Tuesday May 22, 2007

I wish I had more to report but I guess I have just settled into a daily routine that doesn't have many new things to report.

EXCEPT I do have to say that my orthodontist is pretty darn cool. I got to see her this weekend, to me it was like a "house call". She was up here in Seattle this weekend for an orthodontist convention. We had agreed to meet while she was in town so she could check my teeth. I spoke to her a few times while I was in the rehab hospital. She would call to check on me every now and then even after I had been discharged.

She said things looked great (teeth very clean. in fact, she said cleaner than most her patients who have the full use of both their hands). It's been very challenging to floss my teeth with the use of mainly one hand. But if I can do it, then everyone should be flossing their teeth, no excuses!

She changed the wires on both top and bottom, and gave me more rubber bands. I'm still on track for getting them off next month before the wedding.

So my teeth are pretty sensitive, but right now what is one more thing?

We agreed to have them taken off before the wedding, teeth whitened, fitted for a permanent retainer top and bottom all on the same day.

I'm very excited about it among other things. So I plan on being in her office for full day. Hope I don't hurt too much when it's all over. But I am looking forward to it.
