Jaws

Yesterday was my 6th or 7th jaw surgery in 7 years. Thankfully everything went well, but today I am pretty sore and swollen. As most of you know, it is hard for me to lay around and watch tv, but I am enjoying it today. My mom is being a good nurse, and Lucy is being a great companion as well.
I am not sure if I have stitches yet or not. The doctor made two holes on the right side and went in with scopes to clean out the joint and scar tissue from previous surgeries. There were also bone pieces that needed to be cleaned out. At the end he left some sort of acid in there that will coat the joint and not make it feel as much like bone on bone.
More to come later, still pretty drugged up!
