Elishia the Chipmunk!!!



just posting pics. i'll update later. Pretty swollem and doped up.  Surgery took approx 5 hours. Didn't even need the chin implant as my lower jaw came forwar 10mm,. That's one FULL cm.  I also went up 5mm on top and out 2mm. Can't wait for swelling to go down and blood clots out of nose. But doimg "okay" XOXO. Of course the one's w/ less swellimg is right after surgery. The other two are from today. Gotta get  back to bed!zzzzz

So glad you are doing well. Amazing how great you look right after surgery. Wonderful that you didn't need the chin implant, fingers crossed that will save you a little bit of money! Hopefully the swelling will go down just as quick as it came on! Hang in there cupcake!

Prayers for a QUICK recovery for you!

Yeah girl! You did it! Praying that your recovery will be quick. Look at your cute little nose. So happy for you to have the surgery behind you. The first few days you'll find it hard to breathe, but get a humidifier, use your nose spray and just try to relax. xoxo, June

Thanks guys! It's still very difficult. Harder than I actually thought it would be. I came home last night and slept well. My parents are keeping the kids for two more night so I hope to get better and less swollen. We go to see the Dr. this morning. Some people say they don't need their pain meds but if I don't have them every 4 hours my muscles in my face start to spasm. I was so nervous. Dr. said it won't hurt anything but it's a freaky feeling. I usually have a high tolerance for pain so this makes me mad! :)
