Everythings going well, the retainers have been fine and i dont really think about them now. Still having some TMJ issues, but am desperately trying to help them get better on there own, rather than go down the medication route.
Did need 2 small fillings but they were both on the troublesome side of my mouth, so have put it down to this. Still as i had trouble opening my mouth for weeks, im not too worried by this and it couldve been much worse.

Realised not updated for ages! :(
So its now over 7 months since op and the braces are off!! (been off for a while-oops)
They came off on the 28th August 2008. It wasnt the most pleasant of experiances, if im honest. i had some pain from one of my banded teeth, but the rest came of pretty easily.
Firstly the bands were loosened, and then the brackets were removed, which sounded much worse than it felt, then the bands were removed and the whole lot came off in 2 pieces (one upper, one lower.) Then came an industrial scale cleaning to remove all the cement etc. This was ok. Then i had impressions taken for the retainers and i was on my way. As soon as i was outside i checked out my teeth and they looked absolutely HUGE! But i was very happy with the results.
In the afternoon, i went back for the fitting of my Essix retainer. These were not as uncomfy as i expected, tho the 1st night i was not a fan of them and uttered the imortal words "i want my braces back!"-shocking i know, but sadly true.
I soon got used to the retainers tho, and its fab having naked teeth during the day. No more stuck food :) :) :)
Only downside for me is that, im getting TMJ issues again, im clenching and grinding badly and in quite alot of pain at times. My jaw opening movement is also pretty bad and its at a maximum of 2 fingers still.
But even with this and everything else ive been through, im so happy with my new smile, its done my confidence SO much good. Im sure the pain issues will resolve themselves after a while. Ive got a joint clinic appointment with the ortho and surgeon next thursday, so will see what they have to say about it then, as there has been mention of either muscle relaxants or a bite plate, to get me out of this habit for good.
Heres a pic:
Am very happy with my smile, my teeth look great! :)

Thought id add some new pics.
Well its been 4 months (ish) since jaw op, 4 weeks (ish) since plate removal and 2 years (ish) of braces, so i thought i should add some pics of where i am now. (not literally as im sitting at dining room table, so not too interesting! lol)This is a pic taken with my boyfriend, there is still some puffiness, but the majority of the swelling is gone :)
This pic shows that both sides of my face are pretty much the same size now, for the 1st time in 4 months! Theres still abit of swelling visable on the right on this pic (tho in real life its on the left)

DATE FOR BRACES REMOVAL!!!!! :)
Saw the ortho on Thurs and i have a date for the removal of my braces! Its the .......(drum roll) ...... 28th August 2008.
Ok so its still quite a while, but things need time to settle after the plate removal. Im very very excited and as orginally i was quoted up to 18 months in braces after op, i cant complain at all.
Im getting Essix retainers, was kinda hoping for un-removable ones as i think in the long run thered be easier to get used to. But hey all i can do is see how it goes.
One tooth is not in the right place, a back molar. But due to my previous jaw problems (unrelated to this) me and the ortho decided to call it a day and give up trying. Its not the end of the world after all ive been through. ANd the last thing i want to risk is any more damage to my jaw bone.
Am feeling pretty good, and still keeping my fingers tightly crossed that the infection is gone. Mark (the surgeon-im on 1st name terms now! lol) is keeping a close eye on me, and im due back there in 2 and half weeks as things still not 100% right. May need another very small op, as there is a major amount of scar tissue right near the muscle on the left side, im guessing from having the same place opened up twice so quickly and im still chewing my cheek on that side as a result of this.
So all being well by the end of the summer ill be brace free, and all this will be behind me-i cant wait!

