teeth

What do you think about my teeth, the squint-ness of them has bothered me for a long time and i decided I should see someone about getting them straightened, which I did.  Technology has moved on somewhat since I was young and they have invisible braces now so you dont have to look like a metal mickey/brace face!!

However, "invisaline" will not work on my teeth and the orthodontist doesn't recommend the ceramic pale version of the metal wires as they are awkward and stain.  So it is metal braces, but that is not the only part, to move my bite into place they need to move my jaw and I have 3 options

a - Have teeth removed

b - have jaw surgery

c - get a herbst brace

So as you can imagine, I am still thinking, and may keep on thinking for some time to come, 

I am actually scared shitless about the brace not really as concerned about the metal wires as I know they do hurt,

so metal braces for 2 years

a herbst appliance for 9 months

and a cost of $4500

I will continue to "think"

what do you think?? Would you do it!

a busy time

wow, what a busy time just now both good and bad, firstly, I have to mention Johnny who is struggling with his health at the moment but the doctors feel he is on the right treatment and that his pneumonia will soon be away, it must be hard for him, being alone, and vulnerable and not used to hospitals but he has some good friends checking on him as well as his mum!!

Get well soon Johnny!!

I also started my new job as a district nurse, full of nerves and wonder of how it will be but hopefully it will be great, I worked yesterday and then again thursday and friday! I will also still be working at Marin General so i hope I am not taking on too much - only time will tell, my bank account could definitely do with a boost!!

Happy Halloween

This time of year is full of excitement and wonderment, especially as the children discover the world of "pumpkin Patches" and "halloween"

Nathaniel has had a lot of fun going trick or treating and dressing up as well as carving and icking his own special pumpkin on a field trip with his school.

Today was lovely to see all the parents turn up to see the kids in their mix with their friends and watch them show off their costume.

Today was also the first time it has rained since March - although we desperately need rain couldnt it have waited until tomorrow?????

Happy halloween
