Ok I wasn't going to say it, but... here's the call I received on Monday. "Sorry the Doctor was in a motorcycle accident- broke his leg and has some hand injury.." I get the bigger picture and am happy the guy had a helmet on at least.. and still... I'll wait one more week to see if the braces really will come off.....

Enjoy your new smile tomorrow OG-- Let' us know how it goes..
