Re: Jane! I had a milestone too.....

[Guest guest]

Katja, Hey, I have an appointment tomorrow with my OT and hopefully

he can tell me what these slight lumps are although they aren't really

painful anymore. I think it had to do with my sinus pressure because

I got another little cold recovering now though. Eating is a lot

better now. My opening is slowly widening but my right side is

popping. I remember Tova saying that she had that same problem and it

went away after a while so I won't worry. My teeth are really

straightening!! HOPEFULLY I will get some really great news tomorrow

about removing my braces!!! Keep your fingers crossed.
