Hello! I have to go to sleep, but I can't because I'm very nervous and I can't calm down.

The day before yesterday, my girlfriend was hospitalized, the doctors had cosilium and made decisions on the surgery. We have already talked with her doctor, the surgery will be on May 15, in the morning. After the surgery, my Maria has to spend two days in intensive care with breathing tubes. She has problems with anesthesia, and because of her jaw, doctors cannot insert tubes through her mouth, so the tubes will be inserted through the nose.

They will transplant adipose tissue from her leg to her cheek, cut out a ligament from her leg and insert it into her cheek, install a plaster implant to stretch and prepare the skin for a future titanium jaw implant, install some threads to tighten atrophied muscles.

The surgery is complicated and quite rare. But it has to be done, because with the paralyzed right side of her face without her right jaw, Maria will not be ever able to chew and close her mouth. Prior to this, she had accumulation of lymph and it supported her jaw all this time. But now it's gone and her upper and lower teeth no longer meet.

I am very worried, and she is even more worried.

Thank you for support! Now I will not be able to work hard at my main workplace, because I will have to take care of Maria, visit her in the hospital and support after it (it will be a problem to walk for her after the surgery since they will cut a piece of ligament from her leg). So your donations will help us a lot.

I will draw comics in the evenings, I don't want to take a break and leave you without a chapter.

PS On the photo you can see Maria's cat (her sweet cutie pie) drawing a sketch of a new chapter for you.
