I had another appointment on Monday and this time they said if I am able to schedule an appoint sometime between the next two weeks with my Ortho, then schedule an appt. with them the same day, I’ll be able to remove my splint! I was finally able to drive myself during that Monday appointment because my parents had work. It felt good getting out of the house for once because I’ve just been inside for the most part while I recovered. I was luckily able to obtain one this coming Monday, Dec. 12th. So come that day, I’ll have to drive an hour to the hospital, drive back, wait a few hours then drive a short 10 minutes to my Ortho. And when all is said and done, I will have my splint removed and a new top wire on my braces!
The doctors had to unfortunately cut the top wire in half in order to fit the splint in during surgery.But if all goes well, I will be able to start eating soft foods with my splint off, like soup, mashed potatoes, and all that good stuff! Just in time too, because I want to know when I’ll be able to eat some Pringles. I’ve been starting to crave hard foods this past week. Being on a liquid diet was difficult, but I am almost done with it! =)
I will most likely post pics during next week.
