I'm scheduled to get jaw surgery on Sept 20 at 8:30am. I'm getting my upper jaw removed from my face, heh, and moved forward a bit, screwed with titanium plates. The lower jaw, I'm getting bone removed from the back of each part of the jaw and it's getting moved back. Plates, screws, and I am wired shut with my braces. AAAH. A month - they told me rubberbanded for two weeks but now it's wired shut a month. Liquid diet for a month. Now most people owuld be thrilled to lose 10-20lbs like I will be, but I'm only 4'11" and like 95lbs!!!!! I'm so scared about the AFTERMATH of the surgery, how I'll deal with it all, and so on... my dad and stepmom are not very comforting, and my mom is coming down from Northern CA t be with me but only for a week or two. My boyfriend works full time but is taking some time off to be with me, but...aaarg. I wasn't scared about it until we finally got all this moving...now it's terrifying...
