I made a LITTLE progress with the food I ate

9th day post operation. Ok some people still do not really know what Orthognathic Surgery does. Ok basically it fractures your jaw bones and shift them to the right position. For me, I had both upper and lower jaw shifted. I removed 4 pre-molars as well. So now I am wearing a plastic splint on my upper jaw and have very very firm steel wires all over my teeth and up to my gums to ensure the bones heal in the right position. Just like when u fracture ur leg or smthing, u nid a splint to hold things in place. So everything in the mouth just feels very tight.

Anyway, the swelling went down a bit today (ok, the first thing I do every morning when I wake up is look into the mirror and check if any swelling has gone down.)..but still I dun look like me..hahahaha...NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo.....

Ok I WILL NOT take a photo of how I look like becoz i get grossed out myself...basically most of the swellings at the sides of the have gone done (due to my constant applying of warm towels..hahah)..but the most irritating swelling has to be at my nose and cheeks area. Coz I had my upper jaw shifted as well, so it's understandable that the upper jaw plus the cheeks area is very swollen..ahhaah..but i look so funny!! So....not me.. It's still a little tender when I try to touch it la..

My sis was saying some joke this morning and I couldn;t help it so I sorta "luffed", of coz i had to hold my hand over my face so i wont haf too big movements. I could almost feel a tearing feel on the inside of my right cheek lo..oh man..like it was really threatening to split. so scary.

Anyway, I made a little more progress with the liquid I drink nowadays. For the past few days, it was like Ribena, Horlicks, Campbell soups and all over again...Today! I made progress with....................hard boil eggs...ahahahhaaha....and it's those kind that can't be cooked for too long..so it has to be absolutely liquid. So it's rather eeky. But at least I am getting more nutrients from eggs..hahaha

Oh ya, today I saw my favourite butter cake on the table (my grandaunt makes this every new year coz she knows we all love it)...so I couldn't control it, i decide to pinch a little with my fingers and try to stuff it into my mouth (now my jaws can open at most a space of one index finger). I could almost hear my jaws stretching over their limits..so i stopped and lowered my head, so i could allow that bit of cake to fall out of my mouth (my tongue has vv limited space to move ard..)...

Reunion Dinner was sad for me..coz I only had chicken soup..but my mum had avoided cooking my fav fried prawns (i used to eat just 0.5 or 1kg of prawns myself with like 3 bowls of rice at least)..and then she say we will have make-up reunion dinner when i recover. Yeah! And my mum made this year's Reunion dinner a simple affair as well..sorry ma pa and sis, becoz of me, everyone hafta eat such simple food :(

So the rest of the day was spent...opening new yr goodies and smelling them...hahaha..

Yes Jiahui~! we will so go eat a good meal after i totally recover!!! I cannot take sashimi..coz i tink i am allergic to raw food..the last time i took it i came down with fever..ahhaha...but dun worry...there's always other options for us rite! Feb say he will treat me when I get better! Ruiyi too. Ok I got 2 treats and a long sake-fan list to draw up man...hahaha..

I really can't wait to eat proper food...but bone fracture...I dunno how long it will take to heal..I better pump in more milk..hahaha..I probably need a good 4-5 weeks bah.

Anyway, the orh-che on my wrist is getting bad..and it's even affecting my ability to hold things..sucks..oh ya..see the little holes on the left of my wrist...those were the 8 little holes used to poke the 8cm needle..can count visibly 6..hahaa
