Weird...Very Weird

So I went to the surgeon yesterday. I explained to him my dilemma about the progressive crookedness of my bite which I thought was due to the rubber bands. He suggested we take the bands out and see how my bite is. Voila! It lined up!! I wasn't crazy!! He asked me if it was a progressive move, or if it was instantaneous. I said it was fine on Thursday and Friday. He told me the reason he put the bands in as he did was cause the muscles in my face were not lined up, so he was concerned it was going to try and pull it back to the asymmetry I had before. It worked, but they were now over-correcting. So lets try without any bands for a few days and see how you are. Okie! I made a nervous joke about how I thought I would need to be rewired, he said well we're not out of THOSE woods just yet.....Craptastic.

And here I am. I have an appointment tomorrow @ 10am with him to see what the deal is. If I can start with some at-home mouth PT and schedule an appointment with the orthodontist, who I miss dearly. I want to get rid of the damn hooks. STAT!!

I have successfully eaten mashed potatoes and various macaroni's. Its usually a messy task, since I really don't know what the feeling in my jaw looks like, so I require mirrors to watch and some sort of bib/cloth to catch the rogue pieces of food. You can laugh, its funny.

Other than that life is dull. I started work yesterday, it's as uneventful as I left it. Everyone freaking out about job security. Honey, its not just you....Its everyone in this silly country. Just keep your head down and do your job, we'll get through it. If its not meant to be a career path here, then it just will be someplace else. Meh*. I don't worry too much about it. Life goes on. I need to learn how to use my face first.

I'll let you all know how my appointment goes tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that I stay wire/band/erroneous appliance free!!!



* I can use that word now spell check!! It's been added to the official dictionary!! Eat it!! :-P
