Orthobloggers, how are you? I’m celebrating 3 and a half months post surgery today, and things are mostly fine.

1. James has finally got used to my new face and has embarked on a cooking mission to feed me tasty, nutritionally balanced stuff that I have to chew a little – make those muscles work- but not too much – under no circumstance should post-surgery diners reach frustration point and throw their cutlery in the cook’s general direction.
2. A total of seven people have declared that I look like Juliette Binoche, which is cute and probably a compliment. (I really don’t).
3. Teaching has been ok, talking is tiring but nothing major. I manage.
4. I have regained complete sensitivity in my chin and lower lip; my teeth don’t feel like blocks of wood anymore. I’m impressed, and grateful.
5. I’m booked for a visit to Dr L and to my ortho on October 7th; fingers and toes are crossed that the Eurostar will be working by then. There is still quite a lot of fine tuning to be done, and at this rate the hardware will never come off before Christmas! I don’t really care, actually.
