then again, why would I do what is expected of me? The doctors were planning on rubber banding my mouth shut, so why would I let them actually act according to plan. I've never been one to appreciate authority, why start now?
So, we were finally released. I slept the entire way home. This brings us back to the past three (ish) days. Since I've been home, I've seen movies, went swimming, walked around uptown, and had lots of visits with people. This brings up a big point. I PROMISE YOU PEOPLE IF YOU VISIT I WILL NOT BREAK. Please, come visit! I'm getting sick of the old lady (my mother) and fast! I would love to see anyone who is in reasonable distance. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see my friends in Brazil and New Zealand, but a trip to the states just doesn't seem like a feasible plan. So, if you're not busy, stop by for a while! You'll be glad you did! (great, now I sound like a used car commercial... what is my life coming to?)
That's really all that has happened. I'm just glad that everything's going as great as it has been. I can't wait to get back to my normal life... which really wasn't that normal anyway.
BYE!!!
