Update on Neck

I went to the doctor today and had my stitches removed. That was fun! I didn't expect it to hurt since it didn't hurt last time he took stitches out, but it did kinda hurt today. He said the stitches "weren't cooperating" so he had to kinda dig at them. It wasn't that bad though.

I've been in a lot of pain the last few days. I can't even eat until I have a pain pill. My neck hurts, my right ear hurts, my teeth on my right side hurt, the back of my tounge hurts, the right side of my throat hurts, my jaw hurts, my cheek hurts. I asked the doctor about all of this and he said it's all normal. Fan-freakin-tastic! He looked in my ear and said it looked good, but it's hurt since the surgery and isn't getting better.

I also asked him about my smile, because it's crooked right now. He said they had to cut through the muscle that controls my face and that it should get stronger and go back to normal. It's not that noticeable, but I notice it.

Here are updated pictures. I got back in a few weeks so he can look at the incision again. He wants it to heal better than my last one so I might have to have steroid shots in the area.
