Hey guys! So this is the first time I've ever blogged, and I think it's about a huggeee event coming up. Jaw Surgery! I have an underbite (lower jaw is longer than upper jaw) and will be getting both jaws moved. My date is August 12th at Shriner's Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. It's coming up quick and I'm getting super nervous!!
A little about myself:
I am a nineteen year old college student from Washington. I will be a sophomore at Central Washington University in the fall, majoring in Family and Consumer Science Education. I decided to do this blog after I saw how many other people going through this surgery did them. I thought they were soooo helpful! Hopefully mine will help someone else who is in the pre stages of this surgery. I have been prepping for this surgery for yearsss. I was suppose to have it last summer (same date and all) but I got strep throat and wasn't able to go through with it. That means I've had braces on for a few years now for it (grrr) and am ready to get this all over with! I'm pretty scared for it, but I have been wanting it for so many years, I can't back out now. The only thing I'm really worried about is recovery. I have to move back to school on September 3rd, only a few weeks after the surgery! Eek!
Anyways, I am enjoying my last couple weeks of pre surgery. Getting in as many solid foods as possible before the strict liquid diet. I will keep this updated, as well as read others stories as well!
