Well it has been 3 weeks today since i had reconstructive jaw surgery. I was born with a birth defect of the jaw causing severe pain and discomfort.All of the tendons and muscles were severed on the right side. sometimes i couldnt eat alot because it hurt too much. Sometimes it would even lock up to where i couldnt open it up to a certain point.

Finally i had the surgery on febuary 5th. i was so damn scared because it was major surgery. it ended up being 5 hours long resulting in a broken upper jaw a scar on the side of my face that is 6 inches long and my mouth wired shut. the down side of this surgery is that my right side of my face is currently numb and my eye doesnt blink =(
but ill eventually get the feeling back, or so i am told..

eventhough this has been the hardest 3 weeks of my life between not being able to eat almost anything and random people making fun of me b/c of my face i know in the end it is all worth it..i will be able to eat anything without the fear of hurting =)

anddddd i got my wires off 3 weeks early so i can move my jaw a little bit now. Now i can drink through a straw! =D
almost done with this crap yay!
