Yikes!

Okay, it's been 2 years since posting on this blog. Man, have I been away.
So, to catch up a little, lets talk about what I am dealing with now.
It's July so I am enjoying the summer. Since I work for a preschool closed during the summer, I am able to spend that time with my daughter, Autumn, who will be 2 in September. She is precious, but of course, a whole lot of work.
Teething is my least favorite thing in the world when it comes to parenthood.
In addition to time spent with Autumn, I am taking time to travel to Kansas City about every other week to see a doctor in regards to my many small problems contributing to my major problem...my mouth.
I have TMD, or commonly known as TMJ Disorder. I have migranes, head aches, back, shoulder and neck pain, hearing loss and lots of other symptoms related to the fact that my jaw does not work quite as well as it should. I have a mouth piece that has began to contribute to my healing process. Next on the list is seeing the doctor who is adjusting the bones in my neck. With each adjustment, I am sore for about a day..feel better for a few and then somewhere down the road I do something to knock it out of place again. Everything is blending together for a slow healing, but one that I know is in the making.
I will move on to braces in my next steps.
I have to say that my husband has been the most wonderfully and supportive person through everything I have endured in this process. Not everything is pleasant or without pain. He has continually uplifted me and told me that he wants to do whatever we need to in order to make me better. He is a special person, and even more special to me.
Well, that same person is downstairs waiting on me to come to bed, so goodnight for now, and maybe I'll be posting a little more on here lately.
