(minirascal) Re: 7 week post op update

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It does seem this band configuration is doing the trick. I am just a

bit tired of the 3 band life..(haha) I am hopeful that next week my

OS will drop it down to 2 bands. I would guess that maybe by the

first week of September I will be released to go back to my OD.

That is great news that your midline is lining up with the bands on.

I do have some concerns there because my midline is not lining up at

all even with the bands on. It is at least 1/2 tooth off. So I will

be interested to see how that is going to be corrected or if it can

be corrected. But on a good note, my right side is lining up really

good along with the overbite is now corrected.

Keep up those exercises even after PT...I think at this point I would

love to be able to open my jaw to the 23mm you are at!! What is your

OS saying about the 23mm? Keep up a positive attitude though and say

one day you will open wide enough to eat that big juicy hamburger!

Sorry to hear about your muscle spasms. That must really be

bothersome along with painful. I surely hope that clears up soon for

you.

Yes the chili counts because that sounds delish! Now if that brocoli

had some cheese in it, then that would count also!! I can't believe

Winn Dixie is closing down. Back home in Lousisiana we had a Winn

Dixie which my mom always shopped at. I will check here to see if

any of the stores up here sell the Butter Pecan Boost. If they do I

will be more than happy to send some to you!!

We will be meeting my parents in Chattanooga, Tennessee this weekend

to pick up the kids. They are more than ready to come home. It will

be my first road trip since surgery. It will be nice to get out and

see the kids. Yes, I know what you mean by the kids bickering back

and forth. My girls are good at that..(haha)

Okay, I almost forgot I am at work here! Time to get off!

Take Care,
