resoluteOne week after my palate reconstruction, and things are looking good:
1. I have been cleared to carefully attempt eating very soft solid foods. Yay!
2. I can expect another three weeks of pain and discomfort. Ooof. My doc did say that this is one of the most painful throat surgeries to have done.
3. I keep taking pictures of the inside of my mouth because I find wounds and healing to be VERY COOL.
4. No, I will not share them here because they are very phobia-triggering in addition to being very ... goopey.
5. I am spending my days getting minor tasks done around my narcotics schedule. Ooof.
Onwards and upwards.

What glad tidings!

I was astounded to get a stellar view on the monitor screen when my dentist deployed a tiny camera on the end of the mouth probe. I could see the veins in my palate!
Bodies are amazing, even if sometimes annoying.
