I cannot believe how fast time has gone by! I don't think it has really set in yet that I am having this procedure done and that I will have to make huge adjustments for a few weeks in terms of eating and sleeping. So, what have I been doing? Eating everything! I have had so much Chinese food, deli sandwiches, fried chicken, Reese's, and barbecue ribs this past week its ridiculous. These are my favorite foods and it's going to be tough going so long without eating any of it. I just keep reminding myself that the limited food options won't last long and I will be back to my favorite foods before I know it!
Next week I am wrapping up my summer semester of classes and I have my final orthodontist appointment where I get the surgical hooks installed. I also have a pre-op doctors appointment at the hospital where I am having the procedure to have blood drawn for testing. The lady on the phone said it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to complete everything. I still have no idea what the final costs are, so I have decided to just wait until I get the bills. I have too much going on to call different people multiple times a week leaving messages to return my call. No one will call me back, which is a bit rude. Oh well, in one week I will officially be RECOVERING!
