Well, it's day 27 of my journey, and it doesn't seem like I have accomplished much. I am in the process of gathering test results and making appointments. I am still excited and looking forward to the changes that will be coming. I have reduced my ibuprofen intake by 2/3. I had stopped it all together, but I was in too much pain with my jaw. Yesterday and today I have taken 3 in the morning and been able to get through the day pretty well. I will probably keep doing that until I have to stop leading up to the surgery. I have gotten some topical anti-inflamatories and pain medicines which have been helping a bit. I will continue on the search for what works best. I am even thinking about acupuncture.
I have spoken to my pharmacist, and all of my medicines will be fine to crush or switch to liquid except one. I will be going to my doctor to see about getting off of that one. It is for my headaches, and I have been wanting to get off of it anyway. Less medicine. YAY!
I am so looking forward to being more comfortable. Not feeling like a turtle on it's back. Being able to move my seat in the car forward as far as I want to without my belly being in the way...
The only thing that I would love to do (but can't because it is against the rules at school) is get an eyebrow ring. Just thought I would throw that in. If I ever quite teaching, watch out! I will be sporting one!
