I'm on day 8 of my orthognathic recovery, and I'm really getting sick of being miserable. My jaw will be wired shut for more than likely the next week, and all of this is beginning to overwhelm and depress me.
For those of you who have been pregnant, remember how you felt around 34-36 weeks? You couldn't quite see the end in site, you were totally unsure of how your body would look afterwards, nothing worked right, nothing fit, etc...? That is how I'm feeling right now. I'm sure I'll look great, but the anxiety of not knowing is getting to me. I know I'll be able to eat again, but 7 more weeks is a really long time. I'm hungry and there's nothing that will work to satisfy my cravings. I hope these feelings pass.
I'm sitting here at lunch at work, and I am just wanting to go home and rest on the couch. I'm tired, I feel like crap, and I'm having a nearly impossible time motivating myself. I should have taken off more time. I wish I could at least work from home...
I am still just as swollen today. I am not up for posting any pictures...I'm just feeling too self conscious. I wish I could hide my face for the next 2 months. 2 months right?
Sorry that this post is pretty depressing...that's how I am feeling right now. I've been told that is part of the process, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm holding onto how worth it everyone tells me that this will be...
