What to Expect

This is the diary I have decided to create, dedicated to the time I have spent with my jaws wired shut.
On the 23rd of February I went into the operating theatre for a jaw-reconstruction. They were to break my bottom and top jaws and re-position them.
This is a re-count of the events leading up to and in the hospital after the operation.

Drabble

This is a drabble that I wrote before I left to Adelaide.
-
I’m having a jaw re-construction. The way Dr. Hearn (my surgeon) described it is that I have the jaw models of two completely different people. Here’s a picture of me. It was taken on the 29th of December 2005… I was 13.

I'm on the left.
-
Do you notice the buck teeth? Yeah, well that is before my braces... but still, this is how I began.
I've always had buck teeth, even as a baby.
-
Ok, I’ll admit it. After I was issued with plates and braces my overbite improved immensely. but my top lip still looks like a ski slope... That is why I am getting this operation.
-
Also, if I don’t, my teeth will go back to how they were and all the money paid for plates and braces will have been wasted. I guess it’s sort of a: “you’ve dug the hole half way to China, there’s no way you’re getting back out the way you came so you my as well keep digging” type of thing...
-
So welcome to my diary! I hope you find my dry sarcasm uncanny, my disgustingly toothy pictures entertaining. My bloated post-operation pictures scary, my metaphors tolerable and my entries understandable... and I hope you enjoy this diary o’ mine.
