Day of Appts.

I saw the oral surgeon today for my 3 month post op check up. I was happy I was going because 2 days ago 1 one of my lymph nodes got really swollen and the right side of my bottom jaws hurts a lot. He said everything was fine and if the pain persist to see my primary dr. since they didn't do any work to the bottom jaw. He really brushed it off. I made an appt in the afternoon to see my primary dr. and at 8:30pm I was in having a full face/neck CT with contrast. Of course getting an IV in was a whole other story. I won't know the results till tomorrow but the dr. was concerned with the amount of tenderness with both the bottom jaw and the lymph node. I'll update as soon as I know more. Right now I'm just tired and frustrated!

Just shy of 3 months post op

2 days Post Op

Before Surgery

Orthodontist

I saw my orthodontist today and got the best news yet! The braces are coming off!!!!!!!!! My orthognathic surgery was done on May 15th and on September 5th the braces will start to come off by September 12th they will be completely off. I am just so happy. We are way ahead of plan since originally the braces were due to be on till December. It's nice to have something work in the positive sense!

Cardiologist

I had a heart monitor put on today for 24 hours. Ever since the surgery my heart rate has not come down under 100. They put me on a beta blocker but it doesn't seem to have helped. I'm hoping that this gets under control quickly as it is awful to lie in bed at night and feel nothing but your heart racing!

Orthodontist Visit

I saw the orthodontist for the first time since the two surgeries. Great news! She thinks everything looks terrific and she couldn't be happier. Usually the braces would be on for 6 months after the surgery but due to how great things came out she said that the braces would be off in about 3 months. Ya hoo!
