Almost time for the surgery

It has been a while, since I have posted anything. I have tried to be more relaxed about the extra time I have had to wait for the surgery, but it has been hard. 16 months in braces before surgery is a looong time, no matter how you put it. And I know I still have at least 6 more months to go. My patience is really being tested to the limit, but it is out of my hands.

Monday is the big day, and I can't wait to get it over and done with. I have seen my orthodontist. The surgical hooks have been attached to my braces. The hooks annoy my mouth, and I have a lot of cranker soars. I have seen my surgeon, and he is a very nice elderly man with a lot of dry humour. He wants me to start talking and eating right after surgery. If he sees any boards with me writing on them, they will be confiscated. I hope I will be able to talk, but with surgery in the upper jaw as well as the lower jaw, I just don't see, how I will be able to.

I will propably have to stay in the hospital for three days. After that my mother is going to take over the cooking and cleaning, which is quite nice for a change. :-)

I am a bit "hyper" with surgery closing in on me. I am not worried about the pain, because usually my body is pretty good at taking care of that. I run a lot, so my body produces a lot of endorfins. But I worry about, what my face will look like. Will I like it? Or is it going to be like looking at a stranger. Things are going to change, and the big question is, will I be ready for it?
And will everything work out as they have planned??? What if the bite doesn't come together???
