Re: Katja how are you?

Hi Karola,

How is everything going with your braces? and building project? and

everything... ? I am doing ok. I am sort of just waiting at this

point for my upper jaw to heal completely/solidly... that has sort of

been slow to happen. I wrote an post surgery update of sorts to

bobzrob if you want to read that... some things are getting better

all the time... I am slowly able to open my mouth wider and wider

week by week and feeling is very slowly creeping back in again... I

am not back to normal eating because of the problems with my upper

jaw. I would be otherwise for the most part. Before I was put back on

a mushy diet, I was eating a lot of harder foods and doing fine.... I

guess it just requires a lot of time and PATIENCE!!!! I am leaving in

2 weeks for St. sburg. I would love to drop in on you, but I

have already purchased my plane ticket and it goes through Finland...

I will have to visit you on another trip when I come to Hungary.

I'm sorry about the bad news about the surgery being set back from

when you thought you would be having it. Those kinds of things are

hard to hear, but you adjust and move on and figure it out somehow....

I have never heard of " Australia " wires... but I was wearing

rubberbands on my teeth... on one side they were called Thailand and

the other Switzerland... I dont' know it if has to do with where they

are manufactured, or the heaviness or what! Oh well, I bet by now the

pain is gone and you are used to the new adjustments. Keep in touch

and let me know how everything is going for you....

Take care, Katja
