Fay/Re: Bulldozer for fellow Juner??? :(

[Guest guest]

Hi Fay,

Thanks for the laugh about the bulldozer...(haha) Sara will be proud

of you for keeping that bulldozer ready for me! Yes, I agree my OS

and OD need to be on the same page. It sounds like my OS hasn't even

talked to my OD since before my surgery. My OD was asking me things

like did the OS move the bottom jaw any? Geez, what's going on

here? I blame that on both of them because my OD can easily pick up

the phone and call my OS.

Anyway, I am so happy that you are feeling better after your OD

appointment. I was worried about you. I am a little worried that my

bite is going to relapse without any bands or anything to train the

jaw to readjust to its new position. I am not really feeling much

improvement and I am getting just a little worried. But, everytime I

get a little worried, I will think about you going in and plowing

into my OS and OD offices with your breastplate and shield! That

will surely make me laugh..(haha) You are a mess!

Have a Great Weekend,
