Sleepover At Stanford!

I meant it when I said the Gracefully Clunsy antics weren’t stopping. Little known fact about me: I have been living with Sleep Apnea since... well, since I was born. My Sleep Apnea in particular comes from the fact that my lower jaw is inset and as a result I have a dangerously narrow airway. When I sleep the airway will collapse on itself. This has been a work in progress for about seven years. Today I finally had my jaw expanded and therefore opening my airway and allowing me to breathe like a normal person! So, in case you care, here are some stats and how I’m feeling: -I actually didn’t know I had wisdom teeth until a few months ago, so those got taken out today as well -My jaw is currently swollen and wired shut (a blessing to the people who think I talk too much, and trust me, it’s a significant number) -When I swish and spit my medicine there is a lot of blood -I’m actually not feeling a ton of pain right now, it’s mostly sore and annoying plus a bit of a sore throat
