Before
AfterSo there you have it - the before and after pictures. (The "bars" on the after picture are "Arch Bars." They are stainless steel braces that immobilize the jaw. Patients typically wear the arch bars for about 4 weeks.)
Today was busy. Prior to leaving for the doctor's office, I ventured on my first walk. I had a plan, and over did it. The plan was to walk 5 houses down the hill. I went 7. Upon my return, I crashed for the post walk nap. - Let's just just say that I should have stuck with the original plan. Those 2 extra houses were a killer.
The doctor visit went well. He said all looks good, and come back in a few days. On the way back from the doctor, we stopped at the grocery store to expand my diet. We settled on liquid fruit (8 Oz = 1 complete fruit). The grocery store visit was far beyond what I should have done. We came home, and I only made it as far as the couch before passing out.
In an effort to keep my energy going, I ventured out on a second walk. I had a plan, but ignored it - again. The plan was to go 7 houses up the hill. I went 11.
The weather here in the San Francisco Peninsula has been spectacular. While we drove to the doctor's office, we passed more bicyclists than I've seen in a long while. It's great to see all those people hammering hard up the hills and putting in a few miles for me.
