Johanne!!!! That's good news!!!!!! Congratulations ;-)

I'm debating over having one single party when all my braces get

removed, or one smaller one in two weeks and one big one when

the bottom one are removed.

Tough choices... ;-)

My ortho and his secretary want to take me out for dinner once my

bottom braces are removed. They are more excited about the whole

thing that I am

I'll be planning a party once everything is done. Still got to get

my implants and bridges put in. I am very happy to be at this point

though.

I read a previous post where you mention still having quite a bit of

numbness in certain areas. Now I feel bad for feeling sorry for

myself the other day since I still have some numbness in my chin

(and I'm approaching the one year mark) - but that's all the

numbness I still have. I'm glad you still believe the surgery was

worth it. I know I do.

Oh, and if you want my opinion - have 2 parties. You'll probably

want to celebrate as soon as you get the top braces off.

Good luck!
