You look nice....younger. I'm sure you'll look even better once the swelling goes down!
Glad to hear you're not suffering as much, either.

Still a LONG way to go... Its very hard to sleep, very hard to get comfortable with so many sore spots, still literally a MAJOR headache.... The Ibuprofen helps, Im off the Oxycodone now Also all the stitches in my mouth along my lower gum line SUCK, they are self dissolving stitches and they are getting thinner but still very annoying... Every time I eat something (that HURTS to just to chew anything ) they get all clogged up with food and its a literal pain to get it all out, I have some nasty tasting prescription mouthwash I use after eating... Its weird brushing my teeth too because Im NUMB in some spots....
Oh well at least it cant get worse from here I hope....

I'm sure you wouldn't want it 3 times a day but, maybe you should have soup for a while. I know soup by itself isn't very filling, but, I usually toss in LOTS of crackers with each bowl. Premium saltines (white box, blue print) are best, Zestas, I think they're called (red box, white print) turn to paste!! Also, until your healing is done and you can eat normal food again, you should actually eat baby food.
Are you going to get your bottom half done some day? From what I'm told, you'll HAVE to lay around in bed all day for a while with lots of ice between your legs!!

Thanks Sarah Im hoping so... Maybe getting some of those post surgical blues I hear about... The swelling better go down and I better look better after going through with all this
Im trying to remain optimistic but right now I cant stand how HUGE my jaw and lips are, everything else is gtreat though so I hope it looks good when its all healed up... its WEIRD now looking at older pics thinking I looked better Either way they are ALL as of now useless to me and that includes my DL and passport.... Gonna have to change those again eventually
Its done

Soup is good but the crackers are just the kind of thing (really anything) that gets stuck in the stitches Oh well they are starting fall out one by one so they should be gone soon...

I really think thats just the swelling Eva. Your jaw will eventually look smaller and less square than it was. You know this. About the lips, I don't think they are all that giant.
Then again, I have big ones and am biased lol.
Good luck with healing up! Don't overdo it!

You need a note from your doctor for SRS?
Hmm. With Chet, it's just one from a psychologist/psychiatrist and one from a gender therapist.
I guess Thai law is different.

Then just eat that in spoonfuls and you can just suck it right down without it ever touching your teeth/gums. Second bowl, same thing, third bowl, same thing, but add the noodles into it, too. Because of all the crackers, you'll be good & stuffed by the time you're done!
