What I have learned...

From the front I don't look like I thought I would post-surgery, but I like it just the same.

From the side I am thrilled that I don't think about it anymore. People seeing my profile does not even cross my mind.

I can't stop touching my chin. 4 months out and I can't stop touching my chin. I just can't believe it is where it is.

Eating might never be the same. I chewed one way for 31 years and now I have to chew like a person whose molars line up. I thought it would be easier, and become second nature in no time flat. That has not happened yet. Also, I can't move my jaw forward at all so grasping things between my front teeth to open them or something is not possible.

Thankfully, scissors were invented a long time ago.
