Everything is Temporary

I am really starting to feel like myself, like I'm back to normal. Although feeling and actually being are two different things. Other than the fact that the area above my upper lip feels almost completely stiff and slightly numb (and the giant plastic splint in my mouth), I feel like I could go for a run, go to work or just do any of the things I used to do. I can almost forget that I am recovering by the way I feel. It's pretty cool. I just wish the process and healing would catch up with the way I feel. It's really amazing how quickly bones can fuse back together but when you're waiting for the ok to do a million things, it feels like a lifetime. Tomorrow I go back to see the surgeon again and I'm curious what he will have to say about many things. I really need to ask a lot of questions because he does NOT offer information at all. When he finally emailed me back about my rubber band issue, it turned out that I don't even need to be wearing them the same way anymore and that the only thing that matters is that the bottom teeth touch the splint up top. WHY would he let me leave the appointment without telling me that?! Isn't that what the whole point of the appointment is about? He is obsessive and overly cautious, yet blase at the same time. It's confusing.
We got a little rain today. It was cozy at home! I just wished my HH was here to snuggle with me and watch a movie. We like to eat hot kettle corn with m&ms and pop one of each at a time while watching movies. Buuuuuut I can't do that right now. Soon enough. Time will pass faster than I think. My little sister brought up a good point at Easter; when our babies are born and we aren't sleeping, we're healing and hurting, irritable and feeling fat, we can't wait for them to grow up a little and start sleeping through the night. We feel eager to get back to feeling like ourselves physically and mentally. Then BAM, one day we wake up and we're wishing we could go back because the time passed faster than we realized. She said my recovery will be like that. I really hope so. Surprisingly, it really helps when people say encouraging things, even if they are pointing out things that I already know. I'm blessed.
