I wrote a post not long ago saying it was 3 days before surgery.. Now exactly one week has passed.. Honestly, even now it is so, so hard. The heat in my face and the pain from the compression band.. The reason I’m writing is to shorten the time of suffering.. I’m writing this in hopes that my review may be even a little helpful to someone... The consultations and all those times.. were really nothing.. Even getting on the operating table and going under anesthesia.. honestly, they were nothing.. From right after waking up from anesthesia, it became a fight with myself... Argh.. From then on, it was so hard.. I wasn’t fully myself mentally, and I was so sleepy, but I couldn’t sleep.. It was hard to breathe.. Is this what plastic surgery is... I truly felt the pain.. It’s true what people say, that you need to think hundreds of times before doing two-jaw surgery or bone surgery.. I also chose it because I had asymmetry and malocclusion, but I never knew it would be this painful... People who went through two-jaw surgery before me.. I really think they’re amazing.. Right now, it feels like a fight with swelling.. Because of the tremendous swelling, it feels like my face is going to burst soon.. They say today is the critical point, so if I just get through today, it should get a little better, right... I have no appetite either.. My legs are trembling.. But to take antibiotics, I need to drink something at least.. Until yesterday, even drinking about half of a New Care was extremely hard, but today my pace has gotten faster.. I guess my throat has finally calmed down.. Swallowing has gotten a little easier.. Tomorrow is the day I go to the hospital.. It takes about two hours to get there, so I’m worried about how I should cover my face when I go..
