I will be a little late, this week was just not conductive to cooking. I got my eyes dilated yesterday and well they stayed that way until bed time, 4-6 hours my foot. Today I had my first meeting with an oral surgeon. It turns out that I will need both upper, Le Fort I Osteotomy and lower, Mandibular Sagittal Split Osteotomy jaw surgery. I will meet with 2 more surgeons later this month.
My lower jaw is to short, I have been unhinging my jaw to talk, eat, yawn and many other things. I knew that my lower jaw would need to be moved forward but the fact that my top teeth do not touch in the right places was a surprise. I can get one to touch right but the other does not touch at all and vice a versa.
The part that will be tha most fun is that for six weeks after the surgery I will have to change my diet. To start for the first few weeks I will be on a liquid diet, then a very soft food diet working my way up to cruncy foods. I am sure that at the end of that I will really want some nachos. The good thing is that this will not be happening for a few months to a year.
As a bright and shiny distraction I have the quilt I finshed last month for my neice's birthday.

I hope all is well with your mouth. My daughter had to go through a few things to correct her underbite but it's easier at 13 then when your an adult. Take care and hope to see you next TWD.

I'm sorry about the oral surgery, and I hope you heal quickly! The quilt is just beautiful! I like to sew and quilt, but it's hard to find the time sometimes!
