Okay, real update!
10 years ago
Colorado was very pretty, it's definitely somewhere I'd like to visit again! ♥ Probably just with Ceb though... my mother in law is lovely but a week in such close quarters as an RV with anyone can start to get to you. :P
Jaw surgery stuff
So far so good. I have my next appointment on August 3rd and we're going to discuss implants to replace the two teeth which were taken with my mandible. I only have four teeth on the lower left side and none of those are towards the back... so not being able to chew on that side is getting a little old. :v Healing is going as well as it should; there's only a small area of numbness and movement-impaired area left on my lip which I can deal with, all things considered. The scar is visible but is my 'badge of honour' hahaha. http://i.imgur.com/XfzwgQw.jpg
edit August 10th: new x-ray here! http://www.blastomablog.tumblr.com
Swelling is pretty much gone but the titanium bar itself causes some asymmetry which is quite noticeable when you look at me head on, at least in my eyes. It's much better than it could have been but... it's still pretty hard to come to terms with, I will admit. Some days are easier than others. When I Skype with my parents they'll give me words of encouragement with "the swelling is almost gone!" which is well-meant but I haven't the heart to remind them that nope... that's not swelling, that's just how it's going to be from now on. I have about 20 lbs that I want to lose so maybe that will make things look a little better? Currently I'm the heaviest I've ever been at 148 lbs which isn't too bad but I really want to get down to 120 - 130. (Having a massive tumour means your body is expending a lot of energy trying to fight it, so your metabolism slows and you gain weight once it's removed. ~*The More You Know!*~ )
After eight years of back and forth I've finally come to a decision regarding a few things to help boost my self-confidence, so that's something I will be saving funds towards. Everyone deserves to be happy with what they see in the mirror and after so many blows with this surgery... if I can 'fix' something then why the hell not, y'know? It'll be many months and a lot of $ away but I'm determined to get there. I'm not sure if it's something I'll be posting about here in detail but we'll see, haha.
Commissions
Once I've finished that YCH comic on my side account for the winner then I am planning to open some actual commissions. Woo! My plan is to do several thigh-up theme batches. The first batch will be ocean/water themed like my most recent upload :D After that maybe the four seasons? I'd be happy to hear your suggestions!

And yes you definately deserve to be happy and I know whatever it is will be definately worth the wait!
Are you going to MFF this year btw? ( I know you said you're saving so probably not )
Im still thinking about going so if you were it'd be amazing to see you again, you and Ceb are great c:
Take care
I've missed your arts and I hope that you manage to build the confidence that you deserve! Much lorf, bub!
At least the saying "Chicks dig scars" can apply in an apt kinda sense!
Keep hanging in there!
It's almost skin colour again. It took ages until my own scar finally was less bright red. It's also good to hear you're
saving up for stuff for yourself to boost your self-confidence. I think that's a wonderful decision to make, to choose
for yourself. I can really learn from you, Wy. Anyway, I hope things will keep going well for you besides the jaw ad-
venture as well. Take care and stay strong! :D
I didn't really notice any asymmetry, even when you pointed it out, but that's just me.
Hope everything goes well, and that you enjoyed the ciders.
V/R,
Vesper
