The big day is...... JULY 26, 2014! Having a date makes this whole thing seem real and I can't believe it is happening! Just a bit more than two months away! I was unaware that it was even possible to get a date on the weekend, but I am thankful for it! My husband will have that day off and will hopefully be able to take the following week off with me. We are still trying to figure all that out. This will give me a little over 4 weeks to heal before I have to start my fall semester. Which should be plenty of time. The splint should also be out by the time I start classes as well, which is something I was worried about. I will need to talk to my professors about missing class and taking my finals for the summer semester early. The woman who does the scheduling at the surgeon's office is going to be calling me sometime either this week or next, so I will make another post if there is anything to update on. Also, I have an orthodontist appointment 4 weeks from today, which will be my last regular appointment before surgery. After that appointment, I will have one more before surgery to get the surgical wires and hooks put on. So ready to be in on the other side of surgery! ☺
