One year anniversary, checking in

January 20, 2004

Hi all you " old " timers! I see Irish, Cammie and Cheryl are still on

board. Report: The bite is still dead on. The surgeon and the

orthodontist are pleased. My tmj's are a WHOLE other story. Still

wearing a splint 24/7 and go to Gainesville once a month for

adjustments. Most day are painfree as long as I behave. (no wide

opening or heavy chewing)Christmas time was difficult. TOO many

goodies around!! I've put on alot of weight in the last year. I am

not sure if it's the medication, diet, lack of exercise or possibly

all the above. I still get the occasional burning sensation in my

chin. Which is very strange since I only ever had one tiny spot under

my chin that was numb. My smile has been altered, but no one seems to

notice but me. Are there any other January 2003 people here? How is

everyone doing?

Funny story....I went for my annual dental checkup. The new assistant

was going through my chart and came upon some x-rays. She blurts

out, " Oh, my goodness, you've broken your jaw TWICE! " I started

chuckling and had to explain that it was done surgically. She had

tons of questions. Another assistant and the dentist came in and we

just about had a party!!

How everyone is well. Take Care. ~Cindy~
