Dun dun dunnnn!


The letter I'm handing into my work peeps. I guess it's official. Cue panic now. =\

Baby girl decided she hates bottles all of a sudden. Also just not a fan of milk (even nursing) in general. Panicking more than necessary now but she needs to eat!!! We're starting to feed her large amounts of solids, haha. She's my world.

Appointment schedule craziness:

February 20th- Regular cleaning (with my regs dentist)
March 4th- Regular ortho appt (might have to add an extra bracket, change wires)
March 11th- Pre-Op appt with surgeon
March 18th- Ortho to get surgical hooks attached
March 21st- Call hospital to get exact surgery time
March 24th- JAW SURGERY

Epic. After all that- I doubt I'll even have any comped time to use during my leave!!!  I really never thought this day would come. =\ I'm glad I carefully planned my regular dentist appointment, haha. Just kidding. That just happened by chance! I'm so glad though.

Along with all those appointments I have a friend's surprise birthday party, two open houses for work that I will have to attend during evening hours, one of our bigger work fundraisers, plus daily life/sleep habits of a 7 month old! Fun. Times.

Wouldn't change anything for a second!!!


Brace face selfie! Trying to take as many photos as possible now! haha

1 YEAR POST OP

Well HEY! Nothing much has been happening with my mouth lately (WHICH IS GREAT!) so that's why I haven't updated or anything. But TODAY marks ONE YEAR since my jaw was broken in two places! Can't believe that I went though with it. It was honestly the best medical decision of my life (except for maybe my epidural HAHA). I wear my retainers in the evenings and all night. I see my orthodontist and my surgeon in April. I'm hoping I get the go ahead from my ortho to only wear to bed, but we'll see. I'm still extremely happy with my smile. There are tiny gaps in little places occurring but there's nothing I can do about those- says my ortho. Just normal movement. They don't bother me either. I still can't really feel my upper gums, but it doesn't bother me at all anymore. It's just weird sometimes. I love my smile! I wish I had more to say, but here's some photo spam instead. :P Me, TODAY. Loving life and my new smile!  Me...

I'm yellin' timber...

Honestly... every time I CROSS-OFF an appointment. I add another one. This is getting a little out of control. I thought everything went pretty well on Thursday, but then the resident called me on Friday night to say that we need to RE-DO my upper molds. Sigh. He said that he has NEVER had this happen before and no one really knows what happened? Whatevs. He was SUPER apologetic and says it'll only take a few min. I talked to him last night and he gave me his personal cellphone number and is having me call him when I get there so he can do it right away. He's really a nice guy. I can't be too mad because he's being super nice about it. Even saying I can park in the free lot since it's $5 usually to park in Oakland. Woot. I'm just thankful I can just pop over after work. I know some people travel super far for jaw surgery. Anyway here's my (hopefully final) updated appt schedule. February 20th- Regular cleaning (with my regs dentist) March 4th- Regul...

2 months post op!

Wow! I can't believe it's been 2 months already! SO much has changed within the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping it's all thanks to my splint removal! That thing was miserable. Things are really great right now. Amelia, 10 months old ahhhhh, is sleeping through the night now and that makes a HUGE difference. Swelling: It still varies, but it's mostly not noticeable to random people. I notice a little bit. Still around my upper cheeks but it's definitely not as bad as it was. Now that I'm chewing I think that has helped a lot. My lips are back to their regular size! Numbness:  My upper palate and upper gums are still numb. Makes things a little hard to chew but I'm getting the hang of it. Not sure if I'll ever get feeling back there. It's a little annoying because I think I have a cavity on one of my upper teeth and it hurts to floss, but only at the root of my tooth, haha. I guess that's a good thing? Pain : Only after ortho adjustments. No r...
