Day 21: The Sneezing!

It is only noon and I am already talked out today!  I wish I knew sign language (actually that is on my bucket list to learn), but still I have 6 more hours to go before I have the option to NOT talk. Oh my aching jaw bones!!

Someone asked me how sneezing was so I thought I'd share it here.  I have been taking my allergy pills religiously since the surgery so that it wouldn't be a real issue, but this weekend I forgot to take my pill and I had my first sneeze, followed by another and another...   I am "allowed" to sneeze only if I place my finger between my teeth and sneeze through my mouth. This is to prevent any back pressure from blowing a stitch into my sinuses. Well I didn't know I was going to sneeze the first time, so I didn't prop my jaw apart and it made me anxious that something got messed up somewhere inside of there.  (everything seems ok) And I have sneezed since then, one sneeze at a time is really no big deal.  Multiple sneezes however, cause my jaw muscles to cramp up and it actually takes me about a hot minute to recover. So needless to say I've been better about taking my allergy pill!
Day 21!
