Uh oh, more waiting..

So after getting extremely excited because tomorrow I was meant to see the surgeon, I got a phone call this morning saying that he was going on holidays. ARGH! I've been rescheduled to the 6th February. Sad face!!! ):

I don't understand why I found out today, or why I was scheduled in if he was going away anyway? Surely they wouldn't sign the paper work for leave the day before? So unorganised, so frustrating. ):

Counting down the days/hours

It's now 2:00am and I'm chilling on my couch after finishing a 5pm-12am shift for stocktake. I wouldn't mind but stocktake is sooo boring! ):
So anyway, I'm sitting here thinking about my first appointment with my surgeon.. It's only a day away if you count yesterday (Monday) as today (Tuesday) being 2 in the morning, If you get what I mean :)

Or, 33 hours away! Wowzers!

I don't know what to expect. I know I need the surgery, however if they don't accept it on the public health system, I won't be getting it. Unfortunately I don't have a spare 50 odd thousand dollars..
I have so many things running through my brain, what do I ask? What can I expect them to look at? What procedure will they determined will be best? Recovery time? bands or wire? what will i look like afterwards? Soooo many questions!

I don't think I'm nervous just yet, just very excited :D

Happy New Year

Sorry I haven't had any updates lately, I went on holidays after Christmas.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Anyway, back to the point. 

I received a letter in the mail for an 'offer of appointment'. I've finally found the right number. The number the orthodontist gave me was correct, but can only be reached through the hospital themselves, so I had to ring up through the switch board & get transferred a few times. Anyway, I've accepted my appointment time & will be getting assessed by a surgeon soon, YAY :)

I will be getting braces hopefully by the end of January/start of February (as soon as the surgeon has had his two cents worth).
