Wow...I want to comment, but I'm sort...Andrea,<br /><br />Wow...I want to comment, but I'm sort of at a lost for words...Other than to say, that your feelings about healthcare professionals (HCP's) are a MIRROR of mine. I TRULY believe that no one advocates better for our own health than US!!! That said, I try so hard not to paranoid about HCP's being incompetent and/or uncaring. But it's HARD. This is OUR body, and no amount of medical training on their part will compensate for feeling what we feel.<br /><br />I don't think I've addressed your question about what I'm feeling regarding my inevitable re-do...<br /><br />My emotions are a mixed bag. At times, it makes me sad and frustrates me that I couldn't be born with normal jaws/teeth. Then, NONE of this would even be necessary.<br /><br />At other times, I've come to accept the fact that God makes us all how we should be, and he helps us find the strength/courage to get through whatever dosen't kill us (LOL!).<br /><br />At times, I begin to wonder...IF the surgeon made a mistake (which I am almost CERTAIN he has), and he has 35 years experience, then WHO, in the world, would be able to fix me properly??<br /><br />At moments, I am totally afraid...The million "what if's" of surgery run through my head.<br /><br />At most of all...I just want this chapter in my life to CONCLUDE. In the healthiest way possible.<br /><br />In fact, I think I'm going to post these comments, because, until now, I've been unable to gather my thoughts without feeling overwhelmed in one way or another.<br /><br />On a rather poignant note....If I WERE born with perfect jaws, and straight teeth, I probably would have never met you...so I guess this isn't the worst thing in the world. :-)Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963787982436154817noreply@blogger.com
