The periodontist appointment went well on Oct. 14th, so my spacers went in on the 15th.  OUCH!  thought I was all fine till I went to bite into a sandwich, wow!  was not expecting that.  Good thing is I had 3 days to try out my liquid diet for surgery in December.  I am now a pro at smoothies.  have come to the conclusion that my nutrition supplement of choice will be carnation instant breakfast and I have a lot of soup to make and freeze.
I had my fitting for my RPE last friday and it will go in on November 14th a full month before my surgery.  That should be fun, a whole month to have a huge piece of metal in my mouth doing absolutly nothing but getting in my way.  But on the brighter side.. I am at least getting somewhere now.  and every step I take is one step closer to finishing this process!
