Saw The Ninja (Dr. Quaroni) last week and he said my gums are healthy, everything looks okay and that the bone was good. He even said the bone could take on braces now instead of wait a few more months! I see Dr. Mai next week, so hopefully she'll have some good news for me like, "hey, let's take out that dumb expander and put some new 'jewelry' on you!" A girl can dream, right?
Anyway...the BEST news that came from The Ninja is that he said it was OK for me to start running again!! YYYEEEESSSSS!!! He said I could do all activities (not using my face, of course!) like normal. Those were the words I have been waiting to hear! My body has definitely missed running and oddly enough, my spirit has, too. Running has really done a lot for my life, so not being able to do so has been a little difficult. Not that I'm a fast runner or run races all the time - the point of just being able to be out and doing it matters a lot.
So, I'm happy there have been positive steps (pun intended!) in the right direction. I'll keep hoping for more!
