Celebrating 8 years post jaw surgery!

149E9870-E085-4AE5-A51B-EDF08324CCD8Well, my friends, it’s been 3 years since my last celebratory post and I just wanted to check in with y’all!
I’m still kickin and rocking the post jaw surgery world.
I still don’t have any regrets having had the surgery – despite it being one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through in my life.
My mom will always remember this day too because she became my de facto nurse for the next month or so. I couldn’t have done it without her. So much love. I’ve had people reach out to me about my experiences and I am always very honest. It was painful, excruciating at times, and a long and lonely journey. But it led to a relatively pain free life and a jaw bite that is functional and a smile and profile that I really love.
So, happy 8 year jaw surgery anniversary to me!
