I was too tired to post yesterday -- I don't know what's wrong with me but I have had the worst headache! Starting yesterday I began with a splitting headache -- at first I attributed it to lack of eating and drinking/caffeine, but then I started to think that I might have sinus infection. Touching anywhere on my head or sinuses was excruciating -- it was like a sandbag was resting on top of my head and face. If this is what a sinus infection REALLY feels like, I have never had one before in my life! Since I'd finished the Keflex that I was prescribed, I fished some old Augmentin out of the linen closet (I know, bad doctor not finishing all of her antibiotics) and figured it couldn't hurt to take "just in case it helped". The alternative is that there was something really wrong in my brain. I've just finished the 3rd dose and have essentially slept (Vicodin helped) for the last 36 hours. I'm hoping that I'll wake up tomorrow feeling better...
My swelling is getting better every day, and talking is happening more, though it's still very garbled. In my head, my speech sounds very nasally and I sound like I have a pretty serious speech impediment. Hopefully this is not my new voice. Swallowing is not as painful now which makes getting in calories much easier.
On a good note, I took my almost 9 year old daughter, Lauren, to the orthodontist today for a "checkup". These days it's recommended that kids be seen around the age of 7 because there are lots of things that they can do early to help prevent trouble in the teenage years or later. According to Dr. White, Lauren will need a little expansion on the top and bottom, but none of her problems are serious enough to warrant doing anything now, and that she'll just need one phase of treatment around age 11-12. This is good news on the financial front. :)

On my post surgery day 6 I also took my daughter with me to the ortho and she got checked. SHe is 4 and I was told she needs to have an expander by the time she is 7. SHe has a wicked cross bite and is gonna end up just like me if she does not start early.
