First hair appointment post-op

So today was a pretty exciting day for me, my first hair appointment post-op! Let me tell you, I have dreamed of this day for years!
Everytime I went to the hairdressers with my underbite I would constantly be on edge, hating having my hair tied back. Having my hair up exposed my long face to everyone and it was my idea of a nightmare, for that reason I dreaded hairdresser visits.
Looking back on it now it really was so sad that I felt that way. My experience in the hairdressers  today was so relaxing and happy that it made me realise just how bad my anxiety during the appointments was. For the first time in years I wasnt sick with nerves watching the hairdresser cut my hair in case he went too short and my underbite would be more prominent.
Before the operation I relied so heavily on my hair to frame my face and make my elongated face less noticeable.
This surgery is truly life changing. My aunt told me today she noticed I was considerably happier, and I am!

In other news, a few days ago I managed a t
hree course meal in a restaurant when we went out to celebrate Mum's birthday, another pretty size-able milestone! :) I had soup, fish and a chocolate fondant. Was quite proud of myself!

I'm going to my orthodontist on Wednesday and then to my surgeon on Thursday so I will update with news then!
Also going to a music festival next weekend which I'm quite excited about! Things are looking up :)
