Update on Heather

Hello friends - I survived my surgery really well considering. I hardly had a bloody nose and only threw up once. I spent a week on my back with my mom nursing me back. Swollen and black and blue are my new look. That and the space between my teeth which is already about 5 mm. Hard to believe they can move the teeth so fast . . . that's why it hurts! I am still turning my expander and will do so for at least 5 more days. Today I am going off my big pain meds so we will see how it goes. I was tired of feeling nausea all the time. I am home alone for a few days (Lars has big days at work) and then my mom is coming back to keep me company some more. Right now the battle is depression as I spend my days on the couch looking ugly and feeling like crap! But, back to work by Wed next week - at least half days . . . I hope.
