Day 13 : Boredom and errands
This video almost perfectly shows exactly what my surgery + orthodontics is trying to accomplish.
In terms of recovery, I think I'm entering a plateau at this point. The swelling will continue to go down incrementally, but unnoticeably. My energy will continue to increase slowly as well. My nose doesn't seem to have any more old blood coming out of it.
I can suck from a straw now, my left ear is still stuffy, but according to the surgeon that's normal, and I shouldn't try to pop it. That's pretty annoying, but manageable.
I've convinced myself that the teeth tilt is not a sign that my jaw is canted. So I can be anxious about that only most of the time now.
Tomorrow will mark the 2-week mark though, which is exciting! Most other blogs seemed to stop posting daily by this point, going to weekly or monthly. I may do the same.
On to Day 14.
