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!

Is it just a bit exciting to be able to go " Yes! It has begun!" ?
Spacers = evil, if for no other reason that they're annoying. I swear they put us through them to determine if we're willing to go through with the whole sha-bang :)
Congratulations! I know the first few days of healing after the surgery are tough, but so many of us have been there and are here to offer you words of encouragement.
I am so happy for you!!! With the weather getting cold, I'm going to try to make a soup every weekend. If I stumbe on to one that is good enough for you, I will share. We are here if you need ANYTHING. You are beautiful inside and out, but I don't think you know that. I hope that after this is all over, you see what I have seen for years.
Ugh! my spacers have been in for a month.. they are irritating the crap out of my gums now. They come out on friday when the put in the RPE ( 1 whole month early)
But yes it is kinda exciting to know that I am finally starting this....
