Hola, readers. How are you? I'm fantastic!
Last Thursday I went to see my surgeon again. This time there wasn't much of a wait and once he saw me all he did was poke around in my mouth for a minute and call me "Superstar." I'd say he's proud of his work.
That night my friend and I went to the movies. Not only did nobody look at me weird, but I ate popcorn!
It was great!
Today I had an appointment with my orthodontist. Everyone wanted to know how things went and they all said I looked great. I think so too! They didn't want to upset my mouth just yet so they didn't actually do anything. To be honest, I think he just wanted to see how it looked. Dr. T says I've got 3mm of overjet now, which is an overbite. He says it's not ideal, but it's better than where I was before the surgery. My surgeon thinks I'll probably grow some more and my mandible will grow with it, so hopefully that means it grows a little, but less than 3mm, lest I have to undergo another jaw surgery. I'm pretty sure the only person in the office who didn't care, or didn't know, was the stud-muffin intern who hasn't been there that long. He's hilarious; he comes out to call people to the back and, like, props himself up in the door way with his arms all above his head, and he's always telling the assistants stuff like how he drove through the drive-thru and forgot to order. Anyway, I'm supposed to go back next month before school starts so I'll let you know how that goes.
Other than that, the only thing I need to say is that I'm going out of town this week and then again next week so there won't be any posts unless I do one Saturday. The thursday after next I have another appointment with my surgeon and believe you me I will try to do a post then too.
Toodles!
