This time is coming up so fast! I still can't believe what has seemed to take forever is finally here. I have been thinking over and over all day of things that need to be taken care of before I leave, and trying my best not to forget anything. I really hate leaving my boys but I know they'll be fine, we are blessed with wonderful family. Our boys have been so sweet about this, but I don't make a big deal out of it because I don't want them to worry about me. I'll be having the surgery at Carolinas Medical Center University in Charlotte, NC. My surgeon is Dr. Brian Farrell of University Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I know I'm in good hands and from what I hear, they are the BEST of the best! If I'm having both of my jaws sawed off and put back together, I definitely want the BEST, lol. :) I am so thankful I will have both my Husband AND my Mama there with me. I don't care how old I am, there's nothing like your Mother! :)
Here is an animation that might help you see what I'm having done...pay close attention to the part where they put the braces on and how it straightens the teeth and makes the bite worse in order to prepare the surgeon for correct measurements....
Here's a couple of pictures before braces....
And here's a couple of me as a child...I never really had an underbite until my teenage years....
Thanks for taking the time to keep up with me while I go through this huge stepping stone in my life. I really appreciate all the support and prayers! I'll be back on here soon... :o) God Bless!!
