April 2, 2014. I Didn’t Disappear – I Swear! I’m so sorry for the silence! I’ve been so incredibly swamped with work this past week that I haven’t had time to sit down and blog OR I just had to avoid the internet at all cost in my down times in order to avoid more work emails! I’m going to try and post a Week 5 (that’s just crazy! Update in the next couple of days! Hang in there everyone! I have seen your updates and you are all looking INCREDIBLE! Day 25 – I LOVE Progress! April 7, 2014 at 8:50 pm.

So… About Those Jaw Exercises… | BraceForIt
https://braceforit.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/so-about-those-jaw-exercises
April 10, 2014. So… About Those Jaw Exercises…. Remember when I admitted that my surgeon’s millimetre expectations were causing me a certain level of anxiety? Apparently…that was justified! Fast forward again to my appointment. My surgeon approaches with his trusty ruler and WHAT? I was only measuring 20 mm! I was about to walk out with my head hung in shame when I said, ‘Look, please hand me those tongue depressors! I’ll prove it! 8217; I piled them up, shoved them in my mouth and BOOM! Oh but wait....

April 10, 2014. Day 30 – Before and After (Exciting Changes! FINALLY, I have a few minutes to breathe, rest, and check in with everyone! I’m officially back to myself from a work perspective…so in classic style, it has taken over my life! I’ve spent the remainder of each day resting up from pure mental exhaustion (and a little joint pain from my jaw stretching exercises). It’s hard to believe it’s been an entire month since surgery. Time is FLYING! I Didn’t Disappear – I Swear! Day 31 – I Can Chew! I can...

Day 37 – I LOVE MY FACE!! | BraceForIt
https://braceforit.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/day-37-i-love-my-face
April 10, 2014. Day 37 – I LOVE MY FACE! So much so, that I treated my new face to a new ‘do’ 🙂. I’m amazed at how much change has occurred in the last week from minor loses in swelling! My chin is evening out, my cheek bones are becoming more pronounced and I can’t help but stare all the time when I catch myself with my lips shut. It’s still such a foreign concept for me but one that I am incredibly delighted in. So… About Those Jaw Exercises…. Day 42 – Slow and Steady →. April 13, 2014 at 4:53 am.

February 26, 2014. Nine hours to go! Made it through a full day of back and forth ortho/dental appointments and the final hours at work! Enjoyed a massive and delicious beef burger and home cut fries with the fam for my ‘last chewable meal’. Hoping to get in a few decent hours of sleep if I can get my mind to rest. Here goes! Ready to jump in with both feet and get this over with! I’m ready for Kim 2.0 😉. February 25, 2014. One More Day – Is This Really Happening? Keep me posted 🙂. February 23, 2014.

April 10, 2014. Day 42 – Slow and Steady. Changes have started to slow down quite a bit now. I understand why many bloggers start to ‘drift’ or disappear around this point. BUT, since my orthodontist says that what you see at month one, versus, month two, three and four are often quite different….I’ll stick around 😉. I also need to work on how I open my mouth. My bottom jaw seems to have a tendency of opening slightly off centred. One day at a time! April 10, 2014. Day 37 – I LOVE MY FACE! Prior to surg...

March 24, 2014. Day 25 – I LOVE Progress! Happy Monday, everyone! It’s another lovely, sunny but FREEZING COLD day as we await March to go out like a Lion with a massive Blizzard warning for Wednesday :-l You know it’s bad when I’ve already starting planning our next trip to the Med in the fall! Greatest accomplishment since my last post – I’m getting CHEEKBONES! Who knew something like that would give me so much satisfaction? One week to go and 6 more mm to go. I.CAN.DO.THIS!

Day 31 – I Can Chew! | BraceForIt
https://braceforit.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/day-31-i-can-chew
April 10, 2014. Day 31 – I Can Chew! After another follow up appointment with my surgeon, I have been given the green light to chew ANYTHING! Granted, that last word is used loosely as I quickly found out that this whole chewing gig is going to take some practice haha. I started slowly with some delicious fruit and yogurt. I learned quickly that even that was somewhat challenging because….most of my molars are still numb! Day 30 – Before and After (Exciting Changes! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Jaw Surger...
