I feel like I have marbles in my mouth!

As my mouth heals, the insides of my cheeks are thick (probably with some scar tissue) and it feels like I have marbles or cotton stuffed in my cheeks! I'm feeling self conscious again about talking and hoping that extra tissue will break down over time. Also, doing some massage on it, both inside and out! My kids are always saying, "Mom! Why do you always have your hands or fingers in your mouth!?"

Another good/bad thing is I can eat more (good) so I'm gaining weight back (bad)!

I have a recheck with the ENT today and my septum still feels crooked, making my right nostril smaller than my left. That gives me more air flow into my left nostril and it is really getting on my nerves! Looking forward to talking with the doctor today.

Truth is... I'm a little weary of this process right now. It doesn't help though, that this week has been hard. When you're a mom of 4 (23, 21, 17, and 14) anything that they go through (that you know about), you go through and life is hard at those ages! I love them, they are constantly in my prayers, and I am okay... just weary.
