What's the phrase again?

One step forward and 2 steps back? Or something like that...

Ugh...So I went to the Elliot today. Haven't been there in 4 weeks. I was a ball of emotions, excited, scared, nervous, and just tired. Let's just say this appointment did not disappoint. Good news first, I no longer need to carry some sort of surgical tool with me. This includes clamps, cutters, hooks, or syringes. Sweet right? I am down to one rubber band, the ginormous one in the front. Sweet right? Well wait. Apparently there was a cute little conversation between my surgeon and my orthodontist in between my last appointment and this one. She is not overly happy with the results, he is. So what does that mean? Well if the conclusion is that ok we aren't happy and we need better, that's another face breaking. Yeah, ANOTHER jaw surgery. Am I up for that? I don't know yet. I see the orthodontist tomorrow, and I suppose that will be the topic of discussion. I really cannot assess if I think I need another surgery until it all settles in. And not surprisingly, I am not fully healed yet. I am better than I was 4 weeks ago, but I think it will be another 4 weeks before it's all solid. I most certainly do not want my mouth wired shut for another 6 weeks, but if that's the way I need to go, then so be it.

Gah....And here I was hoping my ortho appointment tomorrow I would be able to discuss getting these godforsaken things off. Maybe I still will.

On top of that I got a cute bill in the mail today. $852.91....for the wham-bulance ride when I totaled my car. Hell if I would have known it was going to be that much, I could have just walked home. I knew I wasn't hurt. I was like 3 miles away from my house. Note to self: no more wham-bulances. I think Amica would still pay for it, but I dunno, its over a month later that these retards send me the bill. Jeez their billing system is worse than Fidelity's ;-)

I am also trying to fight a cough/cold...I may be winning, but I am not going to count my chickens before they hatch. I will be in bed early tonight...dreaming sweet dreams that I will wake up tomorrow and feel like a million bucks. Working out usually helps with clearing me out, and thankfully I have dance tonight. (East Coast Swing is quickly becoming one of my favorites)

I will let you all know how the orthodontist goes tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed
