My Surgery: The Aftermath
Hey all! Well my surgery well. It took about three hours and I was in a lot of pain afterwards. The first few days in the hospital wasn't much fun and I had a few rough days when I got back home but I'm feeling pretty good right now!
My jaw is rubber banded together so I can only drink liquids with a syringe. It's really hard to find stuff that tastes good blended down so right now I'm living off of soup, pudding and milkshakes... yea! lol! Well sort of. My jaw will probably be banded shut for about 6 weeks which is a long time.
I can't stand up for long periods of time either and won't be able to participate in my Tae Kwon Do class again for about 2 months. It's going to be a long recovery.
Thanks so much for the messages of encouragement and the prayers, they mean a lot! I'll try to visit some of your blogs within the next few days!

Hi Jo,
I am so sorry I haven't visited your blog in awhile, but I am getting back into the habit of visiting my friend's blogs every week!
The surgery sounds extremely painful. Ouch, I hope that I will never have to go threw any surgery especially a surgery on my face, but I guess if it had to be done then I would reluctantly go along with it. I am glad that you are healing and that you made it threw the surgery well!
I hope you had a good New Year's Eve and I hope that you will feel a lot better soon!
~Makayla~
P.S. I LOVE your template it is awesome!

I'm glad your surgery went well. When I had my biopsy done, I woke up to a nurse calling my name and stroking my face. I didn't want to wake up, that was like the best sleep I had in ages. lol. I began to cough so she fetched me an ice block.
My Christmas went really well. I loved it. as usual. Lol.

My friends' mom had that done a few years ago--we made her some potato leak soup. =)
Praying for a quick and 'as-little-pain-possible' recovery~

Oh thank you so much!! I'm so happy! I was so worried my whole blog would be ruined! I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU....HTML MASTER!!!!!!!
Thanks again!
Ouch! Your Sergury sounds bad! It makes me cringe to think about it. I hope it get's better soon. Dad said I am going to have to get braces because two of my teeth didn't come out for a long time and the teeth behind them has already grown in behind them. So I finally just got them out and now those two teeth are side ways. I'm only going to have to get braces on the top though! I like your template!
You don't mind if I take some icons from your blog? Do you?
Thanks again.
Your Friend,
Felicity :)

Oh my gosh! It's been quite a long time since I've been over to yuor blog, to leave a comment. I wasn't even sure if we were friends, anymore. I knew that we were friends when I had my blog CrazyAboutMonkeys, but I didn't know that we were friends again.
Sorry that I haven't been here in a while. I hope that you still are blogging, though it looks like it's been a while since you have.
Anyway..if you still are blogging, be sure to come by my blog, because I'd really like to get in touch again!