Plate Removal gone ahead - yipee :)
So heres an update on the 14th May i had my lower left plate removed, along with the 4 screws that was holding it in place. The proceedure involves the cutting open of the same incision line as before, unscrewing and removal of the plate and then cleaning out of the cavity and re-stitching. The main risks were, swelling (yep theres alot of that), infection and bleeding, with no real risk of nerve damage this time.
The operation itself went well, i told the anesthetist that i was nervous after the bad experiences 1st time round and he arranged for me to have a sedative before the op. So at 12.20 i was walked down to the operating theatre (which in itself seemed less scary than being wheeled down there). There i had the needley thing (shunt?) put into my arm and the sedative was injected in, then i had the heart monitors etc all placed on whilst i happily chatted to the anesthetist about who knows what! I dont even remember them giving me the anaesthetic itself. All the operating staff were fantastic and did all they could to make me feel better.
The next thing i remember is waking up in recovery. With a drip in my arm and an oxygen mask over my mouth. Strangely i noticed that the 1st time i looked at the clock it was 3.30, so not too sure if i was in theatre a long time or didnt wake up too well. I laid there kind of drifting in and out of consciousness for a while, then the anaesthetist from the op came to check on me.
Eventually the oxygen mask was removed and so was the drip and i was allowed to sit up on a chair. I decided i really needed the loo, so off i wobbled to find it! Pain wise it wasnt too bad at this point as id also had local anesthetic injections before waking up. I was allowed home, after id shown i could drink and discharged to my boyfriends care.
The rest of that day i pretty much just slept.
NEXT DAY 15th MAY
Woke up feeling pretty swollen and sore, with a huge sore patch on the side of my mouth. The swelling was already worse than id expected and opening my mouth nearly impossible. But over all i didnt feel too bad. Another day of icepacks and pretty much watching tv and sleeping.
16TH MAY
Woke up feeling really shivery and hot at same time, got up to go to loo and felt so ill had to drag myself back to bed. My face was really swollen and bright red. Eventually i took my temperature and it was very high, so i called the hospital and they told me to go to a and e. Off i went and eventaully saw the max facial doctor, who wanted to admit me and put me on intervenous antibiotics, i agreed to this, but then at the last minute he decided to give me an antibiotic injection and more antibiotics to take at home. I was pleased to get to go home. But the fact the infection still remains is obviously a huge worry. Fingers crossed the antibiotics will do there job and quickly.

10 weeks after surgery :)
So its a full 10 weeks ago, since i was laying in high dependancy with my friendly morphine pump! The jaw surgery doesnt seem that bad, now, looking back on it. Not sure id go through it again, but guess having the plate removed will bring back all the happy memories! LOL
Feel fed up today, as hate the feeling lifes on hold now until the next op. Really wanted to go to disney before op, but cant find any cheap packages, till the week of my op, which is just bloody typical.
Ive been abit naughty in the last few days and have been biting on my front teeth. It felt really really weird as its been 10 weeks since i chewed anything and ive never been able to bite on my front teeth as over jet was so bad. Doesnt seem to have done me any harm and its a boost to my morale at least.

Got my date for Plate removal : ) yay!!
Saw my surgeon today and he booked me in to have my plates taken out on the 14th May. Am so so happy to have an actual date, which seems really really odd, but its just a huge relief to know its all gonna be over soon.
Am already scared about the general anesethic, but am hoping as its a quicker operation than the original that the anesethic used will be different and i wont have a bad reaction to it. Fingers crossed anyways.
My surgeon was really nice today, and for the 1st time he actually managed to make out where the pus was coming out from, as before the infection has been very visable from the outside, but not from the inside. Now a bubble has become apparent in the crease of my cheek, which the pus erupts from when it can no longer be contained inside.
Realised i hadnt posted any pics of how my teeth look now, so this is one from the front of my teeth complete with guiding elastics:
The swelling is not too evident on this pic, but its still there, tho it has gone done after taking the antibiotics.
Im very very happy with my bite so far!!

