Day 57: Summer Is Almost Over?

Aaahh I missed my first day of blogging!  I slept over at a friend's last night and didn't get a chance to update.  So I'm going to cheat a little and post this one today!  Here are some pics of last night:

I cannot believe that summer is finally coming to an end in a few weeks.  It seemed to drag on ceaselessly for the longest time, steeped in a miserable recovery and endless boredom.  I couldn't wait for it to end!  However now that I've been allowing myself happiness again, I wish I had a little more post-splint time.  Most of the friends I've seen over the past few weeks I may not reunite with again for several months-- they are scattered all over the country!  I am grateful for what little time I had with them, though it feels like not enough.  I am also so happy to almost be done with the worst part of this process.  Despite the whole jaw deal, I have managed to carve out a pretty decent summer. :)

Day 48: Fragile

Having my jaw moved and broken makes me feel so fragile!  I went to another concert tonight which was at the same venue as yesterday's but oh so much rowdier.  The crowd was a sea of elbows and flying objects, all of which presented a danger to my breakable face.  To make matters worse, people were crowd surfing all over the place, which means that I had bodies flying at my head as well.  They were even standing on boogie boards- literal crowd surfing!  I took this artsy photo:

Ridiculous!

I was shielding my face like it could shatter at any moment.  Which it very well could have!  Although I ended up having so much fun, but I can't help feeling like I nearly escaped death!  The last thing I want is to damage anything and interrupt the healing process.  Got to be careful!
