Surgical Hooks are evil!

Well not super evil, but a little bit for sure! My lower lip feels sortof like hamburger today. One little hook in particular keeps poking into it. One on the top is also bugging me. A student at school today said "Mrs D are your braces bugging you today? You keep doing this weird thing with your lip" I hadn't really noticed I had been doing anything strange, however, I did have to keep disconnecting my lip from the hook so I suppose I was probaby looking pretty odd at times. I explained that my top lip keeps getting stuck on my new hooks and then she understood. Eating has also become more unpleasant (as if it wasn't enough so already) between the powerchains and the hooks there are more places for food to get stuck, and to have to clean out afterwards. It is very annoying!

On another note, I got some very good news today. No explanation as to why it has happened, but my DHEA levels are now back to normal. My doctor isn't sure why but she said no further testing is necessary at this point as things appear to have fixed themselves. I'm thinking perhaps it has been the medicine that has reduced my cortisol, or that it is linked to all the pre surgical supplementation I have been doing. A vitamin deficiency perhaps? Whatever it is I will take it, I feel great everything appears to be normal, and my cholesterol is low now too, oh and my heart palpitations are now nonexistent also. Life is good, as good as it gets really! At least for another 12 more days! :)
