This is totally predicable - now that school's in session, I'm utterly consumed by my teaching, research, and service duties. Such is the life of an academic. At least, this is my excuse for not blogging recently.
Last week I had an appointment with Dr. Asdell. He said my recovery is going so smoothly that he doesn't need to see me again until my braces are off once and for all. I still don't know when that's going to be (I'm too chicken to ask Dr. Wong).
So, I've been thinking about what to do with this blog. I never meant to blog about having braces. I guess that's because it's a boring story to tell: Have an adjustment, experience some pain and discomfort the first few days, and notice your teeth have moved a little bit. Repeat story line. Of course, I'm only speaking for myself here and I don't mean to offend anyone who wants to blog about having braces. It's just not a story I want to tell.
Long story short, I'm signing off for now. But I'm not saying goodbye just yet. I still read everyone's blogs!! And I'm always available online if you ever want to leave a comment. You can also email me at mverges5@yahoo.com.
I figure that I'll write one last post when my braces come off. And I promise to be in all my toothy glory, sans braces! :0)

I agree, we are pretty boring these days with the adjustment stories! As far as when you get your braces off...you won't know if you don't ask!! When is your next appt? I wouldn't think you would have that much to go since your teeth were so straight to begin with. I hope your students are doing well so far. Keep in touch my friend!
I know. I'm a chicken! I promise to ask my OD next month when I go in for my appointment. I promise!

Yep, after the gruesome bits are done, there's just not so much excitment going on anymore.. my blogging has slowed down too. Braces stories can't even compare! :-)
I hope teaching is going well, and life in general even better!

I'm happy to hear that all is well! I asked my ortho when my braces could be coming of and he didn't give me much of an answer! lol, and now I can't rally ask him again. I don't want to seem too desperate!
Anyway, I'd love to see some updated pictures of you.
I'd love an update!! come baaack, Michelle!! :P
