Its officially been 2 months!

Today is officially the 2 month mark since the surgery. Looking back I cannot believe how far I have come in just 60 days! I'm still on a soft food diet and I'm not 100 percent back to my regular work schedule but I have been walking on the treadmill, working full 10 hour days, and I've started wearing heels again! There are still parts of my face and mouth where I do not have 100 percent feeling but I'm confident that most of it will come back. I can tell that there is a lot of scar tissue in my upper jaw area that I need to try to break through. Talking, chewing and doing some mouth exercises will help to break that up and return to normal. To fully heal from this surgery takes a year, although after 3 months the healing is slower and not as noticeable. If I were to go back in time, I would do the exact same thing I did and have the surgery all over again. The first few weeks were very hard but it has been worth it. I can breath better, swallow better, my bite is better, and I have not had a headache since the surgery. As someone who had migraines daily, that fact alone made this surgery worth it. I'm shocked by how many people I've talked to either know someone who had the surgery or know someone who were told they needed the surgery. I've been very lucky to have a wonderful support system around me to help me through this very difficult recovery. I don't think I would be healing as well as I am if I didn't have so many people supporting me. So, thank you everyone!!! Until the next post 🙂
