I AM HAVING SURGERY THIS FRIDAY.
So much has happened in the past year, I don't even know where to start. I did get used to the braces, started a new job, changed some schooling plans, had loads of fun with the insurance company, and I even switched surgeons. When I say a lot has happened, I mean A LOT.
Braces have been one of the easier things in my life this year. Besides getting carded every time someone even thinks I'm going to possibly order an alcoholic beverage, they've become part of my every day life and sometimes I don't even think about them. I definitely feel like I look younger, but I know it's only temporary and will be worth it in the end.
I started a job in the front office of a pediatric and family medicine office and I love it. I have learned so much since I started working there in September and I can't wait to continue my journey with them until I start school. I plan on starting nursing school in the fall at a community college in my area. I had to take off this whole year due to the surgery... which totally sucked because I should be graduating right now!!
My surgery is now officially, 100% for sure, scheduled for this Friday, March 24th with Dr. John Zuniga at UT Southwestern. He is my new oral surgeon that Dr. Bates had to refer me to after insurance would not cover the hospital he had privileges at. It was extremely frustrating and confusing at first, but now I'm really thinking it was an act of God. I feel much more comfortable with Dr. Zuniga. He's confident and answers all my questions without even taking a moment to think. I am really looking forward to putting this surgery behind me. The anxiety and emotional stress has really taken a toll on me these past few weeks, but I think I am in a good place now. Friday could not come soon enough!!
I'll be posting all about my recovery the next few weeks. I hope that all my trials and tribulations can help someone else going through this one day.
