:D Hi Guys, i have returned after quite a long absence, mainly due to being in hospital (over a year), after working abroad for a while. So then what about the braces, bottoms now off, with Hawley retainer :cry: , which is more painful than the fixed braces, and then there is the remembering to take...

:D Hi Friends the last adjustment went well, ortho is happy that all is going accccording to plan, even with the long break between. I had some rubbish news on the health front yesterday, with the crohns the chemo continues to go okay, but over the last few month i have had a continuing ear infectio...

:lol: Hi Friends, thanks for the messages, yes in a way it is good to be back, but I also miss things aswell, iI think it will take some getting used to, especially in the array of food to eat in the Waitrose (local supermarket), lots of things i had forgotten all about, so here is to Fluff and stra...

:lol: Hi Everybody Well after an absence of,what was it?, about 6 months!!!, I am now back,and raring to go, it has been a combination of working for MSF and then also in hospital :cry: , but things are on the mend, (as much as they can be with crohns anyway), and I'm back to my usual routine. I had...

:lol: Hi Friends Guess what I am still with you, no not abducted by aliens, but rather working in Darfur for MSF, with very occasional visits back to the UK for med check ups etc...but alas no e-mail where i was..in fact, no real shelter, clean water, or secure safe places..sesame..how do we do this...

:lol: Hi Friends Ive been away a while due to being in hospital.

:lol: Hi friends No I had not been abducted by aliens, and a worm hole did not appear in the bathroom causing me to fall into a parallel dimension, but it seemed like it.. I have been back into hospital for a couple of weeks, went for a routine appointment, but alas it was a cunning rouse by the gas...

Hi Loulou As mentioned, having braces would not be classed as a medical condition, just as it is not in the UK, unless there are other maxilofacial issues, and as for the jaw dislocation this will be covered in a hopital with no problem, i worked and lived in paris for two years, so i can vouch that...

:cry: Hi friends I saw a second orthodontist for a second opinion last tuesday, and She pretty much agreed with the first ortho that treament is going to be slow, because of the lack of bone where teeth are to move to, and that I have got to be patient...which I'm not very good at, but am getting be...
