Just after surgery...I'm ready for my close-up...

Yes Yes Y'All

This is what I looked like about 4 hours after my surgery.  Surgery lasted only about 2.5 hours for top & bottom + sliding genioplasty.  At this point, I'm finally out of recovery room #1 (having never made it to recovery room #2... I was having some trouble breathing right so they monitored me closely in the first one...I stayed until closing). 

I had top and bottom jaw surgery.  Just before surgery, I signed a consent and noticed there was also "sliding genioplasty" written down on the form of "to-do's" for the day.  This was news to me, so I made a quick decision to go ahead and have that done as well.  I knew my chin was not going to be made worse should it be a little more prominent than before (see post #1 for photographic evidence suggesting that this was in fact, a wise choice).  

Leading thoughts @ this point: 

• "I'm so glad I can sort of breathe now"
• "I'm so glad they finally removed that bandage that was impeding my breathing...what took them so long?"  
  
• "I'm so glad I'm alive" 
  
• "I must look really bad...Oh well"
  
•  "Yay...I didn't throw up!" 
  
• "Evidently, 80's bangs are back!"
