Hi Everyone!

Sorry for not posting for so long... :oops: It has been a difficult year (the end of the last year and the begging of this one)... Making the story really short; since last November I have been feeling pain in my joints (wrists, fingers, ankles)... and it took five months and a lot of travels and different kind of tests, to get to the conclusion that I have Arthritis (my doctor can't say yet if its Reumathoid Arthritis)... for now is a not specific Arthritis... and the medication that I'm taking is for Reumathoid (to prevent the damage of the joints)

So as you can imagine, my perpective of life and what I can o can't do has change a lot since last year....

Anyway... finally last Friday I got an app. with my ortho (I didn't have one since February, because I wasn't in the city)...
I am using elastics again (rubber bands, or however are they called).. now I know that they are 1/8 heavy ¿? .. but I don't know what it means...

And as you can see... for the first time I got colour ligs up and down!!!!

:banana: :banana:

I really missed you...

Hi Miss Smiley and Denise!!!

Thanks for your kind comments! I love my purple ligs too!!, but next time I'll try to get pink... It's a whole new experience for me to have colours up and down...!

Actually, was a quite a surprise when I got them... My ortho as always showed me the little box full of different colour ligs... and let me choose, as you know, I chose purple... she started putting them on my lowers (nothing new there)... and when she started putting the upper ones... I thought: Is she using colour ligs there? She didn't ask and I didn't know...
But it was something that I was wanting since the begging of my journey...

So I walked out of her office with a WIDE PURPLE SMILE!Image

Kisses, hugs, and tons of Patagonic Love!!

Hi Everyone!

It's been a long time since my last post....

This is my smile today
Image

My bite....
Image

And I'm still using elastics at night forming a triangle....
Image



At first I was really disappointed because my bite wasnt closing fast enough ....

Image



But I think that it has improved a lot....


Bye!
