I just came back from a business trip to Hawaii. I was able to extend my trip through the weekend so I can enjoy some of that aloha sun! Here is a picture of a self-portrait of my side profile...

But remember this one below??? This is my ugly side profile before the surgery.

In the scheme of things, despite all the miserable days of recovery and 3 weeks of liquid diet, the 2 years of metal mouth, this is all well worth it!! The pictures are worth a thousand words. And no, I don't think the beautiful sun and beach made the difference.
