After surgery diary #1

Yesterday morning my lower jaw was broken and put back together, slightly longer. On the consent form I signed, the procedure is reported as Bilateral Saggital Split Osteotomy. After this, the anaesthetist thought it would be nice to put down something more understandable and added the crude but effective: bottom jaw forward.

I hear it as it would be said by a Dalek: bottom - jaw - forward!

All this was done to... EXTERMINATE! a dentofacial malocclusion.

To all the people in my life who asked me why I am doing this, why I am putting myself through the ordeal of upper and lower braces for 14 months + surgery + more braces + possibly a retainer at 46 years of age, I said that I want to be finally able to bite for real, to chew correctly, and to save my teeth and gums from the increased risk of cavities and diseases that comes with crooked teeth. All this is true.

What I don't say, is that I want the ability to smile with no shame.

I want to be able to smile with all my face and all my heart. Therapy is not enough, I need to cancel the shame of my childhood from my face too. It is not lost on me that after this I will resemble my mother less. If I had a better reason to do it, I will change my nose as well.

I will be happy enough with the mouth. This mouth that I am liberating. This mouth that I am reshaping with my money, my will, and my pain.

Today, is mostly pain. And ugliness. I'd never been so ugly in my life! I have no bruises or wounds but I am swollen like a rain frog. I wanted the open smile of a character from a short story by Fuyumi Soryo (A Strange Gene, from the collection Taiyou no Ijiwaru. Read it! It's great!) but what I got is...

Now I need the right collar to go with the aristocratic jaw. Amazon? Etsy?

Ever since I had jaw surgery four years ago, I’ve been able to feel the weather coming. Snowstorm? Sore jaw and a headache. Rain? Sore jaw and a headache. Wind? Guess what, sore jaw and a headache.

I’m literally that old lady of the village who’s like, “There’s a storm brewing! I can feel it in my bones.”

Through the pain of a thunderstorm rolling in this morning, I’ve been wondering…

I want it so bad.

Met with my surgeon today and I've officially been cleared to eat and do whatever I want. No more activity restrictions! Yay!

Now I can start the slow process of building my muscle back up (and also eat some fucking chips, fuck yeah)

Got the nack of drinking water myself, this is how. I have to use my finger as a guide, have no idea where my mouth is, otherwise squirt it everywhere but my mouth. . I'm numb from the eyes down to my neck, so if I dribble, I only feel it hit my chest 😂

Despite being told I won't for a few week, managed to get a smile in 😬
