http://myawfulopenbite.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Thursday, September 20, 2012. 8 Weeks Post Op. Having said all that, this still was the most difficult thing that I have ever gone through.let's not take that away from surgery! I still struggle with puffiness, a little ache every now and then, difficulty chewing/eating, and the top of my mouth and gums are still 100% numb. I never said it's been fun. But I've moved into the acceptance phase and it feels pretty good. Really good actually. 1 The Jaw bra. h...

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery: February 2013
http://myawfulopenbite.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. March 12th my braces will be coming off! I am so excited that I already scheduled a cleaning and whitening for the very next day :). I also don't have to wear that palate retainer anymore, which is good and bad. The feeling is still working itself back to the roof of my mouth and when food touches that area it's just plain weird. The retainer helped to avoid that weirdness, but I am ready to try life without it. 3 Years Post Double ...

http://becomingariela.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Cherishing the woman I was made to be. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Pain Level: 0 -. Not that I can really remember. Still there, people say it's going down. Terrible. Slept at around 3am. A few of my teeth feel a little weird. I've been having a few fainting spells. And I've also recently been RAVENOUS for food. Today marked the day when my appetite totally went out of control! I was constantly hungry and just couldn't think of anything else except food and hunger! But I'm a little too tired tonight and all...

Becoming Ariela: August 2014
http://becomingariela.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Cherishing the woman I was made to be. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Day 72: Just walking through life. Been in a very much reflective mood recently. The stress of work and life has been getting to me, and it's not very healthy. Part of me feels like I've lost myself somewhere these past five years - with entering the business, losing one of my best friends, the big break up, depression, surgeries, issues with work. it's just been a bit too much for me I think. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Pain Level: 1 -.
