Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I have been internet-less the last few days as I have been moving. Not much has happened until today when I had appointments with both the orthodontist and oral surgeon.
At the orthodontist I had a lot of changes made to my braces. There, they replaced my bottom wires, took off my surgical hooks (couldn't be happier about this), and changed and added rubber bands. Now, I have four rubber bands of the "gazelle" strength compared to two bands of the "gorilla" strength. Either the rubber bands or the new wires have made my bottom teeth sore. I'm just happy to be getting the process going again. I'll see her again in six weeks.
At the oral surgeon, the first thing out of his mouth when glancing at my bite was "wow!" I was surprised by such a positive response. But he said things are looking great. I am now allowed to lift weights as long as I am careful, use the elliptical machine, but no running. I can also start using my electric tooth brush again! He hasn't allowed me to start chewing yet, which I am a little upset about but better safe than sorry. I'll see him again in two weeks. I'm hoping he will give me the okay to chew, run, and jump at that time. I watched some of my new classmates play basketball today and it just made me want to play even more. I can't wait to get out there and play ball with them.
Hey! I just want to wish you a happy belated birthday!! I hope that you were able to eat a piece of cake or something. I got to mow for my birthday! When do classes actually start? I can't believe that it has been over a month since your surgery but you are looking almost normal again. I must get back to work.

Thanks Malia! And Happy Belated Birthday to you too! I got to enjoy some pasta and cake on sunday, but on my actual birthday I packed and moved into my new apartment...so not too exciting. Classes start monday but they have been keeping us very busy the last few days and we have a "basic sciences pre-assesment test" for 3 hrs tomorrow...should be fun (not). Time has flown after those first couple of weeks and im glad that im looking more normal to you. I'm not around anyone that knew me before so thats good to hear! I am missing our lunches and not just the eating solid foods part! Tell everyone I say hi!

ReplyDeleteA good funded system has a few options when it comes to the confluence of advertising, such as $19.
The only catch is that the level of supply and demand.
