So Thursday March 10th was four weeks. I was supposed to have an appointment with my surgeon the 9th and I got a call that he was sick and we would have to reschedule. They snuck me in early Friday the 10th. He took a look and said everything was settling well and to come back in two weeks. It was my easiest appointment! Hopefully I am cleared to eat the next appointment. I asked the resident about the drain holes on my chin because they hardened up. He said most likely they are permanent, but I can try to massage them to break up the scar tissue. I also found out I've had the lightest rubber bands on this whole time which surprised me.
I didn't ask, but I was supposed to be able to blow my nose by week four. My nose is a little stiff still, doesn't really bend side to side. I did some light blowing, but I was still cautious.
I am really starving some days which is awful. I can't wait to eat again. I am yawning like crazy too, I am sure since I am back to work, and no more naps :).
My Grandfather is sick in Florida, and I asked if I could go visit. I got the okay! The surgeon said that if people have fluid in their ears after surgery, it can be painful to fly, but I should be okay. My fight went great and I had a really nice visit. I met up with my Dad and got to spend some time with him.
The weather was gorgeous. Hot, with a nice cool breeze. Very sunny. It was warme than Houston which surprised me. I even got to try out a few yoga poses, and yikes, my balance is not what it used to be!
I feel really good. My jaw feels 100%. I still have some swelling in my right cheek and chin. Still have the numbness in my chin. But other than that I am so happy with my results :). I would definitely do it again.
