Midline situation: OOOOO.... ahhhhhh... (click to enlarge if reading is difficult...first endeavour with 'Paint'....I'll learn! Also please keep in mind this pic doesn't have my mouth in 'square' , to which my carpenter husband gasps in horror..)
I'm operating under a lot of assumptions right now. (And if it weren't for my car ~figuratively speaking~ blowing up the day before my last scheduled appointment -which I therefore missed; facilitating the need to reschedule said appointment to a later date -which is coming up on the 16th *takes a breath*) I will hopefully have a few of these assumptions clarified or mooted when I next see Dr. K. I'll give you an example:
As of my June appointment, I was told molds were to be taken late July and sent to OS for progress report. This didn't happen which was a bit of a let down. Instead all energies have been focused on closing that dreaded gap 'downstairs' with the comment that when this was closed, THEN we'd do molds for OS. My question: What changed? Was original plan to carryout Operation Jigsaw first, then close spaces? (Irregardless of answer, it is obvious that plan now is to close all gaps before OJ)
It doesn't really matter in the end except that I like knowing - I'm part of this team, right? I think I'll (politely) request more information, and reassure that there's nothing they can say to creep me out or scare me sleepless. Got that out of the system checking out some of the scary links (do not underestimate the power of images!!!!). It bothers me much more not to know. At least give me something to be looking for as accomplishment, no matter how small or seemingly irrelevant, to cheer along the way.
That and I REALLY want to see my OS again; our little 'love triangle' is much cozier when the other two aren't doing all the yacking behind my back~ Share the love! I felt prepared when I met him the first time, but now I have better, more numerous and much more specific questions to ask.
Guess we'll find out on Monday!

Wow, those chompers are looking gooo-oood! Sigh. I love progress.
ReplyDeleteHere's the real question... how was Jamaica!!!
Whoa! Look at those lovely arches!! Those are some great changes!
ReplyDeleteI love that you call it operation jigsaw. Aptly hilarious :)
I agree with you completley about liking to know everything that's going on with my face/jaw. I like to know what wires are going to do, when things are going to happen, etc. (I'm a bit type A, what can I say?).
Can't wait to hear what they say on Monday! It's too bad your car picked that day to poop out.
Oh, and thanks SO MUCH for all the lovely comments. You are so amazing! I am lucky to have found you (or maybe you found me, but either way I was lucky).
:)
I did forget to comment on that, Holly! Jamaica actually fell through due to only 2 seat left on the plane & 3 of us travelling..... so we went 5 star Punta Cana, DR instead~ the fun of travelling last minute!!! I'll have to pick the brain & try to remember a braces moment.....
