It's 3 in the morning, and I can't sleep. Just going through old photos and archiving them onto an external storage drive. The photo on the left was taken in January 2004. The photo on th right was taken days after the surgery. These are almost exactly three years apart. I almost never take shots of my profile - every one of them was a rude awakening of the jaw alignment problem, so I avoided them.
I should mention that tonight I had my first post-op cocktail, a vodka martini. Couldn't enjoy the olives.... but it was a brave step towards feeling normal again. :)