Wisdom tooth gone...finally
Had an appointment with the ortho on thursday, so as my face was swelling i called the hospital and asked if i could see one of the surgical team at the same time.
I saw Mark, (another surgeon) first and he said that he wants the plates (yep thats right both of them), out now asap. He gave me some really strong antibiotics that app can make your tummy pretty unwell, so im drinking probiotic drinks like there going out of fashion! The antibiotics are actually used in the treatment of mrsa, so am bit worried theres something hes not telling me. Spoke to him about the wisdom tooth removal and he still seemed pretty sure he could do it, but left the final decision up to me. Hes made the actual surgeon who preformed the op, squeeze me into his clinic on thursday, so that the removal of the plates can be scheduled.
Then on to the ortho, she took the surgical hooks etc off the bottom jaw, which was pretty painful, but nice to get them removed. Then she put a powerchain on the front 6 top teeth, as some gaps had opened up there. The ortho appointment went well and i get the feeling theres just some "tidying up" left to do now.
Friday-WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL
Mark got me staight into surgery as he didnt want to make me any more nervous, sitting about. The anesethic went in realitively easily, tho the one into the roof of my mouth was bit nasty. Then he said he was just poking to see if the anesethic was working, which i realised in one place it wasnt, as i could feel it, so another injection later and feeling like the inside of my mouth was huge, on he went. He claimed to just be "pushing" the tooth, to see the condition of it etc, but as the pain in my lower jaw got pretty bad, he stopped for a few seconds and i could tell that he was actually trying to remove the tooth, as i could taste the blood. There was then a few seconds of extreme pushing, which wasnt nice but didnt hurt either (tho i was in serious pain from the lower jaw) and then it was over. It turned out that he had been unable to use the normal method if extraction, as i just couldnt open my mouth enough, so had to dig the tooth out.
Then came the gauze, which was ok, tho a nightmare for him to remove from my braces! And the bleeding wasnt too bad at all. As they sat me up i felt faint, and went a funny colour, so i was quickly layed back down, and wet towels were placed on my head and face as i was REALLY hot. Laid there for a few minutes, then they gradually sat me up, and this time i felt ok. I was shown the tooth, which was massive. Then they kept me there abit longer to check i was ok, and let me stand up, whilst the doc held his arms out to catch me if i fainted! lol. :)
Once i got home, i slept for a couple of hours. The pains not been to bad, but the lower jaws hurting too.

My incredible swelling face....
Well, day by day my face seems to be getting bigger (more swollen that is, not just larger lol!) cant imagine how there going to take my wisdom tooth out on friday 
and too be honest in the last few days im getting pretty fed up by it all. Guess its not helped by the fact im pretty scared about friday, know its abit silly after all ive had done but just have a mental issue with tooth removal, that ive had since childhood.

The wrong tooth!!
Have only just calmed down enough to write this......
Went to the hospital on 27th march for two appointments, one with the surgeon and one the ortho.
SURGEON:
It has become apparent that the wrong tooth was taken out, he didnt just forget to take out the tooth on the left side, he actually took the right one out instead. To say im anoyed is a understatement right now. So now im scheduled into have the tooth removed with a local anethsethic on the 11th April. Im crapping myself, as i have a real phobia of extractions (even after all ive been through, its still the thought of an extraction that gets me!) the surgeon tried to deny it too, which anoyed me more. He said perhaps id had the tooth taken out before and id forgotton ?????? but when i asked to see the xrays it was clear, that 3 weeks before the op the tooth was there, and 3 days after it was gone. And im doubting it just dropped out by itself lol.
The plate still needs removing, but the bone has not begun to heal as of yet. So it has to remain in for now (or ill need to be wired shut which me and the surgeon seem keen to avoid) have another app in few weeks, with strict instructions to return if it becomes any more swollen. And my orthos keeping an eye on it too.
Good news (yep there is some) is that the tight bands have been removed and now im in guiding elastics! Yippee!! Its a huge relief, tho im paranoid that the lower jaws moving back (at least i hope im paranoid)
ORTHODONTIC APPOINTMENT
Orthodontically things are still looking good, but my ROM (range of motion) in my jaw, is not as good as it was 2 weeks ago. App this is properly due to the swelling and being banded shut means i havent been able to use my jaw muscles much, so i have to practice this. Im still grinding and clenching very very badly, so i have to bring this up with my surgeon on the 11th as it looks likely i need either some sort of bite plate or something to calm me at night.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
My face is more swollen again today then it was yesterday, so the antibiotics have clearly done nothing at all. To add to this, hope its my imagination but my bite seems off and more back then after surgery, especially on the infected side. Id spent so much time thinking about the infection id almost forgotton why im banded so tightly-to prevent a possible relapse, so really hope thats not happening, as im ready to have the plates taken out but an entire relapse would be pretty much the last straw.
Gonna go and suck on some chocolate buttons now, to cheer myself up, well it is nearly easter!

How can they forget to take a tooth out??!!
Just been to see the ortho (the head of department no less!) and the good news is that my bites looking pretty good, i do have a couple of teeth that need working on. But braces wise things are looking good.
surgically tho, its been confirmed by the oral surgeon that the plate in the left hand side of my jaw has to be removed, tho it cant be taken out for another few weeks until the bone has had a chance of healing. So its back to antibiotics for me. Got to see the surgeon in another 2 weeks to book a date etc for removal.
The bit thats really peed me off, is that i found out today that the surgeon "forgot" to take out one of my back molars, so now i need that taken out too. Obviously im more concerned by the fact i have to have my jaw re opened but the fact that a highly qualified surgeon can forgot to take a tooth out is abit of a joke. (especially considering it was his idea, and he added it too the consent form minutes before the op) am still hoping that the op can be prefomed under a local anesethic as im now terrified of the thought of another general :( but i dont think there do it under a local, as i should imagine itll be uncomy so soon after 1st op, to have my mouth open whilst they do it.

