Update..

I had a visit with Dr Taub , the surgeon , yesterday.  He said everything looks good!   Took a quick X-ray to make sure everything was healing properly,   He said he agreed that 4 more weeks until braces sounded right and is about text book, that would put me three months post surgery and said..see you in three months to see how your doing.

Today it was back to Dr Tunjay, the orthodontist,  to get my retainer.  Much more stable than the temp one I had. This one also has a fake tooth in the front for me which is so much better than the gap.  When I was ready to leave he said 5-6 weeks I will see you to put the braces on..I said that is what you said 2 weeks ago..we should now be at 4 weeks..no more like 5-6... I said ok I will meet you in he middle.  So I go back in 5 weeks on Feb 18th for my braces...next step here we come!

My teeth are still feeling weird.  I want to go to the dentist for a cleaning but really can't imagine what that would feel like right now.  Brushing or using the waterpik feels weird.  I am still mostly eating softer food but I am chewing.  Noting like chips or bacon..which I had tried to eat but it did not ok out so well...

So probably no updates for a little while unless there are some changes ...
