Re: braces off! (Soriyacher)

June 29, 2005

Thanks soriyacher! My joint pain is gone, so I'm pain free now,

yay. The only thing is that it takes awhile for me to stretch my

mouth open, it needs to loosen up a bit. So every morning when I go

to open my mouth for my first bite of cereal I end up shoving the

spoon in but the cereal doesn't fit cuz my jaw isn't stretched yet

haha. I still have some altered sensation in my chin too. I'm

really sorry to hear that you are still having soo much trouble, I

know you've had a really hard time throughout this all. I hope your

OS/OD have taken the time to figure out how they are going to fix

this and make it better for you, and have explained that to you...

I know for me the worst was not knowing what could or was being done

to fix the problems I had, though mine were more minor. You

definitely get an award for having dealt with all of that for the

past 5.5 months and not going crazy!! I will keep my fingers

crossed for you that your problems get resolved soon.
