! Re: 6 mos post op......Braces off!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I am so thrilled to read your post today! You are free!

Congratulations!

So many folks who got their surgeries last spring and summer have

just recently gotten their braces off ... Marsha, Donna ... for two.

You have been through so much and without reading about yours and

Netalee's multiple surgeries, I'm not sure I could have done it

again. You were/are an inspiration to me. I'm a bit over 2 weeks

postop to fix the midline, and so far things look good to me. I'm

feeling tired, but good. I can't say this surgery was easier than

the first, but things are OK.

And then you get a promotion! This is truly a great time for you!

Congrats on that as well and enjoy!

Imagining what braces-free feels like,

Irish!
