Re: Updated pictures (days 12-17)

Hi Carleen!

You look like you are doing great!

I really like the way the photos from mac.com are. You can create

more interesting looking albums and I like that being a creative

person.

My surgery is 2 days away. I'm at my dad's house right now, he's

going to be bringing me to the surgery center.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly!

Is mac.com something you have to pay for?

Hey, Mindy!

Yep, it's coming along...my energy is better (I even survived a toddler birthday

party

today--HA!).

Mac.com is really easy--I pay for a yearly account that includes email and Web

site

capabilities. They have a variety of templates to choose from, and it's very

easy to

upload pictures from iPhoto. For someone like me who wants nice looking pages

but

has no time to fiddle with a program like Dreamweaver, it's perfect. (I used to

play

with it before I had a kiddo.) I am a " creative, " too.

I am very excited for you to get on the other side of your surgery. I'll be

thinking

about you and sending you warm, healing wishes. Be sure to stay in touch and

let us

know how it went, when you feel up to it. Then maybe we can get together with

Cori

and have a Zip-n-Squeeze toast! (Her surgery isn't for a while yet, but she

can

practice.)

You're from St. Cloud, right? I know several people from there! Let's chat!

Take care--you go, Girl!!!

Carleen,

Nice progress ....

how much of an overjet did you have before the surgery?

Pre-op they said it was 7 or 8mm. I have to ask for sure on Friday (next appt).

The

weird thing is feeling my front teeth touch!

Hi Carleen, your pics look amazing! (especially considering the swelling and

bruising that

you had!). Mac & cheese! I'm jealous, I'm currently in phase 1 of South Beach

so no mac &

cheese for me for a while. But congrats to you!
