Why do this?

I know the dates are going to be a bit skewed on this because I have not been well enough to write until not so apologies for that.

So I am about to go into surgery tomorrow and a lot of people (friends and strangers) have asked me why on earth am I doing this? Well hopefully those who know me it is obvious.... I have a massive overbite and a gummy smile so always knew to correct this I would have to have orthognathic surgery.

I have endured a year of braces, missed out on some of my favourite foods such as celery, apples, marshmellows etc and cannot wait for the day I am all fixed and braces come off.

This is a photo of me pre-surgery (one of the better ones) with braces. As you could probably tell I hate photo's of myself so therefore pre-op there are not many.


Plan for today/tonight

• To eat, eat, eat, eat and yes more eating. 
• Pack my bag for hospital
• Prepare my hands with numbing cream (as the part I find scariest out of this grusome op is having the cannula put in my hand!)
• Set alarm for 6am as have to be at hospital for half 6!!!
