When Penny (the surgical assistant) did the upper models of my teeth i nearly choked and hyperventilated while the tray was in my mouth. Talk about traumatic!!! The mold debacle was followed by the not-so-lovely facebow (see picture). I think this was a torture device back in the day. I also think that they could use it in the school to control the bad kids. They use it to measure the dimensions of your face so they can recreate your face when you aren't in the office. The worse part of the facebow is that the part in your ears is placed so tight it hurts at times. Especially if you have it on for longer the 15 mins and you are waiting for the Dr. to come in. I was told everything turned out ok but that they would call me back if they had to. I ended up going back 2 more times after that 4 hour appointment. The first time they did the facebow again and I had it on for almost 30 mins. The second time I had to redo molds. 3 TIMES!!! Usually this is something the Dr. defers to his assistants but 2 of them I had to do with him and he didn't care about choking me. So yes that was not fun but when I was leaving I told them if they need to call me back let me know because I want everything done right.I pre-registered at the hospital last Thursday. I'll be staying there overnight this Thursday. I should be staying somewhere on the 4th Floor of RHD Hospital in Farmers Branch. If this changes I'll let yall know or you can call the cell.
This will be my primary blog through this process. I hope to take a picture of my self each day through my recovery to track the progress. As I sign out for now I'll be posting my initial pictures and simulations of what I should look like after healing from the surgery. These were taken last April.
