Week 5

DAY 29:

So now the fifth week begins! Everything is starting to get easier to get used to such as the fact I still can't chew and missing certain foods but I think I am doing really well considering I am only on week five. So on day 29 another college friend came over to stay and she thought I looked so different. Before I had my surgery, she never really realised my under bite, but now that I have had the double jaw surgery she realized that I did have one and it has made such a difference to my face. For dinner I had hot dogs and potato alphabet letters (kind of like smiley faces but in letter form haha ), it was alright to eat because they are both very soft and I can just push them to the roof of my mouth and crush it down to make it easier to eat. I went to bed very late actually...probably not till about three am. But my sleep wasn't too bad in the night.

DAY 30:

WOOP! Day 30 ;) so yeah my sleep was alright actually, because I went bed later I woke up a little later so I woke up at 10:30 am, I know this isn't extremely late but it is a lot later than I have been waken up these past few weeks. My elastics are a lot easier now too, I didn't do much on day 30 to be honest just chilled out and relaxed. Did some theory revision because to be honest...I want to be on the roads asap.

DAY 31:

It's the day before my amazing father's birthday! SO I MADE A CAKE! Only made one recently for my sister's boyfriend's birthday too haha! Anyway's I made the cake and in between I did some theory revision again as well because I am starting to feel a lot more up to doing it now. Then I did two separate topics and then I finished the cake, my friend then came over for a short visit and told me she just got a job...SO for ages now I have needed a job now! I just get no luck with applications and interviews, this made me think now that I feel a lot more better that I should think about applying for some jobs! Then my dad came round as we won't be seeing him on his actual birthday because he is going to Brighton. We then went out to an ice cream place and I had a chocolate digestive cookie shake which was SO good! And it was easy to have as well because it was a shake and I could drink it through a straw or out the glass and not look like a tramp! There was two girls working there who I went to school with and one of them kind of startled when she saw me and realised it was me when she saw my family members ha! Classic, I could have some real fun with this new look mwahahaha! Then I went out with some friends and didn't get home till late and had my dinner at 3 am lol, it was really good though! Also my elastics bands were out for a good few hours which I know is bad but my canines on my bottom jaw were really hurting from the elastics pulling on them so I needed to have a break from them! I then stayed at my boyfriend's house and since we got together he's been trying to make me watch 'The Lego Movie' LOL and I kept saying 'another time' so I could try and ditch it...oops but I said we'd watch it because I had too one day and the more I put it off, the more chances would have came along for us to watch it haha! And to be honest, it actually wasn't that bad!

DAY 32:

My sleep wasn't actually too bad, I woke up at 11 am which is the latest I have slept in so far which was nice. Day  32 was actually a really nice day. I went to a nearby shopping centre to return my EE power bar because they had been reported to be exploding which is obviously not good! Then I bought some really nice white sandals as I wanted them for ages and just my luck I got the last pair and they so happened to be my size as well! AND the price was reduced from £35 to £16!!! So I had to buy them to be honest! Then we went to my boyfriend's sister's house for a BBQ, of course I couldn't eat what they was eating but his sister made me some noodles which were really nice and easy to eat of course and it was a really hot day which meant my worst nightmare... WASPS :( D: oh gosh I hate them so much...then I had a fruit pastel ice lolly which was my first one since I had the surgery and it was so nice but it felt a lot colder than it used to be...maybe because I'm used to hot liquid foods...mmm hahaha but then again, I do have really sensitive teeth! Then I went home and had gammon, mash, Yorkshire puddings all smothered in gravy to soften the Yorkshire puddings and oh my golly gosh it was sooooooooo lush!!!! I had to get up early the next day so I didn't go to bed as late.

DAY 33:

So I woke up an hour before my alarm and took ages to fall back asleep but then I finally did and woke up by my alarm at 9 am, I woke up feeling awake which is better than having dry/sleepy eyes sometimes! I had to be up early because my mum wanted us to go into the town to give out some CV'S to try get me a job, it's hard because you can tell when they won't give the CV to the manager or anything which is pretty rubbish. Oh well. I came home and applied for loads of jobs online also, and looked for the jobs at the shops where they said I had to apply online and tried to cram in as many applications as I could. Then I had a driving lesson at 2:30 in the afternoon, same as last week and this lesson, I learnt how to do an emergency stop and looked under the bonnet so now all I need to do is get my theory out the way and go over everything in my driving and hopefully I will be on the roads soon! Which would be handy for jobs/college. Tomorrow I have an orthodontist appointment, hopefully my elastics will be gone but I can only dream can't I?

DAY 34:

Well it's officially the 5 week mark! 5 weeks ago I was under surgery? that's just mental. Anyway I will be posting another post about my day as I had my last post op appointment today until I see my orthodontist again in October...now that is ages away lol. Unless of course I have any issues or then I can visit him sooner. So I had a horrible night's sleep the night before coming onto the morning of day 34. I tried to get to sleep about 10:30 pm as I needed to be awake very early as I had an appointment at 9:15 am. I took a while but eventually fell asleep and as I was going to sleep I all of a sudden developed a sore throat on the right side of my throat :| HA just what I need isn't it? And I thought it would go by the morning but NOPE. I woke up at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep till 3:30 am and then woke up again at 5:30 am and I took 20 ml of liquid paracetamol to see if that would ease it off. I went in the toilet to see if I could see any redness or signs of tonsillitis and there was nothing there so it was very odd. In the morning, the pain wasn't gone which was the last thing I wanted. My mum gave me a throat sweet and that worked for a short period and then I had to go and throughout the day I have taken more but it's just so sore to swallow on just one side? It's not agonising/horrible pain but I cringe when I have to swallow because it hurts. Now it's time to start week 6!
