Day 10 - The Best Day Yet

Today's been a really good day for me. My second day of working from home and I didn't get tired at all. My energy level is starting to feel almost as good as normal now.

I'm still having sleep issues though. I didn't get to sleep until a little past 2:00 AM last night. Not sure what's keeping me awake but perhaps I'm not tiring myself enough through the day. I didn't nap today so we'll see how I sleep tonight.

The other thing I noticed while in bed last night was my tongue is starting to get scaly. I think it's because of the plastic splint which is starting to feel waxy now. Can't wait to get my elastics off so I can give my tongue a good scrub.

I tried taking a peek at my stitches this morning but couldn't get a glimpse. I also had some bleeding in my mouth today. It was from the inside of my lower left cheek so either I cut myself on my braces or I have a bit of an infection due to inferior brushing capabilities. The tightness around my upper lip and nose seems to have reduced so maybe I lost a stitch this morning. Finally!

I'm making more and more discoveries of people in the Ortho-blogosphere. Check this out - Brandy had her surgery just 2 days after mine. It's kind of comforting to know that I'm not the only one going through this massive inconvenience.
