Hi Fay,

My surgery date is June 28th, so just a few days behind yours on the

24th.

I had an essay to write last week on the study of Language

Acquisition of Primates. I thought I would never get that essay

written. I was like who the heck cares about animals when I am

concerned about my teeth...(haha) Why couln't I write an essay on

Surviving Orthognathic Surgery..(haha)

I am excited to see my OS this upcoming Tuesday for my final appt.

before surgery. I also have my final appt. with my OD next week so

at least that will keep me busy.

Yes, I know what you mean by losing those last 15 lbs...I have a few

remaining pounds to lose myself.

So are you stocking your cabinets up with Ensure, broth, etc.? I

have only stocked up on Gerbers (Baby Food) Hawaiin Delight...My

favorite..Yes, I know I am out of Order...(haha) I am hoping my

mother will bring me up the mother of all blenders like Sara's mom.

I will talk to you a little later,

Good morning to you!

My party was great! Yes, I ate a lot. It was awesome. Afterwards we

went dancing. Then, as luck would have it, we ended up all going out

in the morning for a brunch buffet! Food....Mmmmmm.

My day is coming soon! First Connie, then Shirly, then me! (Am I

missing anyone?) I am sort of ready. Still need a white board and a

reading pillow. Every once in a while I feel some emotion welling up

inside but it never manifests. I can totally see myself bawling all

the way into the OR. I am feeling pretty reclusive right now. I have a

friend who wants to get together today, but I just don't feel like it.

I went to the beach yesterday, and it felt so great to get some sun!

Its been raining here for weeks. So of course, thinking it might be my

last sunny day outside for a while, I totally over indulged. I look

like a lobster. Hopefully all the steroids they give me for my jaw

will help clear this up! I told my boyfriend that I was creating a

distraction for myself with the drama of a sunburn.

Thanks for checking in on me. I hope that I am posting on here before

your surgery. Yuo have been so great to all of us Juners.
