So there is a light at the end of the FLOODED tunnel...
If you haven't heard/read the WI and MN are now disaster areas...

But even when wading through the flooded house I realized that my debrace date is next monday!!

At least one thing is going right...

1st time and hopefully the only time.

Kat - it sounds like you need to step up and be the adult in this situation. Calling to request a meeting with your ortho is not being disrespectful but being pro-active about your treatment.
