My first attempt at blogging

By the time I have surgery in December I will have been in braces for 14 months. I will be having upper and lower jaw surgery along with genioplasty to correct my "skeletal deformity" as my surgeon so delicately puts it. I had braces about 20 years ago and opted not to get this surgery done then, mostly out of fear. I am now ready and excited about the prospect of my teeth touching in the front and having a chin. I scheduled all my pre-op appointments yesterday and arranged to donate my own blood just in case I might need some. My mom lives nearby and my aunt will be coming into town to help us out with the kids just after the surgery. My next appointment with the oral surgeon is on November 23rd to take my final impressions and x-rays. Anyway, if you are reading this I will try and give as many details as I can think of as I go through this process. There probably wont be anything too exciting on here until I start a lot of my pre-op stuff.
