FINALLY
      I'm getting braces today and that will start the process to my surgery...8 to 12 months until surgery.  I can't wait to get this all over with.  I've only been out of my splint for a week now and am already taking 4 ibuprofen almost everyday again.  I found a support group online for people who are going through this process as well and i've read that some people go from being completely withdrawn and quiet to very outgoing.  until I have the surgery I know I will be even more withdrawn and tired (from pain) than I am now, but I'm sooo excited for it to be over.  I plan on getting a cute haircut after instead of hiding behind my tons of hair.  I think i'll get my makeup done too...I won't be so ashamed to have someone look at my face.  I am still so angry about all of the pain I'm in because I KNOW it wouldn't be so bad if orthodontist John Smith hadn't slowly and painfully dislocated my jaw.  I want to put up a website about him letting people know what he did so that he loses patients.  Am I a bad person for wanting that?  I apologized to Dr. Gittess for being so panicky when I go there, I don't mean to freak out I know he feels bad for me.  alright, gotta get ready to go...

Hey! Sorry I'm a bit late reading your blog! How did the braces go?
good! they don't hurt, my jaw just hurts...so that's good. :-)
oh man! I really hope your recovery from that Dr. Smith's "treatment" won't be too painful for you, at least it's always good to know you're on your way to being healed.