Update to the pics...
Here are the progress pics of a month on...
This is the good side (the right ) and im really pleased with this pic as it shows the difference that the op has made to my jaw line and chin, compared with the next photo, which was taken before surgery. You can still see some swelling but alot of its gone down.
Pic taken 10th march 08 (4 weeks post op)
This is a pic i took before surgery, when you compare it too the above one, you can see that i have a much better profile now, so thats a good result.
pic taken 10th feb 2008 (pre op)
This picture is unfortanetly the left hand side (taken at the same time as the 1st pic) and you can see the swelling to my cheek and jaw area (it actually looks much worse than that in real life too!)
Pic taken 1oth March 08 (4 weeks post op)
Think that properly shows why they think theres an infection in there, really doesnt it!

Cant believe its a month
this time four weeks ago i was crapping myself, as it was surgery day 
now its four weeks on and its been a pretty rough ride at times but i have had some high points and learnt alot.
Things ive learnt:.....
*you can swallow quite alot of foods without them ever having to touch your teeth
*im actually alot braver than i ever realised
*if things get rough, you just cope and get through them, you have no choice
*the hospital staff in high dependancy are wonderful and i cant praise them enough
*being in hospital sucks-alot
*baby food is horrible, but baby cups are very useful!
*i have alot more people that are looking out for me than i realised
High Points
*morphine is fantastic and having a little pump of it attatched to you is the best lol
*wondering if im dead and then realising it would be unlikely id think that if i was!!
*realising that they knew i was bleeding and that once they packed my face i could go back to sleep!
*seeing my mum after surgery and knowing it was over
*persuading the doctor i was going home whether he liked it or not
*being abit spoilt by my mum, and feeling like a kid again
*discovering there was more i could eat than i thought
*having an excuse to plan a holiday for myself (to reward myself for all ive been through!)
Low Points
*freaking out as they were anethising me, i really was so scared
*waking up and having my mouth filling up with blood whilst being alone, and not being able to sit up to get it out
*The second night in hospital when i was exhausted and couldnt sleep
*Finding out i needed tight elastics 24 hours a day, due to my jaw showing signs of relapse
*The swelling getting worse rather than better and then discovering it looks like an infection is in my jaw/the plate.

Im sure theres other things, ill think of that i havent included.
4 WEEKS IN
*The right hand side of my face is doing really well, the swelling has pretty much gone. The right side however is a different matter and it still looks like i have an egg in my mouth! Theres also some bruising still on this side.
*The pains fine on the right side, tho i do still get muscle spasms and boney pains from time to time. Again the left side is still very sore and tender to touch.
*in myself, most of the time i feel pretty much ok, the infection is not helping tho, and i have a temperature at times.

another ortho app more news
just returned from the ortho and shes already put a powerchain on my teeth, this seems abit soon to me and abit cruel as im still in quite abit of pain from the op and the infection, but guess that she knows best at end of the day.The infection is still there and in her words is "rumbling" in other words its not got any worse, but no better either. App its now up to me, how long im prepared to wait before they do something about it. (unless it gets worse than they will do something asap) in the hope that it still settles and gets better, tho app thats looking less and less likely now
They think tha either a small piece of bone has been left behind, and is floating about in there, which is exactly what they think caused me all the problems the 1st time round, as a piece of bone splintered off when i had an extraction, or one of the screws has loosened and the plate is moving slightly. worst case is that there is something wrong with my jaw bone itself such as an infection in the bone (hello weeks of antibiotics for the 2nd time in my life.)
The treatment options are that i can either be re-admitted to hospital and have a drain put into my cheek/neck to drain the pus out, along with a course of intervenous antibiotics or i can return to theatre and they reopen up my mouth and hunt around in the hope that they find something. Theres pros and cons to both, so would have to give it some thought. But im leaning towards the surgery option as if they give me antibiotics as if there is a loose screw (i have an excuse to have a screw loose!! lol) then presumably it would have to come out anyway at some point, and i may as well get it over with.
Good news is that im still continuing to keep my teeth very clean :D and that im managing to open my mouth very well so my roms good. So there is some good news in all the bad luck too
am going to book a holiday for when all this is over, at the moment im leaning towards either Las Vegas
or disneyworld 
tho im unsure which yet. Gives me something to plan and look forward to tho, and think thats very important at the moment.

