It's Day 6 and I wake up feeling more positive. The last week has been an emotional roller coaster but today feels good. It's my first day without painkillers and my face swelling has gone down a lot. I've graduated to rice pudding and very finely mashed oats so I feel like I'm making progress. Another of our beautiful neighbours sends food to us and lots of it. Ross has his dinners sorted for the rest of the week at least. I don't know how we're ever going to thank everyone.
My life defined by flowers - I feel brighter today!

It's a short lived feeling though. It's a little crushing to go to the dentist at midday and discover that my teeth haven't been set in the best position. It might mean repositioning + re-splinting yet again = more pain. The dentist won't do anything until after I've seen the specialist on Monday morning and then we'll go from there. I leave the surgery feeling pretty gutted.

My beautiful husband goes out to buy me the best possible present right now - an AirFloss!
And yet another fitting quote for the day:
"Yet, through all the gloom, I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory"
John Adams, President of the US between 1797 and 1801
