Sunday Night

Went to Mass this evening with my bro' Jeremy J. I feel so blessed to still be here.

Came home and my chef, David, had prepared spaghetti. I told him last week when he was force-feeding one of those wretched smoothies to me that the first thing I wanted after getting the jaw released was "Bob's Spaghetti." Bob is my grandfather, and has always made special spaghetti for us. The meal tonight was great!


Love to you all,
Katie

Sunday Update

Dear Friends,

Good morning! Doctors unwired my mouth on Thursday! It feels great!! The wounds on the inside of my mouth are healing nicely! The body is an amazing thing. When I got the screws and rubberbands removed, I couldn't even fit my pinky finger between my teeth.I had lock jaw and scar tissue built up due to my jaw remaining in the same position for 3 weeks! 

After many hot compresses and jaw exercises, I can now open almost my mouth almost a full inch! I'm still limited to liquid and soft foods!! 

Not to mention I suffered with TMJ before the accident. Dr. Craig Landry treated me for TMJ with an orthotic and then I wore braces for 2 & 1/2 years. I just removed the braces in January of this year. Dr. Landry fit me for porcelein crowns, I'm still wearing my temps. The lab called me last week to inform me that my porcelien teeth are ready! I was very disappointed! I had to give the phone to my driver, David. Dr.Landry informed me that II might have to go through the entire 5 year process again! Hopefully it won't take as long to complete! I put all of my trust in Dr. Landry and his wonderful team.  

Feeling well today!  All of your thoughts and prayers must be working! Thanks you so much! This community has really come together and i am honored to live in such a wonderful community!!

Love you all so much!
Katie

Saturday Morning

The Houston gang is in. Mom, my sister and niece, the puppy, and of course me and my Personal Assistant/Cook/Driver/etc. - all in my condo. Crowded, yes, but I enjoy being the center of their attention. Even Pumpkin (the puppy - name selected by me) is lounging at the foot of the bed, just watching me.

Breakfast? I never knew scrambled eggs could taste SO good!

We all got our hair done last night at Amy's place - Karma Hair Salon - and are feeling very stylish today. Looking forward to a great day with the fam and friends - my friends are "Katie-sitting" so Mom and David can have a date night.

Trying on clothes - mixed blessing. With the "diet" I've been following, I've lost a lot of weight, and nothing fits. Sounds like a shopping trip will be in the cards.

See you at the stores.
