I also had them put on lavedar ligs, the assistant assumed I wouldn't want color, but I surprised her and said Yes I d...

Interested in how you are feeling by now. I'm 48 and tomorrow is my Braced Day!! I'm a little excited and want to stay positive about it all, Hope I'm not hurting by this time tomorrow nite..Good luck to you.

Will be 48 when they are put on in 13 days, not sure how long my treatment will be, I will be asking at my appt. . Sure like knowing there are others out there doing this at my age, which is by no means old. Hope to keep in touch with you all 40's on up club.

Marcy , Hopefully soon, sure you'd like to get this going asap like me. Hang in there, was yours due to the Blizzard of 2007 also?

Yes, I know and this is actually our 3rd snow day this year. So 3 extra days so far for us, I do believe after 5 snow days we don't have to add on any more days. WE have a scheduled 1/2 day off this thursday for school improvement day and then Monday for Presidents day, guess I should've planned a ...
