I just got the best news of my 5 year brace term The big day is official. I finally get my braces off on March 19th! WOOO HOOO. Im the happiest guy in the world!!!
Update:
I am at 12 weeks since my Upper/Lower surgery. My diet has returned to normal (yes, I eat whatever I want again, so thats awesome), my swelling is all gone, and my numbness while still there, gets better and better everyday. I must say looking back on the whole surgery, when I sit and think about everything, it seems like it was no big deal. I have already forgotten about the few days post op of being miserable, I forgot about the 2 nights of sharing a hospital room with 3 people, I have forgotten all the drooling and not being able to talk, I have forgotten about my splint, I have forgotten about my 6 week liquid diet, I have forgotten about having to sleep sitting up, I have forgotten about it all. It is all a distant memory now.... and its actually quite fond memories. Sounds weird, but hey, what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger right?
And now, after 5 long annoying years...its all only 52 days from being OVER!!! (but whose counting!)
You guys have been awesome
Be well,
Joe
