Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I had my surgery on December 10th 2003. My family were very sweet about me having to 'drink' Christmas dinner. They made a special menu just for me (even though I told them they didn't need to go through any trouble) I was lucky though since I got my elastics off on December 23rd, so I was able to eat some soft food during the holidays. Mashed potatoes with gravy never tasted better I'm also a big fan of eggnog - so I drank a lot of that also. I got my top braces removed on Thursday and will be getting my bottom one removed by the end of the year (fingers crossed), so I might be brace-free for the Holidays this year. > > > > Ok, that's it everyone.
