It's official!

[Guest guest]

Well, I got the official word from my insurance company that they

have pre-approved my upper jaw surgery. Hurray! I was a little

nervous, because my OS said I would have to prepay 45K if we didn't

hear from the insurance. OUCH. Ok, I'll just pick it off my tree out

back, ya right! I was so relieved to get that news yesterday.

Wanted you to know that even though I haven't been posting the last

week, I've been keeping up on everything. I actually was spring

cleaning my house last week, so when my mom comes to take care of me

that it was somewhat presentable ! What we do for visitors!!!

With two kids, I'm sure it will be a disaster before my mom comes,

but she at least knows I tried. She lives 20 minutes away, so she

knows what it looks like! Enough about cleaning.

Sara - I hope you are feeling better. I'm so glad that you post

everything that you do, because it's very helpful to know what you

can possibly go through! Your pictures look great!

- I noticed in one of your posts that you didn't like to wear

big gunks of wax when at work. I've never used wax....for some

reason I couldn't make it stay. I used Baby Orajel to numb the area

and it worked wonders! Thought I'd pass that tip on to you, maybe

it will be helpful, maybe not. I don't have hooks yet, so I'm only

going on where my braces rub. I will get my hooks July 6 for

surgery July 18.

Becky - Joey sounds like a keeper. He sounds like my husband

Harry. Harry loves to cook and I'm sure he will be pushing

wonderful recipes my way...unfortunately I'm soo fussy when it comes

to food! I call him Harry the Heater man, because I met him when he

came to install my heater in my condo January 8, 1993! We've been

together ever since. We will be married 11 years as of

tomorrow ! Have you set a date for your wedding yet?

I'm glad that everyone is doing great. Keep up the posts!
