I love cyndel, and her house, and her computer...

She probably doesn't read my blog... but I love her anyway:)

Anyway, I haven't written on my blog in a while... since my surgery! It's been a little over a month now, and I'm doing GREAT!!! I'm feeling awesome and most of the initial healing is over. I had the stitches on the on my jaw (outside close to my sideburns) removed the tuesday after surgery, and have been visiting with my ortho and surgeon practically weekly. Most of the feeling is back. JACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!!!! (the joey... of the group) Having the feeling come back was actually completely miserable. It doesn't hurt, and it isn't itching, but it's almost.... bubbly. If you've ever popped a nerve you know what I mean.... I tried almost everything to help with sleeping and the irritation, even to the point of popping the actual razor off of my razor (which vibrates) and holding onto my jaw to itch the nerve.... it was horrible. I lost a good 20 pounds in the first 3 weeks, and have luckily kept most of it off. I think I look much more healthy now, but some people have been telling me I look anorexic, but I love it!!!

Happily I will get my braces of in about 6 months. I'm really excited to see the actual finished product when I have all the feeling back and have my pretty white teeth:) It'll be awesome!!! overall life is great and the surgery was a HUGE success!!!!

I just want to take a minute to say, I love my friends. They are the thing that makes me smile every day. Whether it's the people I see everyday, my co-workers, or the friends that I almost never see, but show up at chili's and say hi. I love everyone. I want them all to know that they make my world go round and I couldn't be happier to be part of each one of their lives.