Getting fed up now....
23 days post op and i want everything back to normal, in alot of ways im doing fine now, and i know i should be happy with that.But im fed up with not being able to eat or talk, itll be at least another 3 weeks before there loosen the bands, enabling me to talk clearly again and the same amount of time until they let me try chewing
im dreaming of sinking my teeth into a pizza or a bread roll, even a sandwich would be excellent at the moment.Ive always believed that the only thing that stops you doing anything in life is yourself, but it doesnt feel like that at the moment. There is a band playing locally tomorrow night ive waited ages to see and im not going as itll properly get abit rowdy and dont wanna get an elbow etc in the face just yet!
and some of my friends are going to thorpe park on good friday, as there having an extreme sports day and the guys from tvs dirty sanchez are there. (im a big fan) and again no one thought to ask me as "no one thought youd want to go to a theme park so soon" ok i wouldnt have gone on the rides but couldve still come too. 
At least im in a grumpy mood instead of a upset one, grumpys much more like me! lol

Ok its not funny anymore
woke up on thursday morning and the swelling was worse in my left cheek, i hoped this was just as i had slept abit lower. 
Had an appointment with the ortho, so went along to that and mentioned the swelling to her, she had a look and felt it, then had a look inside my mouth and confirmed there was something oozing behind my back tooth still
she went to get my surgeon who just happened to be hanging around the department!! and he came in and looked and touched my face, app it now looks like i have an infection around the metal plate put into the left side of my jaw
tho im suspecting that its always been this and i never had an infection in my cheek at all.
He said that the best thing to do is wait and see what happens as they cannot remove the plate for at least another 4 weeks. As i can taste the pus (again) this means it is draining out rather than acculamating in one place so the hope is it will clear itself naturally and not get any worse. Was just another kick in the teeth (so to speak!) but as ive had so many problems with infections in the past it didnt come as a huge shock either.
If it swells up even more i have to return to the hospital asap for treatment (tho not too sure what treatment is) and it seems to be getting bigger very very slowly at the moment. Main concern is having another general anesthetic of i need the plates removed as thats the bit that scares me the most, and im hoping if it comes to that they can do it under a local.
My ortho tho did compliment me on my cleaning which is always good to hear, and the elastics are doing there job so far in holding my teeth at the correct position, so there was def some good news too.

2 weeks post op-hmm
Doesnt seem poss its been two whole weeks, the swelling is still as bad tho, so thats peeing me off a little. Tho the swelling in the inside is beginning to go so hopefully thats a good sign. 
Since having the tight bands on, things have been rough, i keep clenching my teeth really hard and this causes me quite alot of pain when i try to relax them. Im also getting alot of muscle spasms and nerves jumping-which even wake me up in night sometimes the clenching is completely out of my control, but it feels like im making a bad situation worse for myself
As soon as i take thh bands off, i can feel the pull of my naughty jaw muscles trying to get there own way and pull my teeth back to the old position, so im abit nervous when i go to the ortho this week she'll put me in even tighter bands, or worse still tell me i cant take them off to eat and ill literally be back to square one food wise.
Im eating pretty well and finding new things to swallow everyday!! As im still not allowed to chew. I ate very well cooked,mushed up pasta with bolognase sauce earlier and ive discovered chocolate buttons and steamed cakes-chocolate really can make anything better!
Still not got the energy to get out very much, tho im making myself take a little trip everyday
In some ways im really really pleased with my progress, especially on the eating and talking front, then in other ways progress has been a little disappointing. Im still sleeping quite high up, but i figure my body will let me know when its time to go lower.
The infection seems to be clearing up tho great news, and ive not had the horrible taste, or pus at all today and only once yesterday.
Will definately update some new pics very very soon

