sick sick sick

I can't even discuss this appt schedule. It's too much to handle. Yes I've added another appt. I've been taking this antibiotic (for the probably sinus infection) and it gave me the worst side effect possible. Ladies- you know what I'm referring to. It downright sucks.

February 20th- Regular cleaning (with my regs dentist)
March 4th- Regular ortho appt
March 6th- Pre-Op appt with surgeon
March 10th- 2nd surgeon appt
March 14th- Ob/gyn
March 17th AM- Ortho is going to remove my wire for my dentist (at a different office, ugh.)
March 17th PM- Cavity filling
March 18th- Ortho to get wire back on and surgical hooks attached
March 22nd- Eye doctor's appointment (yes- it was necessary)
March 24th- JAW SURGERY

So I'm off to walk across town to the Ob/gyn during my late lunch break in a few min. Funny story- I was trying to get an appt. at my regular office (which is east of the city), and they didn't have any openings today. I was kind of freaking out, but then I mentioned that I worked downtown and they were like OH we have an opening at our downtown office (like 4 blocks from my work) and it just happened to be with the same lady who delivered Amelia. And my former co-worker's sister. Whom I love. So it all worked out. I just wish I didn't have to go in the first place.

Making soda bread for an Irish feast this weekend at my mom's. Trying not to over do-it on the food... but c'mon... who knows the next time I'll be able to eat normally....

My sinuses started to randomly drain yesterday. Finally. I'm not feeling sick really, just runny nose and sore throatish. Taking sudafed to not blow my nose every five min. So if that's not mostly cleared up by Monday, I'm going to have to call the surgeon. Just praying that it'll be okay and we don't have to postpone anything.

The hubs is FLU sick... I'm hoping I don't get it. I've been diligently washing my hands and wiped down the entire kitchen/bathroom yesterday. Might have to do it again tonight if I get the chance.

Just sick all around. :( Makes me so angry. I've never been this sick in my life. I've been basically sick with some type of ailment since the middle of January. I know it's probably Amelia's fault but I can't blame her, haha. Everyone around me has been so sick though. It just seems to be hitting harder than any other year. Maybe it's this crazy weather. Regardless...I'm just over it.

Something happy- I think on Sunday I'm going shopping for post-op supples! Kind of excited about that... haha. Cya!

Current bite:

I realized that the reason my gap has closed a little is because of the tooth that got pulled on my right side. I'm still bummed about it. Maybe implants in the future. Like 10 years in the future. Or maybe when we're done paying for Amelia's college education. ;) 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...

Surgery date soon to come!!!

I'm too excited to wait to post... I will be getting a surgery date THIS WEEK! My orthodontist met with the surgeon on Friday and they said I'm "officially" ready!! They called me at like 4:30 on Monday afternoon and told me to call the surgeon. Even though I had an 8 a.m. appt on Tuesday morning at the ortho, lol. So I called on Tuesday afternoon and they were like... um we don't even have the paperwork back from their meeting yet- haaaaaa. So they were like- we will call you before Friday. So by FRIDAY I will have a date!!!!! Hopefully. I'm just so excited. And extremely nervous. Mostly nervous. And for the first time in like four months my teeth hurt after the adjustment they did. Yuck. It was hard to chew things yesterday. It's mostly better today though. And as far as breastfeeding goes- my supply dropped when I had a bad illness two weeks ago. So I thought I'd start feeding her formula for one bottle per day to start weaning her, then s...

De-braced!

As of Tuesday- my braces are officially off! :) And let me tell you... I can't stop taking selfies!!! Just minutes after getting out of the orthodontist's office.  Everyone was so excited for me! It took approximately one minute to get them off. That's so crazy! Hurt a little bit, but not much and was sooo quick. Bye bye braces AND arch wire! YUP. You read that right! I don't need an arch wire on the roof of my mouth anymore! He said I should be fine without it!!! So right now I have NO metal in my mouth! *hallelujiah* I have my upper (plastic) retainer. It's amazing and beautiful. Can hardly tell I'm wearing it! I will have to wear both my retainers 24/7 (except for eating and brushing) for 4 months. That's like nothing, haha. I don't have my bottom retainer yet. He asked me if I'm okay with a regular (metal) one for the bottom. I don't even care, haha. So I will be getting that one next week. They said it might be hard to talk wit...
