Thanks! I'm still trying new ideas so I appreciate it. I get so

frustrated because if my " food " isn't liquid thin then my holes get

clogged. I tried a very thin shake today and when I squirted in the

corner of my mouth it just dripped all over me after a few seconds.

So...

Hi Jane

Uhg. I had my first full, LONG, TIRING day at work today. My schedule

has me working shorter hours some days, but longer hours others.

Today was the longest and I am SO tired!!! Waking up at 4:30 am in

pain doesn't help start the day really great though....

YOur dinner last night sounded so yummy and I don't even like chili!!

And it sounds like you were a sight to see!!! I still use a mirror

when I eat depending on what I'm eating. It makes it so much easier

to get the food into my mouth and not everywhere else but!!! Looks

and feels weird to always be looking into it, but I can't open that

wide, nor can I feel everything, so I prefer to visually confirm I'm

not getting everything ALL OVER my face!!

I feel the same way about the splint... that it is what is inhibiting

my getting back on the eating bandwagon. However slowly it takes me

to start eating, I don't care. I just can't wait to have my teeth

touch eachother again and room for my tongue. I am getting pretty

nervous about the splint coming out too... I'm not worried about it

hurting or anything, I'm just worried about what my bite is going to

look like at that point. I hope it falls into place a lot better than

I am worried it will. My lower doesn't even fit into my splint

really!!! My OS checked and said it was perfectly fine. My lower

teeth have shifted due to the bands, so I guess they won't fit, but

my lower appears all off, so I am feeling nervous. I guess I have to

face the music regardless! I am trying to let go and now worry too

much, but that's hard to do!!! Regardless, I have 9 days left till it

comes off and I can't wait!!

My cheeks seem to have swollen up a bit more now too.... I am having

pain due to the nerves more than the elastics. I hope you're feeling

great today and have discovered something new to enjoy eating??!!!

Oh, as one Aries to another, if your OS is a jerk at the next appt,

you have my authorization to RAM the splint down his throat!! get

it!?!? ha ha... ok, I know it's late. I think my sense of humor

has already gone to bed! Sorry for the bad joke!

Have a great weekend.... our (approx.) week countdown is beginning

until our next steps towards freedom!!!

Your Bday bud,

Katja
