Sara Girl/Re: Newest update... Caboose

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara,

I just read your post on your update. Great news! Sounds like we

are both so close to the end of our long journey..I am starting to

see the light at the end of the tunnel...Yahooo!!

I really do not know how much longer I will have in these braces. I

see where you are not happy with your cute curled up nose. Sounds

like me and this lip of mine that I am not happy with. I am sure

others do not notice it, but I do. So now I have a big beautiful

smile with a lip that is messed up...What's up with that?...(haha)

It looks like extra skin that is just hanging down a little bit from

under the lip. I am going to hang in there a little longer to see if

it goes down, but I really don't think it is from swelling. It looks

like when I smile one side of my lip is bigger than the other side.

Craziness..(haha) But like your nose, I am sure if it bothers me

enough the OS can correct it. At least it is something that can be

corrected down the road. I do have a call in to my OS today because

my old habit of clenching the teeth has returned now that the teeth

have contact. I surely don't want to do any damage to these jaws.

Anyway, I better get off of here because I am at work today and

should do a little work..(haha)

Take Care & I will keep you updated and you better do the same!
