Surgery date!

The last few days have been a little crazy. On Wednesday night, Becca and I discussed how the surgery would most likely be in September or October. We decided to start planning for the summer and to put the surgery out of our minds...until we got a call on Thursday around 12:30 from Dr. Pipers office. They had a summer cancellation and wanted to know if we were interested. The surgery date is June 11th...less than 4 weeks away. 

We have to be in St. Petersburg by Friday, June 5th for the start of the pre-surgery doctor visits. Friday will be molds, Saturday will be the day for the surgical braces, Sunday will be an off day (I assume), and Monday through Wednesday will include other appointments and pre-surgery testing. Thursday the 11th will be the big day. Bec will be in the hospital over night and released the next morning. We will stay in St. Petersburg for a week after the surgery, and then it's time to come home...

This has been a crazy ride so far. We moved in December, decided to try a new doctor after moving, saw a TMJ specialist on April 2nd, saw Dr. Piper on May 5th, and scheduled surgery for June 11th. I set up the blog thinking there wouldn't be much activity for the next 6 months, but that was a wrong assumption. I'll be blogging a lot over the next few months and truly hope this is an easy way to keep everyone updated. See ya in a few weeks...
