My doctor decided to postpone the Saturday afternoon test until lunchtime Sunday. Phew, this morning was a bit rough but I'm glad I made it. Drum roll....my hemoglobin soared to 12.3 today according to my blood work.
I chewed on ice chips in the evenings. The small pumpkin spice latte Saturday morning was a very pleasant reprieve.
The headaches and wooziness weren't THAT bad. During Sunday school this morning I joked with a friend that "water is totally overrated". Of course, at any point I could have broken down and chugged a liter. It was never a dangerous situation - my physician monitored me about every 3 hours via interview. The nadir was my constant whining to my husband, "Honey, i'm thirsty...do you think I could grab a little glass of...?" I would not recommend this route to someone else, but I would repeat it if necessary.
Tomorrow I chat with the OS.

thoughts on my journey with adult braces, my growing family, and my acceptance of jaw surgery. I'm having a one-piece Lefort I, and BSSO to correct my Class II malocclusion and retrognathic mandible, maxilla hyperplasia, slight crossbite/openbite, and breathing issues. Translation? Overbite, recessed chin, and a gummy smile...mostly due to mouth breathing

About Me
- Katherine
- South Carolina, United States
- I am 32 year old woman, happily married with three young children, embarking on adult braces after years of "thinking about it". I did not expect to have jaw surgery but am delighted with the results. ...now I am 34 and have welcomed another child into our home! Babies and Braces will remain up for a bit to encourage other adults embarking on the same journey.

Sometimes you do what you've got to do, right? Chances are pretty good, were we in your shoes and the option presented intelf, we'd be doing the same thing :)
Glad those numbers are up!
