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.

Hi Elaine!
Gosh girl...you've been through the wringer with all of this, I really feel for you!! It can only get better and that's what I hold onto!! I'd love to see some updated pics of your progress as the last posted has been a while. :) I'll be praying for everything to straigten out...no pun intended. :)

I'm the last person to give you a hard time for leaving us hanging (hangs head guiltily), so I'll just say that I hope all has settled well with the (hopefully)last of your face-related incidents. No news is good news, as they say :)
Thinking of you and wanted to say thank you for being a huge blessing to me through this orthognathic stage in our lives, and all the best to you in the craziness of real life resuming front and centre stage in it.
Take good care,
xoxo
