a year ago

Friday May 5th 2006,

It has been a year since my upper jaw surgery, major nose reconstruction,cheek bone and bone graft surgery. I clearly remember the days running up to surgery I had mixed emotions, I coudln't wait to get the surgery over and done with and to see the end result but I was also facing tha biggest surgery of my life.

My recovery didn't go to plan and I encountered several complications down the line even at 12 months post-op. I still have a few more surgeries ahead of me but now i'm 12 months post-op we can go ahead and schedule the next surgery.

the next surgery will probably be surgery to fix my dents as they look really bad now and my speech. I can't wait to be able to read a story for the kids at work during story time and not feel embarrassed about my speech.

Despite all I have been through I would do the surgery all over again if I had to.
