8 weeks post surgery!

I know I haven't really update this in a while but I thought that 8 weeks after surgery would be a good time to post something.

Everything is going really well and the 8 weeks have flown by! Most of my swelling has gone down now and I do feel a lot more normal and back to my old self. There is, however, a bit of swelling around my top lip and nose. I think I read somewhere that most, if not all, of the swelling will go down after 3 months. So only 4 more weeks to go!

I can now eat everything but I still have to be careful with hard and crunchy food. I have been able to go the the gym everyday in the past 4 weeks now and so, I didn't put back on the weight I lost which was in total around 9-10kg (1.5 stone).

In terms of appearance, I feel as though not much has really changed,  which is good. I think I was expecting something dramatic. However, occasionally people will say that I look really different - maybe I don't feel that way because I see myself everyday in the mirror. Even if I do look a lot different though, this was the way I was supposed to look because my jaws are perfectly aligned now hahhaa.

Placement has been going really well and I'm currently on my planning placement which is very interesting. The uni work load has increased though and it's getting to be quite stressful!!

Here are a few photos taken a few days ago:
