Day 31...

Holy Cow!? Day 31! Sorry I went AWOL for a few days. My best friend just got home from Honduras and I have been with her and awaiting her arrival- ha. So I figure I might as well open with some update pictures...

Here is a SUPER SUPER big smile. :) ha. Just for you guys...


And here is my profile...


So my swelling has started coming down a little more. I have more definition in my cheeks, and I can smile much bigger than before... I am opening wider too... check it out- this is the difference since last week... (yes, they are awkward, but what else am I to do? ha)...


I am just so tired of this no-chew diet! AHHHH! I want food- legit food, with texture. This splint is also driving me insane- It is giving me a lisp and making my words unclear sometimes. It also gets food stuck in it! EW. ha.

So I have been told that my lips look more "volumptious" (thanks Wes), and that my eyes stand out more- and I look so pretty (Why thanks Mrs. Cari!), Oh, and well- Basically "YOU LOOK BETTER!" ha. Even if not everyone comes out and tells me I look better they all hint around by giving me these cute little compliments (which totally make my day).

So to sorta answer Sarah's question:

Yes I do drink out of straw- I don't know if I am suppose to. I do it when we are out so that I don't dump it on myself. Ha. Its gotten quite easy, but I guess if your doc told you not to don't that could lead to issues (which I am sure you don't want to risk hahaha)... Oh, and about exercise!!! AHHHH! yes. I miss it. But soon. Soon I can work out hard core, but until then I am forced to lift dinky weights (10 pounds, come ON! ha) and do squats and such- OH and walk... obviously. ;)

So I hope I helped- though I doubt I did. ;)

Are there any questions?!

Love, Makay

  2. Hi Makay!
    What a super smile you have! Your blog is very helpful, not only for great information, but also for a shot in the arm of inspiration! Can you explain this splint situation? Can you take it out every night to clean (I get the impression you can't). How is it held in?
    What say you?

  3. My mom got surgery not too long ago and had to be on a liquid diet, so I bet a no-chew diet is similar. I know it's hard!
