24 days until surgery!! I can't believe it's coming up so quickly! I am ready to just get it over with. I'm doing everything I can to prepare, while still not freak myself out too much. I already had my pre surgery consultation with my surgeon in Bend, Or. (5 hours from home, ugh!) It went pretty well, but really gave me a reality check that this isn't going to be a very easy surgery. They basically have to redo everything from my eyes down to make everything fit perfect. The surgery is expected to be seven hours long! Ugh! I'm excited to see how I turn out. I will have two surgeons doing the procedure: an oral surgeon and a plastic surgeon. So I think I'll be in pretty good hands.
I've started picking out liquid foods I want to eat after my surgery. My mom bought this cook book with all kinds of post oral surgery recipes...including blended lasagna and hamburgers. SICK! I think I'll stick with smoothies and milkshakes. Everyone I've heard of getthing this has said they've gotten pretty sick of smoothies and whatnot after only a couple days and started blending dinners...probabbblyyy won't happy, but we'll see haha.
I;ve been working out as much as possible lately (better in shape means quicker recovery sometimes) and eating lots of protein rich foods. I don't know how I'll survive without steak and potatoes for 6+ weeks. So I've been eating what I want while I can...especially since by the time I'll be able to eat again, I'll be back at school. No more home cooked meals:(
Anyways, that's just some ranting about how I've prepared so far. Better get more serious as the big day gets closer!
