I'm having facial surgery December 23

Two years ago, or a little more, to be more precise, my then husband smacked my face and broke two of my teeth.
What I didn't know then, is that when he did that, he broke the pins that were holding part of my jaw together from when my "father" broke my jaw the Christmas I was 13.
Since I have a deathly fear of Dentists, I have not been to get these two teeth repaired. And, unfortunately, that was the wrong thing to do.
I went to the Dentist two weeks ago (with much fear and trepidation, and I almost threw-up on the poor guy), and he tells me that I must have these two teeth removed by a surgery, and will probably have my jaw wired shut afterwards, to help with the healing.
I'm gonna need a blender and a straw to be able to eat my Christmas dinner
That was the only appointment in the next year that was available, too!

In other news, I think I have found a place to move to!!!!!
I hope so, anyway!
I've had no water again all day, and I am really fed up with these horrid people that treat me and my children like unwanted viruses.
I don't know how anyone could have such a lack of conscience as to let a single Mom and her children live in such inhuman conditions

My s just got home from school, so I had better go.

Gee Karen , you really are a survivor! Really hope things go smoothly & with a minimum of discomfort..also hope that you get that blender & the new accomodations (& that those s behave 1/2 decently.)

I hope your health can stand for you to lose weight because you probably will! Sounds like an ordeal - most of it waiting with the jaw wired.....Do you like milkshakes?

I'll be hoping you can move, that would help so much!
Best of Luck on that!

I hope you are feeling better than a couple weeks ago.

Thanks to both of you

I am not really feeling better, only different
I'm sort of lost and confused, I guess. I know I have a lot to face in the next while, and I hope I am up to it

I actually LOVE milkshakes

I posted a reply on my journal entry called "death", too, if you're interested.

When will you find out about the new place? That's great news. You need to get away from there.

And even though the surgery will be hard on you, I'm sure the end result will be beneficial. You've been through so much, it's time ofr the pendulum to swing in the other direction.
