Week 6!

DAY 35:

Week 6 is here! In two weeks it will be the two month mark! So yeah on day 35 I had my last orthodontist appointment and when I came home it was around the afternoon, the day before when I was in town I had seen an old friend and my other mate texted me and asked me to come and meet them which meant seeing two new faces too see the new me...to be honest they didn't really react when they saw me which is sad because I like getting the big shock reaction because it feels like they actually notice it. Oh well I can't help what they can and cannot notice. So yeah, I remember reading a recovery timeline telling me to go easy even after the 1 month mark...and now I can see why. My gosh, I walked around so much and then chilled at a friend's house and I was just knackered and felt quite sick to be honest, I just worn myself out. Also my throat was still killing so much so my mum gave me paracetamol and half way through eating a pot noodle...I stopped feeling pain! Although I knew it was temporary, it was such a good feeling. I then made a doctors appointment and had to wait two more days aghhhh!!!

DAY 36:

I just could hardly sleep, it was rather depressing. I kept waking up in the night because my throat was so sore to swallow. But on day 36 I was seeing Kerri and Kelsey and had to go Kerri's house, I was still weak from the day before and wasn't feeling great but I was determined to see them. I ended up getting a taxi to Kerri's even though it's a ten minute walk because I just knew that I wouldn't make it if I was to walk. It was a fun but painful day and I sat funny so then I got this awful pain at the back of my neck near the top agh!

DAY 37:

Terrible sleep again...this sore throat is doing my nut in! I had to get up early anyway as I have my doctors appointment but I also was going London to watch a West End show and going for dinner, was meant to go at 1:30 to go around Covent Garden but I just said I couldn't do it because I will be so knackered by the time it's for the show and I just won't enjoy it as much as I would want too. So I felt very nauseous in the morning, I thought I was going to be sick, then when I was waiting at the doctors, I felt nauseous again and I was given Ibuprofen, Penicillin and Paracetamol. I have to take the penicillin till the course is done which is Wednesday (day 39). I felt a lot better after taking all that medicine and I have to take the penicillin after I eat and take one, three times a day. I still went London but we went in the evening and I felt nauseous after my meal again which was bad but then I felt a lot better after and I enjoyed the show but then after I felt very tired and poorly.

DAY 38:

I got woken up early by my sister which wasn't the best feeling! But oh well, I guess it can't be helped sometimes. I felt a lot better on day 38, my sore throat pain had practically gone but I still have to take the penicillin till the course is finished unless I am told to stop otherwise. I didn't do much at all to be honest, I did some theory revision and just relaxed. My boyfriend stayed the night and I was really tired so we went sleep pretty early.

DAY 40:

I FINALLY GOT A LAY IN!!! I woke up at 11 am and I felt a lot better. It was Saturday and in the evening I had a charity event to go to for a dear friend of mine who's mum passed away and it was near her 50th birthday! So during the day, I did theory revision and read books and that was about it, just the usual to be honest! & then I went to the charity event and the two daughters hosting the event hadn't seen me for a while especially one of them and they said it's crazy how different I look! & the dad said my hair was different which I hadn't changed but haha it was the fact I had jaw surgery. Then a close family friend who everyone in the family had seen me except her, finally saw me and got in a right state bless her! It was a really good night and then I went home and got too sleep.

DAY 41:

My sleep wasn't too bad again, I did some theory revision & then me and my boyfriend had to go into the town for him to pick up some shirts for work and we booked tickets to go to the IMAX cinema and too see the new film PIXELS! It was actually a really good film! It was so clever how they did it and we had a really good time and then I went home and just did some reading before I went to bed.

DAY 42:

I got called up and got offered a job interview for this week, my second job interview I have been offered this week, ah I feel blessed! I also had a driving lesson which was my worst lesson as I was taken in very closed/small roads and lots of closed junctions...just wasn't that nice to be honest, but I either learn it now or dread it when I pass. Then I met my dad at matalan to help me with clothes for the interview. I settled with a white blouse with black butterflies on them, smart skinny black trousers and shiny black loafers! I now feel smart and prepped for this interview! Tomorrow will be my six week mark!!! CRAZY!

DAY 43:

Officially the six week mark! Only two more weeks then it has been two months since I underwent my double jaw surgery! I woke up around 9ish and wanted to sleep more but I woke up feeling very awake and not sleepy enough to get back to sleep. Day 43 was boring, a friend came round which was really good too see her but I didn't do much. My swelling really has gone down, my mum and my sister say they don't think that there is anymore swelling to go down because it doesn't look it, but I can feel it and I am still puffy around my cheeks, but my surgeon said I would be more puffy in the cheeks naturally as well because my top jaw has been bought forwards so it fills out my face a lot more. I do not feel much pain now except when I yawn or I open my mouth too wide. I have one more day to complete the course for my penicillin for my throat infection and then I'm free LOL! I stopped taken ibuprofen because I ran out of the amounts that were given to me so I didn't bother getting anymore as they had done there job of getting rid of the pain. Now let's start week 7!
