Day 1

18/6/07


Monday was the day of my surgery, i was terrified and almost didnt go through with it. I had a pre med which helped as it calmed me down while falling off to sleep. I think the operation took about 2 hours. I remember waking up and hearing voices all around me but apparently then went on to sleep for another 2 hours! The first day i dont remember any pain because off all the drugs. I was very swollen but luckily my mum coverd my face in ARNICA as soon as i woke up to avoid getting bruises, i highley recomend it! I was sicking up blood most of that day which is ment to be normal as well as nose bleeds

intro

Hiya my names cornelia Im 17 and From The Uk. Ive had braces for 2 years and a week ago i have maxilofacial jaw surgery. I Have an overbite as well as an open and both jaws were broken and repositioned.

Im guna have alot of freee time in the next few weeks! so decided i might aswell create a blog about my journey through the surgery from the first day and each day as they go, i found readying other people's blogs on this surgery really useful and comforting knowing others are going through the same experiences.

Ill post more in a while! xx
