Re: Luna's pictures...diane

Hi Diane,

How is everything coming along? There are two pictures of me up now:

Joanne and Joanne profile, all the way down at the bottom. I saw your

folder under Photos and clicked on it and there was nothing there!

Nothing at all there now. It'd be so nice to connect a name with a

face; I was so disappointed. I was really self-conscious about putting

my picture on there too...but then I thought of the end result

Hello Joanne - I just posted the info about my OMS Consult. I am so

TERRIFIED - I have to have a LeFort after all. Originally, my OMS

told me that there was only a (slight) possibility that a LeFort

would need to be done; now it sounds like it's alot more definite.

I'm so scared of having it done. I'm not sure if my OMS knows how

terrified I am; I didn't ask many questions about it, just sat there

and " listened " to what he had to say but not much was being heard. I

returned to work and fought back the tears all day. I feel numb but

I still feel I want to go thru with the program - whatever that

means. Sorry this is such a huge downer. I think I'll go home now

and have a good cry and get very drunk!! ~~~~ Diane

Joanne - Sorry about my empty " Photos " file - I tried a few weeks

ago, with Sara's help, to upload my horrible pre-braces pictures

from my OD onto the site (pictures were scanned onto a floppy @

Kinko's) but Kinko's had a block up so I couldn't get it to go. I

haven't tried again using another computer; I don't yet own a

computer of my very own, but that purchase is in my near future.

Sorry! (I seem to be saying sorry alot today on this site). ~~ Diane-

Hey, folks!

You all look great, I'd bet. And you all can look better -- and have

jawbones that work better to serve you, which is even more important!

Nasty Kinko's, if they charged you and then blocked you from using

what you'd paid for.

I wish I could think of a place that offers free scanning and

posting kind of stuff, but if there's one around I don't know of it.

I, too, invested in a computer just around the time of my surgery.

I'd used the one at work (my bosses are tolerant) for posting and

reading, and decided that it was important enough (plus that I could

use it to do some work at home while I was recovering) to justify

the expense. The good news: I could today better buy a much better

set of equipment for just a bit over half of what I paid in 2002,

from the same company. But I have been well served by what I did

buy, and am mostly pleased with it. (Except for MSN, with whom I

have a constitutional difficulty, and whom I am thinking of ditching

as my provider. But that's another set of stories. At least I can

still get through. So far.) So take that big, bold step.

Meantime, maybe your local library has some services and/or experts

who can be helpful to you. I know that Mr. and Mrs. Gates (my MSN

antipathy notwithstanding) have given generously to our community

libraries, and their gifts have served many users kindly and well.

It's a delight to go in on a Saturday and see the grannies there

corresponding with their grandchildren, right next to the 8-year-

olds keyboarding away!

I have yet to see a hideous picture on any of these sites. I have

seen some folks who benefited greatly from surgery, but nobody's

hideous beforehand, at least in my book! (Of course, maybe I am the

exception who proves the rule!)
