Some have you who read this blog have a regular chance to speak to me face to face. Anyone who has spoke to me face to face in the last 3 years has probably noticed I have braces. Yes, braces. Orthodontic work. Probably a little strange for a man nearly 30 but you know what they say, “young til I die.” Anyway, Tuesday was a big day in the braces game for me. Part of my ortho process involved oral surgery. Below, I present the before and after pics. Turn away if you are slightly squeamish. Fear not, I didn’t post up “the day after pics” but rather “the day after the day” The day after pics are much more gruesome and are probably worse looking because I was still in ICU at the time with about 6 million wires plugged into me.

Oh yeah, I’m fine too. I experienced very little pain and got out of the hospital one day early. My doctor and nurses were really amazed by my progress. I lay all my thanks to a healthy lifestyle and an endless supply of PMA. Really, PMA got me through a fucking lot.
And now slow eating, but I’m doing fine. Much love to every person who texted me or shot me an email. I really appreciated it. You’d be surprised how slow those nights wore by in a little hospital room. Good thing I had baseball and basketball to keep me company. Oddly, I somehow fell asleep before Papelbon blew both saves. Weird.
I just had a tooth pulled and my jaw chipped so I’ve got this yellow bruise and thought it was wierd. I googled “jaw bruise yellow” images and found you. I feel better now. Guess I’m not dying of some type of curry overdose!
Hope your feeling well.
