Pretty Please!

June 15th. That is the day that I am to be debraced. I could not be looking forward to that more. Last time I went in they seemed a little skeptical about the date that they had set. They are "torquing" a few teeth. All I gots ta say is that this metal better come OFF! I am ready to get rid of it and work on getting my ROM back where it used to be. I've been wearing rubberbands for the last two months. Rubberbands suck. I am so ready to eat pad thai without picking bean sprouts out of my teeth. I am sick of sucking food out of my brace and digging around with my tongue. Also, I am totally ready to get an aqua retainer with sparkles, which is what I want. I hope that is a choice. This process is almost over. THEN I will get my eyes decompressed (due to thyroid eye disease, totally unrelated to the jaw, but it will make my eyes MUCH less prominent and get rid of all of the associated discomfort and pain, but that's another blog), and be done with all of this "work".

Something weird...

So, my surgery was in October and my husband deployed in December.I did go to visit him in Europe for about 9 days last month, and he will be home soon, but...he is not used to the way I look now yet. In Europe he was talking about how good my chin looked and I just realized that I have had six plus months to get used to this, and he hasn't had any time at all really. I wonder if it is going to be weird for him. I think I will catch him staring a lot, just trying to acclimate. I just wonder if it will be weird. I was still swollen when he left. Barely eating and all. Hmmm...

Take it off...take it all off!

June 15th is my scheduled debracing day, provided all has moved as planned. I have those pesky rubberbands and I can't wait to get these damn things off!

I did get a new tattoo the other day to commemorate all things star trek. I'll put the picture up here. Oh, and I am planning on having an eye decompression surgery soon. If all goes well I will have all the pain and blurriness in my swollen eyes relieved. New eyes? A ew jaw? I'm starting to feel like Joan Rivers!

I know the picture is flipped, but that is just because I am lazy.
