Dates Dates Dates!

So I had an appointment (finally!) with my surgeon, Dr. L, on friday. Turns out I hadn't seen him in a year! I thought I had gone in when I had my braces, but I guess not. So a visit was long overdue. I went in and got x-ray after x-ray taken, and then briefed (again) on whats going to happen before, during, and after the surgery. Then Dr. L came in, took one look in my mouth, and said lets call up the hospital and get her scheduled for mid-july! So- because I have to get it done at the hospital (insurance is a bitch), they have to call and block out a room for me- but I'm either going under the...knife... July 20th or 22nd!

Its about time! I've been going crazy trying to plan vacations and visits and work knowing sometime I would be out of commission for at least a month, but not knowing exactly when. So, 2 months from now I will be recovering from surgery, eating nothing but applesauce and baby food and happily looking like a chipmunk.

So now, I'm tryin to get in the best shape possible before the surgery. At first I was trying to gain wait so I don't look sickly afterwards, but new logic says that it is better (long term) to take this time I have alone to focus on me and my health, and get in shape so not only will I heal faster afterwards, but I will look and feel better too. I've been doing yoga every day, and I feel great! I couldn't do too much today though- i'm starting to feel it. My legs and lower back are KILLING me! And it feels great! Is that crazy? I Love the feeling that you get from being sore after a good workout.

I don't know how my sore legs and gimp will work with working tonight and standing for 6 hours straight, but we'll see. I'm glad its finally warming up- I'm sitting on the back porch drinking the perfect cup of coffee and taking in the humid 80 degree weather, wishing I had time to lay out. Oh well, pool is open now and the kiddies are still in school, so i'm taking over the pool tomorrow. After my orhtodontist appointment! I used to dread seeing Dr. K, but now that i'm in there at least once a week, it means just that much closer to surgery!

I just heard the best song- it completely hit home for me. New favorite song :)

Its called One Day You Will by Lady Antebellum. If i knew how to post videos up here- i'd do it, but if you have time and are into country music you should check it out.

I've got to go start getting ready for work though. Happy Tuesday!
