Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I've been making the arrangements for my surgery -- it's scheduled for July 8, and my friend and I have our plane tickets and hotel booked. I'm still futzing with flex spending accounts and the loan application. My surgeon's info packet arrived in the mail a few days ago. I hadn't really been nervous at all until I started reading it. It's all serious and stuff. :-) I had a sudden moment of clarity where I thought: What the heck am I doing to myself? Allowing people to slice and rearrange my JAW?! I know these butterflies are normal. I know I'm in good hands. I expect everything to go well, although I'm a little worried that the results won't be dramatic enough to justify all this expense and hassle. I know that at the very least I'll have straight teeth and a beautiful smile, but my secret hope has been that I'll become pretty. Or something approaching it. And the reality probably is that I'll still look like me. Anyway, I just read Cammie's and Grapebat's experiences with lower advancement and that calmed some fears, raised others. Like, is it really OK that I'll be discharged a few hours after surgery? I guess I have to trust that my surgeon, who is one of the best, knows what he's doing. But I'm a control freak! This is hard. :-) All part of the journey, I suppose .... Thanks for listening. Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
