What if I freak out? What if I hate the way my new face looks? Fucking hell: what if I throw up? That last possibility, perhaps the most revolting for one with a newly bound jaw, is one the doctors plan for, at least for the first 24 hours or so, running a tube through the nose down into the stomach to capture any blood that accumulates. The tube down my throat made swallowing feel a herculean task, one I had to brace for, wince and inhale a deep breath each time before attempting.
Plus, as anyone who has ever breathed air is probably aware, there are exactly two ways to do it. My nose, usually a good option, slowly closed up in the hours and days after the procedure as my nasal and sinus passages swelled. The morning after surgery, my doctor showed up early and passed me an ominous looking clear syringe with a red spout. This would be my only eating and drinking utensil for the next several days. Slow and steady is best, I quickly learned.
I handled the physical horrors of my surgery by powering through when I had to. Many people who already had the surgery reported bouts of depression, angst and frustration that scared me far more than the promise of pain or inconvenience ever could. I was touched. I pre-emptively enlisted the help of a psychiatrist to prepare for what seemed like an inevitable breakdown from the constriction, pain, hunger, isolation and the like.
But funny thing: after the first couple days, for the most part, I was fine. Most of the worst moments were at worst sort of pathetic, in a funny way. You may eat anything that can be thinned into liquid form. Meals may be blended until smooth. If food is still lumpy, use a strainer.
Cold whole milk can be used to thin puddings, yogurt, cereal, sandwiches, ice cream, and cakes. Warm whole milk can be used to thin cheese, eggs, toast, hot cereal, muffins, pasta, hot main dishes, and casseroles.
Fruit juice can be used to thin fruit, yogurt, and ice cream. It is very important to keep your mouth clean, especially if you have wounds inside the mouth that are healing.
Rinse vigorously with warm tap water after each meal or snack — a syringe with a curved plastic tip helps to squirt water into hard-to-reach areas. Brush thoroughly after meals and before bed with a child-sized soft toothbrush. You must do this as thoroughly as possible.
You will not be able to brush the tongue side of your teeth with a brush. The tongue side of the teeth can be brushed by moving your tongue across them while using a mouth rinse. Use wax to cover wires or hooks that may be causing discomfort, such as poking your cheeks, lips, or gums.
Do this by using a very small piece to cover the wire or hook at the site of discomfort. Remove the wax before brushing teeth and eating or drinking. Depending on the type of surgery, it may have been necessary to make an incision on your skin or to repair lacerations or wounds associated with your injury. Care of these wounds is important to prevent infection and minimize scarring. Keep wounds covered with a dressing.
Once the stitches are removed, keep the wound clean by gently washing twice a day and applying a topical antibiotic ointment Bacitracin, etc. For the first 6 months, avoid excessive sun exposure to your scar — apply sunblock and wear a brimmed hat.
Do not cut, remove, bend, or twist wires! If wires or braces begin to irritate cheeks or lips, a small piece of wax can be placed over these sharp areas temporarily. Point out these spots during your next office visit. Loose wires may compromise or delay healing or result in fracture healing improperly. Call the office if you can open your mouth or move your jaws! Remember, the wires or rubber bands can be stretched or broken, causing the problems noted above, or teeth can be loosened and damaged.
If you need to cough, sneeze, or yawn, use your hand to support below your chin to avoid the tendency to try to open your mouth! Frequent office visits and periodic post-operative X-rays are necessary to ensure healing. Please keep all of your scheduled appointments. It was the folk fest, which was a huge party in Butte. And I could feel it moving around. James, which is the hospital there, and they basically gave me a ton of morphine and told me I have to go through craniofacial surgery.
So then I called my dad. My dad came and picked me up. And then I did the one, the Kanye one was the big one. When I did Through the Wire.
I made the Kanye one, it blew up and got 90, likes or something and then I just started gaining followers and I had like 3, after that. How is it possible for you to eat, what happens if you throw up? I keep making content. Basically, if you break your jaw, you have two options. So your jaw just heals. People used to do it to lose weight, which is insane to me. There was a variety. I can be jaw wired shut girl forever. So what did you eat? I would have some broth but my teeth were sensitive.
