i am okay! thanks for so much support. i can’t believe how sweet everyone has been. it has def. been a roller coaster, but i am so glad to be out of the hospital and home in my own bed. i can’t talk very well, can’t stand up for very long, and I now understand how people lose weight doing this, but I feel so much better then I did. i couldn’t remember anything the day of my surgery…so weird. i am going to put some pics of myself up…don’t be alarmed it looks worse then it really is. i think i look like a monkey, but my darling husband still says i am beautiful, what a guy! they had to stretch my mouth open really wide to get to everything, so that is the sores on the side of my mouth…they actually took my entire top jaw off of my skull to saw it down 5 to 7 mm. crazy!

this is about 2 hours after my surgery…ewww

Wow, my heart bleeds for you! I saw pic one and thought oh my Lord what has she gotten herself into. You are now deemed Super Heidi (not that you weren’t super before)! I know you have everyone waiting on you like a princess, but if you need anything let me know! I will take care of it – this includes Paulie Poo too! Love you and hang in there!!

Wow, that is intense. Way to be amazing. Karlee says to get better soon.

Well a picture is worth a 1,000 words . . . isn’t that what they say? I’ve been thinking about you and wondering how the surgery went. Everytime I’m in the store (which is almost a daily thing) it triggers the thought of wondering. I’m glad your husband posted to let us all know your progress and that it was successful. Your pictures display pain, but of course pain that only you know. Soon (and I hope very soon) all of this will only be a small memory and you’ll be feeling much, much better. Again, so glad to hear that you are doing better. Hope to see updated pictures on your blog soon.

Heidi~

I just discovered your blog a while back and have been following your surgery. My thoughts will be with you for a quick and uneventful recovery. I will look for updates on your progress. Take care of yourself,

I know you were scared but you came through it like a rock star. 6 months of extra care will be a lifetime of comfort and beauty. Just think how much better you’ll feel. I have to admit, you look much better than I thought you would at this stage. Sounds like Paul’s taking very good care of you too. Relax, read a good book and take the time you need to recover. You’ll be up and around in no time. Take care. My thoughts are with you!

Heidi,

I was at Creative Escape last year so I got to take your class and even made a calendar for my sister – such a cute project! I happened on your website like a week ago and saw all this information about your surgery. Do you mind me asking what was wrong? I look at these pictures of you and I feel so sorry for you. I can’t imagine the pain you must have been in but it appears that you are very strong and getting through this day by day. Even though I do not know you personally, I just wanted you to know that I was concerned and hope that your recovery is swift.

i think you look amazing and I pray that you will continue to heal. You just have to get back to scrapbooking.

OH my gosh my heart goes out to you and your family. I am so glad that you came out of there with flying colors! God has kept you in his hands! Hope you have a speedy recovery. See you in Totally T!

Holy Moly Heidi!!!! Imagine my surprise when I went to your blog to see what’s up for totally t and you’ve had surgery??!!!!! How did I miss that? I didn’t know you were planning on this … and I’m speechless! It sounds like you’ve been in good hands and your attitude is amazing! My thoughts are with you and I can’t wait to see you again, I’ve missed you! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Heidi! I wish you a speedy recovery. I’m sure glad that surgery is over with. You are a real trooper.

While it is great to see you are surviving, I am still amazed at the pictures. Wow! Here’s to a speedy recovery. Can’t wait to see your bubbly self back at work soon! Take care Heidi! Glad Paul is taking such good care of you. Hugs, Susan

Wow Heidi-I guess a picture is really worth 1000 words! I am sure by today you are looking and feeling 1000 times better. I broke my jaw over 30 years ago and had to have my mouth wired shut so I sorta “feel your pain.” Hang in there…..Take it easy!

Oh wow, Thanks for sharing as we would never know. I saw your mom today at the Album party( I have to say YIPPEE for the party first)
Ok, now for the serious side of me( I don’t do serious sides)
well, I am sorry, and I pray for you and I hope you are doing good.
You have such a loving paul as I do my Juan. Hey you can call him your Paul and only, like I saw Juan and only. Why oh why do I always get off track here.

Ok, once again, you take care and I want to send you some flowers OK?

Do you want a icecream? Poor thing.