Meeting with surgeon-good news and bad
Had my first proper meeting with the surgeon who preformed my op yday.
Good news:
The infection is actually in my cheek and not my op site, app ive bitten a chunk of as its numb, and its got infected and icky.
Im managing to keep my teeth and mouth pretty clean, considering im still to swallon to brush anything like properly.
In myself im doing well.
Bad news:
My jaw muscles are pulling my bite back out of line, i now have a small openbite and overjet back again, that were not there immediately after surgery
Due to the above i am now in tight bands that mean i cant open my mouth at all, whilst wearing them.
Im now in more pain then i was before attending the appointment.
I saw my xray and the difference from before is amazing (in a good way) tho it was abit freaky to see my jaw with big gaps in the bone. (13mm advancement) it was also surprising to me how big the plates were.
My ortho app was also yday and that went fine, she just went over with me how to change the bands, how to clean my teeth and the operation sites etc. I have to go back next thursday to check on my progress.
Felt abit down when i got home, and had a few tears, but soon picked myself up and figured i had to get on with it, as its better to be banded shut for a few weeks then face a complete relapse. Guess it just feels like ive taken a step backwards in my recovery and thats whats getting me down. Also tired all the time still, and thats not helping as i want to be doing abit more now, and just dont have the energy yet.
Feel slightly happier today, but the bands are still hurting and feel abit like they are pulling my teeth out im hoping tho its like anything on this journey and itll just take a few days to get used to it, and then itll be fine.

9 days post op
Cant believe its been a week since i came home from hospital. In myself im feeling abit better, im able to do most things, ive been out to the shop a couple of times, tho im still very very tired. Im getting my sense of humour back to, tho i cant smile or laugh really as it causes me quite alot of pain.
Had a major scare yesterday, when i bent over and suddenly had all this liquid in my mouth, when i spat it into a hanky it was horrible smelling yellowly ooze, coming i think from one of the wisdom teeth extraction sites its continued to ooze on and off a little but nearly stopped now.
I called the hospital, but as i have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow morning (hes not there today) and no raised temperature, its been decided unless it gets any worse ill keep to that appointment.
Pain wise, its still pretty bad, and i keep getting itches and nerves jumping at night which is anoying but all obviously good signs at the same time. The swelling is still about the same as it was, and the bruising is still getting worse (and more multi coloured!! ) i will take some more pics later and update.

6 days post op
Not such a good day today, am getting abit fed up. Think its a combination of finding it quite hard to sleep, as i have a mountain of pillows to contend with, and keep waking myself up trying to roll onto my side and generally being in pain and discomfort. 
Pain wise-i get:
* the occasional nervey shooting pain, in my jaw, which is pretty bad but short lasting.
* a dull aching pain in my jaw
* a weird pins and needles type pain in my lips and mouth
* strange itching sensations that i cant get rid of, as i cant feel myself scratch them!!
* My neck is one of the worst parts as this is where most of the swelling and bruising is, i have a permantly stiff neck that hurts to move my head
Eating im doing pretty well:
* ready break (like porridge)
* weetabix squashed into lots of milk
* yoghurts
* mousses
* lots of soups
* mashed potato, with gravy and cheese (not at the same time!!)
* i even managed a shepherds pie, with lots of extra gravy, as i could just swallow it, if mashed down enough :)
So im pretty pleased with my progress on that front so far. 
Feels in a way that its been longer ago, then 6 days, tho i feel like my progress has been very slow, tho i guess this hasnt been helped by the unexpected happenings in the hospital.
Looking good!! The swelling is actually getting worse, along with the bruising. I look abit like hamster with a severly bad double chin at the moment Lol. The worst of the bruising is under my chin, and as it hurts so much to move my head up, im unable to get a good photo of it yet.
This pic shows how i seem to have developed a pretty impressive double chin in less than a week. Under the hanging down bit is a pretty impressive bruise, looking just like ive tried to hang myself!!-marvellous!!

