Good Morning Kay,

All went well yesterday at my OD appt. He really just looked in to

make sure hooks and brackets were all okay. He informed me that my

OS is going to be tilting the jaw back and will then bring the front

4 teeth over the bottom teeth. After that is completed he will

widen the other 2 segments of the upper jaw. He has me booked at

the hospital for 5 hours.

For some reason today my upper hooks are bothering me. My upper lip

is raw from them rubbing against the lip. I would use wax, but it

surely would look funny being that it is the front upper teeth that

are bothering me. Other than that, I have had no problems from the

hooks except for food getting trapped in them.

My OS appt. has been changed from today to tomorrow, so I will let

you know how that goes.

I will eventually get around to posting pictures. As soon as I do I

will let you know. I will probably just wait until after surgery so

I can get them all in.

It looks like you may be donating a little more blood than me. I go

in on Monday to donate 1 pint of blood.

Anyway, it's only 14 more days to go for us!!
