Pictures of my scary face

Brace yourself - they're pretty ugly!

Monday - before going to the oral surgeons office for the first time.

Tuesday morning, this is the "improvement" picture.

Tuesday night - not so much improvment anymore.

Wednesday. If you cover up the normal half of my face my head is the same shape as Frankensteins Monster. Awesome.

Thursday. Yes, I am wearing the same shirt (and bra) as in the Wednesday picture. Shut up about it.

Friday. My neck is smaller, even if my face isn't.

Saturday, doing better...

and if I cover up the big lump, I almost look normal!

Sunday. My pity-party day. Can't tell from my expression, can you? lol

No picture from last night, I forgot. Tonight I'll take one and add it tomorrow.
My chin and lower lip are still numb, but I'm feeling much better overall. I'm still hungry, but I'm finding more and more things that will fit into a 1/2 inch opening...unfortunately. For instance - Reeses Peanut Butter cups are damn near perfect.

And here's last night (Tuesday.) Much better, obviously, but to me it's still very noticeable, and it's still painful. Still, progress is good!

Oh Mandy dear!! That sounds excrutiating... I hope you are feeling better. What an ordeal.

That's really sucky that you need a bridge now. They are super expensive. :(

Oh my poor little Mandy--and Matt! Things have to pick up for both of you. Mandy, will you PLEASE now start going to the dentist--maintenance is much easier!!! Love you!
