Wow! So much has happened in the last couple weeks.

I started school! Love my classes this year. We are having so much fun! They asked a lot of questions at first about my eye. I explained it's a bobo so I will be wearing a bandaid everyday! They were over it after the first day. They are the first to let me know when my patch is about to come off!! lol! It's really good.

I needed to get back to some since of normalcy. I have a reason to get up, get dressed, and put on makeup. It makes me feel good to get dressed and ready for a new day.

There are good days and bad. I never know. That's the scary part. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's bad! This is all a part of the process. I pray everyday for God to give me the strength to get through it.

I met with Dr. Alford today. He is the plastic surgeon who worked on Carolyn Thomas. Carolyn Thomas' face was blown off by her boyfriend. She had a hole in her face. Dr. Alford was one of the docs on her case. I'm confident that I am in good hands.

He came into the room and had a big smile on his face!! He said I looked great. He is waiting on Dr. Taylor's report. Dr. Taylor is the oral surgeon who will perform my jaw surgery. Dr. Alford said, "He is the captain of the ship right now." It's his call on what happens next.

I meet with Dr. Taylor tomorrow. I'm anxious to get the reconstructive process started!! It's just a waiting game right now. One that I'm not winning.

I know it will all work out the way it is suppossed to. It's all in God's hands. I have to have faith in that! That's what keeps me moving forward.

Thanks again for everything. I will keep you posted.
