ONE WEEKISH

I'm all about making it better for the next victim. I gave this list to my surgeon at my one-week checkup. Bruising going down my chest. Doc says this is normal. Okeydokey, doc. If you haven't tried mashed cauliflower, try it, you might like it! A few days after surgery. I'm just glad I can see. My skin is shiny because I am slathering on the Traumeel lotion and gel mentioned under Solutions tab. 3rd day, maybe? Eyes still pretty puffy looking, Traumeel gel just reapplied. Frozen eye mask seemed good, not so much in real life. Didn't stay cold long enough. I did better with bags of frozen peas. Kept putting on Traumeel gel and lotion. Should buy stock in that company.

6 MONTHS

At the 4 month post-op mark, I redid my overnight sleep study. No more Sleep Apnea for meeee! (I already knew it, just needed the official results for record keeping.) Also, no more diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic inflammatory pain, and exhaustion. Lost 70 lbs in the process. Here I am. 6 months post-op double jaw surgery. My life is forever changed, and I am forever grateful. At my final 6 month appt., I gave my orthodontist office a cookie spread (the very finest from Franz bakery, found in your local grocery store) and paper flowers because I think they are cool. I did the same for my jaw surgeon's office. Of course, I wrote heart-felt thank you notes too, but you and I both know the most important part is the treats. What both offices requested is Google and Yelp online reviews, which I did. Easy, yet important because I read all of them while researching for my procedures. Nowadays online reviews are everything. But cookies count, too because we are humans...

LYMPH DRAINAGE

I can mostly close my mouth! The doc wants me to start facial exercises and massaging my face to work out the swollen tissue. I'm using this gadget to get the job done: Amazon.com: BLHLA Gua Sha Facial Tools for Skin Care Massage Tools for Self Care Jade Body Gua Sha Stone Spa Kit Face Sculpting Tool for Beauty Puffiness Reduction Muscle Tension Relief Jawline Sculptor : Beauty & Personal Care I run the stone downwards, sweeping from my forehead down my throat. I'm also walking at least twice a day for 20 minutes to get my lymphatic system moving. Getting swelling down means helping lymphatic tissue to give up water, and that happens by breathing and moving.
