T-9 Days

My surgery is next Wed., we've been through this song and dance before but I think this time it's going down. I went to see Dr. Simon a few days ago for my broken bracket. She replaced the bracket and put the surgical wires back on with the hooks. She wanted to get a little room in between my incisors for Dr. Franco. I have an appointment with him this Wed. for molds. It's funny because last time I felt very consumed by the surgery. It was hard to concentrate as I got closer to the date. But this time, I'm barely thinking about it. I keep forgetting it's coming up. I guess it doesn't feel real or maybe it feels like it already happened because I was just out for surgery 6 weeks ago. Also, there are a lot of things going on at work and I've been really busy and I don't want to leave work right now. There's never a good time to take 3 weeks off work I guess. I still have all my stuff from last time. I have a couple pairs of button down PJ's, a hand mirror, a small flashlight, Vaseline, face wipes, a jaw bra that I bought online. It came with pockets for the cold/hot packs. I used it the whole week I after my TMJ surgery.

I also bought a HoMedics Swedish Massage Pillow with a heat button because after my TMJ surgery I had bed sores. I think that's about it. I learned after the TMJ situation that I didn't really like any of the food I'd gotten for myself. The applesauce and eggs were good but I hated almost all the soups except pacific tomato. So, I'll just stick to that and the juices with collagen powder and whey protein shakes.
