Hi, .

So far, we're still on for the 8th. I had a meeting with my

orthodontist this afternoon and had my surgical wires but on. (My

teeth are aching! I guess they're not as straight as we all thought!

And now, only two teeth touch (molars on one side, and I can't close

my teeth anymore. Oh well, it'll all be totally different soon.) I

meet with my surgeon tomorrow morning and have my pre-op testing in

the afternoon.

I am trying really, really hard to be positive about this whole " not

knowing what's going on " thing, but it's hard. Today has been

particularly hard since my ortho told me he hadn't heard anything from

the surgeon (he *assured* me he'd call and take care of

everything!!!!!) I actually growled when the ortho told me the surgeon

hadn't called. So then the ceph machine was broken at the ortho's

office (and also my surgeon's), so no ceph was taken and no drawings

can be made! So, we'll see what happens tomorrow and if we're still on

for the 8th!
