So.... where to begin?
Well, Monday morning I got up bright and early, and went to Brampton Civic where I checked in for jaw surgery. I was having my upper jaw moved forward, my lower jaw moved back, and my chin re-aligned to ensure that my mouth would continue to function. After I spent two days in hospital, and came home yesterday, things have been interesting. My mouth is still incredibly numb, which makes it very difficult to take down any liquids (and I'm not allowed to eat solids). To get better though, I'm supposed to be drinking lots. You can see the obviously frustrating paradox. I also have little control of my drool, and am constantly dribbling on myself. Thankfully, my parents and Danielle have been around taking care of me, and my Aunt is coming by tomorrow.
As you might imagine, this process is extremely frustrating, and not the least of my frustrations is my relative inability to speak. Hence, I've decided to start this blog, where I can have slightly freer reign to speak as I recover. Hope anyone who is interested might give it a read now and again.
