The Beginning

After four years of late nights and good times, I’ve finally graduated. My overall feeling – meh. It’s due partially to the fact that the “good” feelings have yet to soak in – I’ve only been back for a week. The other half has to do with me really not being done with school. If anything I still got 5-6 years of school left.

So the big question is “WHAT AM I DOING THIS SUMMER?” Good question! Well, the next big thing in my life before graduate school would be Orthognathic Surgery…aka… Jaw Surgery. In short, my maxilla and mandible will be broken and put back into the correct place. When all is said in done, I should eat and sleep better, but from all of the youtube videos showing the surgery, it seems like a painful recovery process.

Today marked the beginning of everything for the summer. Today I went to get some test done, specifically CBC (blood count), urine analysis, and vitamin D test (just to make sure I have enough to recover after the surgery). It was somewhat of a unique day, I learned that the reason why I’ve been breathing through my mouth all of these years was due to nasal polyps in my nasal cavity. Apparently I’m allergic to something, and it caused swelling. The doctor said the reason I don’t know about it was because I’ve been use to living with it ever since I was a little kid…cool. Anyhow, the good doctor prescribed some nasal spray, and two sprays in each nostrils per day has already made me a better man.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day, a full day with my Orthodontist to get my brackets fix and to get models and x-rays for surgical records…wicked!
