Dr Jon's Braces journey
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 9:37 am
Hi friends
Well it is now 48 hours until my B-day on Monday, . When i started the getting ready for this journey I would not have said I was happy about what was to happen, in fact my other posts at the outset show a much more pessimistic attitude,as may be seen thus; in my other posts,( braces in four weeks)
But
now well I am starting to get very excited about my B day
what has turned that around for me has been an acceptance of the situation, and this has been partly giving myself a real kick up the backside, in putting into context the issue of braces in relation to all my other health issues, ie the Crohns disease, the type 1 Diabetes, the PSC liver problems.
But i must also add here it has also been this forum, and website that has enabled me to accept the situation, in that i thought I was a lone adult facing this, but I'm not...there are loads of us out there...so if you are reading this and thinking about braces GO FOR IT
I hope i can show you all what a positive thing it is to do, in that for me getting my odd and wonky teeth sorted out is the least of the issues, its a way of saving my teeth , but it will also give me the opportunity to smile, something, which my patients have always said I never do, so there will be positives for those around me as well.
So i hope you will continue to be with me here through the ups and downs of my journey with braces, because I am sure there will be down days, as well as up ones, but my attitude I am pleased to say has changed to one of optimism, and all in four weeks...thank you all, my friends.
Keep on looking in
Bye for now
