hey becky girl,

wow that tan was with spf45, you must get really dark with less spf!!

Lucky you! I tan dark on my body like a good ol' mediterranean girl

but on my face somehow i manage to always stay red. must be that

irish blood in me that i inherited from my father.

well i'll keep my fingers crossed that you get that annoying splint

off soon!!! your OD sounds like an amazing woman to be still working

this close to her labour day. how has being back at work been? I am

still in Italy but fly out to NYC tomorrow for a few days. I'm having

my 8 week check up with my OMS and also seeing my OD who needs to

tighten my braces again. I actually can't wait for him to tighten

them because since closing the gaps from where they removed my upper

bicuspids, more gaps have appeared in between other teeth. most

annoying but nothing major to get upset about so i am not

complaining. i am looking forward to being told that i can start

chewing again. At 7 weeks a no chew diet is starting to get old and I

desperately need to start getting some more meat into my diet. I'm

always so weak and tired and I suspect that it's not just the

anesthesia but depleted diet. Still I have been enjoying minced meat

and meatballs all mushed up in tomatoe sauce tremendously!!! I have

to say, the food has been one of the best parts of being back home in

Italy!

Well I'll keep you posted on how my OD app. goes tomorrow (I go

straight to his office as soon as I land at JFK...eeep!) and you let

me know what the news is on the splint front.
