Day 16 - Obeying doctors commands... NOT

I thought I would bless you with the first side profile today, this was taken before I had elastics put on so therefore they are hoping to bring my lower jaw forward a tad more. Also look at the size of that nose... I know I am becoming obsessed with it but when you have put yourself through this much agony to look better you do not want to be left with a humongous imposing blob on your face! 

Well today I did not follow the doctors orders... after having a difficult and painful night with these elastics I decided that I deserved a day off as I was helping a friend out as well and seeing as it is near impossible to talk with them in I was more then happy to leave them behind/ However I have now eaten dinner... cheers Angela for yummy leftover spaghetti bolognese, liquidised down a but more with gravy served on a bed of carrot and suede mash was delicious, had two portions not good for my expanding waistline but anything enjoyable at the moment is a bonus. 

So I have put the elastics back on and promise to wear them now, although have tried some of the thinner ones which my consultant did say I could if the thick ones are too painful and owwwww still no improvement. Hate how I can't talk, can't eat and drool loads with them in. But I keep telling myself the long-term benefits will out weigh the short term pain. And as a kind friend text me saying:

'No Pain, No Gain' 

Thank you to everyone who is reading this insane blog I am sure with hindsight I will laugh at my pain and my experience but for now will continue to dwell in my sorrow. Also note I do not mind people eating around me but when my house mate walks in with a delicious plate of chicken and veg, where just the smell is making me salivate I will not be accountable for any actions I may take.
