Catching Up...

I've  been busy lately so I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  As far as my jaw goes, still numb on my lower left side and my surgeon recently told me it could be permanent.  Great!  I can live with it but it makes me mad that the side I'm having problems with is the side the other doctor did.  A guy I've never met.  I did see him talking to the patient in the office the other day and I wanted to give him a piece of my mind.  But the kids were acting crazy and I didn't get a chance.

The pain is back too.  I went to my ENT in one last effort to make sure my ears weren't the problem.  I saw a PA named Chad because my doctor was on vacation.  Chad suggested I try a cream that this company developed for TMJ pain that you rub in and numbs the area.  Where were you a year and a half ago Chad?  So I said I would try anything and he put in the order.  The company called me right away and told me my insurance does cover the drug and it would be $50 per month supply.  I ordered just one month to make sure it works.  I should get it today so I will let you know.

As far as life goes, lots of things are happening.  We are selling our house.  It's our first home we bought and before the kiddos.  We are getting granite and stone backsplash put in this week to sell our house faster.  Luckily homes on our neighborhood have been going pretty fast.  But on the downside we will have to live in an apartment for about 4-5 months.  We found a nice complex close to where our home will be and close to Maddie's school so we are hoping to rent there but they only have two bedrooms available.  I'm trying to look at it like an adventure and the fact I won't have much to clean!

I'm also working on my son's 2nd birthday party which is next weekend (his actual birthday is April 9th) and the Rotary golf tournament which is on April 14th.

Braces off in 2 months!  Yea!
