hey there guys been on and off here recently and not really posted anything photography related in quite awhile and I thought it would be best if I finally posted here.
well first things first I haven't left the modelling world exactly but I've been having some health issues that means that I don't have much energy to do much at all including my full time job who have been very lovely about it and have given me the bare minimum amount of hours weekly but even that is quite a struggle so its the main reason I haven't really taken on any new shoots
so on to the medical stuff, I was meant to go in for an operation on the 11th of july to remove two molars and two wisdom teeth and to look at a possible osteomyelitis infection. I had the infection when I was younger, my brother and cousin too and that led to bone removal and in my cousins case, amputation from the knee down so it was a very worrying time.
I went to surgery and they did a quick look at the scan they had done that day and they said it wasn't osteomyelitis (HOORAY) but it was a abscess that has now been growing in my face for 2 years (not hooray) but they said it is sitting at the root of one of my molars and they can't treat it without removing the tooth which leads to the next set of problems.
From the bottom of roots of my teeth to the bottom of my jaw bone I have 5mm. thats it. And they said that removing my teeth could result in shattering my jaw bone from not only the releasing pressure from the other teeth but pulling the teeth themselves so they would have to put a metal plate through my jaw to hold it together.
so what happens next? well I'm currently waiting to hear back from a fancy hospital in london to see if they will try to take on my case but i was warned that there was a low chance they'd take me on and even then there would be a large waiting list but in the mean time there isn't anything that I can do other then pile on the painkillers. without being too gross the abscess molar is split in half meaning I can't use half of my mouth for food (for two years!!!) and the abscess leaks out the top so I get gross infection taste ergh!
why does this affect me as a model? well the tiredness makes me feel like I can't be there for a photographer 100% and I spend most of my days sleeping at the moment because of it but the other side of it is that I keep getting infections in the jawbone and my glands in the neck which makes everything swell and and lets face it, thats not gonna be a pretty thing to photograph.
I can't really give a timespan I just don't know but thank you to anyone that reads this and I hope to come back soon