CONT from 11th feb 2008
Obviously i didnt know anything was goin on after this point for a few hours. . . .
The next thing i remember was waking up in a very light room and wondering why i was all on my own, i wasnt scared just confused, then i heard someone comment that i was awake and i realised i must be in recovery. I must have slipped back out of conciousness for a time, then i woke up to a very strange feeling in my mouth. I was very confused and disorientated but soon realised that my mouth was full of blood. I didnt freak out but knew that as no one else had noticed i needed to get it out myself, i was still too groggy to sit up, and just sort of spat it out, this kept happening and i still wasnt scared just getting a bit bored of spitting out the blood! Someone came running over at this point and sat me up slightly, i realised at this point how much id been bleeding as the whole of the night gown was soaked
someone from the maxillo department came and packed gauze into my mouth, as one of the wisdom teeth id had removed was hemorraging badly. (this is quite uncommon but can happen to anyone, even from a routine extraction, and was just bad luck)
Then i laid there for a hour or so until the bleeding had stopped and i was able to go to the high dependancy ward. I didnt realise it at the time, but by now my family were panicing as they had been told the surgey would take 3 hours ish, and by the time i got back to them id been gone nearly 6 hours.
I was transferred to high dependancy for one to one nursing care, with a very nice little morphine pump to administer my own drugs
my family and boyfriend came into see me, and i settled down for the night.
Unfortanetly my body had other ideas, and as the night progressed i became wheezy and my asthma got bad, so i had to be put on a nebuliser. Then the medication id been given caused my blood pressure to drop too. The night wasnt a good one, as i had 2 drips, a blood pressure cuff, my morphine pump, oxygen tubes up my nose etc etc. and as the night wore on i kept needing to go the loo, as the drips did there thing!
The next morning i was woken for my medication, and sat up in bed, helped to wash and some breakfast of porridge was laid in front of me, along with a great cup of tea. Obviously i couldnt and didnt try to chew, but i ate as much as possible.
It was decided i was well enough to be transferred to a normal ward at this point, so off i went via xray to have pics taken of my jaw. I felt really dizzy at this point and the swelling was already pretty bad, and i even had alot of bruising less than 24 hours after the surgery.
As my blood pressure had dropped from the painkillers i spent day 2 only being able to take paracetamol, which quite frankly were no use at all. That evening when the doctor came round, he said he was going to risk giving me some codeine again, as in his opinion it was cruel to expect me to only have paracetamol.
That night was aweful, and i vowed to be home the next day. There was also more good and bad news to come. The good news was that the operation itself had gone well, the surgeon was 100% confident there had been no permanent nerve damage, and the xrays were looking very good. The bad news was that i was holding my jaw very very badly, and although my teeth met fine, i was increasing my chances of a re lapse by continuely holding it at a very funny angle. Bands were placed on, and at one point it looked like i would be completely banded shut, but im still waiting to find out what will happen next
The docs werent too happy to send me home as id had so many issues along the way, but i pleaded with them and eventually they relented and discharged me wednesday evening. It was actually quite scary to be at home, especially as they had wanted to keep me in another night. But i was glad to see my own bed, even if it was hard to see under all the pillows i needed to sleep!!
Here are before photos taken on the night before surgery (10th feb 2008)
This is obviously me from the front view!!
This is my profile on the 10th feb 08, its not too bad although you can see my chin is abit far back. Tho im not having any of this done for cosmetic reasons, a better profile is a bonus.
Right: this is my teeth in profile, you can see my overjet quite clearly, at this moment it stands at 13mm.
These are photos taken on the 15th February 2008 (4 days after surgery)
Looking good! This is taken on the morning of the 4th day after op. The swelling was much worse on days 2 and 3.
Right: this shows the swelling on the left side and also the bruise which gets bigger with every passing minute.

Much worse than i expected
Had my op on monday the 11th and it was much much worse than i expected it to be.
Here goes: (sorry if this scares anyone, i can only tell it as it is.)
Monday 11th feb 2008
Got to the hopsital at 730am with already a few tears in my eyes, so not the best of starts. Was taken to a ward, where we basically sat for ages. Then the anethetist came and introduced himself to me, and it became apparant that one of the medication i take for anxiety was going to be a problem as it contradicted with alot of other medications add on to this that i have a alergy to ibuprofen type drugs and we had a large problem.
I was anoyed at this, as i had made sure the hospital knew of these problems, way in advance and they had done nothing about it, till the morning of the surgery.
I was told i would be going to theatre in the afternoon, and went down at about 2 pm (so had been sitting in the hospital for 5 hours!!)
So off i was wheeled to the pre op area, where i was asked a million questions again, such as if i had any jewerlly on etc. Then i was taken through into a room containing the anethetist. At this point i started to feel weird and disconnected from what was being done, the needle thingy was put into the back of my hand and i didnt even flinch, then the local anesethic went up my nose, and they all commented on how brave i was being.
Suddenly tho, everything changed, and as the drugs were injected into the back of my hand, i freaked out completely, i remember trying to push the aneaetist away and telling him to stop as i didnt like it, at that point i lost it completely and tryed to push my way up, the last thing i remember is them holding me down, whilst putting the mask over my face. as tramatic as this was, it had to be done and im just glad they got me under the anesthic as quickly as possible.
