Good luck with your surgery. I'm having mine on Monday (yikes!)

I spoke to my orho today, and told him about the last bill. He was shocked that I got that bill, and said that there must be mistake in their system. So, Ill be getting my money back!

That is great! Does that include the bill for the surgery or just the braces?

Hmm that is wierd. My surgery was done for medical reasons, and I still had to pay the patient's charge(egenandel?). Same goes for the ortho.

I think Yarr's in Norway. In that case, I find it strange that he has to pay anything. I'm also in Norway, and am scheduled to have a double jaw surgery in the (near?) future. I'm not paying a single penny (or rather a single øre) for either the upcoming surgery or the braces. Both are automatical...

[quote="Meryaten"]I too have been looking at your blog from time to time, Brandy - it really is a great resource!! I'd looked at the link you're referring to (and before surgery decided to look away a bit quickly! ;) ) but the sad thing is as they're low res, it's hard to get a really good...
