I'm HEALED!!!

Today I am TOTALLY, 100% HEALED! It has been two years and ten months since my first surgery. I feel FABULOUS and I wouldn't even know I had two major surgeries if I didn't feel so great now (and remember how terrible I felt before meeting Dr. Piper).  I am off all of my prescription medications and I only take a daily multi vitamin and Calcium with Vitamin D. I can eat normally for the first time in almost eight years. My retainer only has to be worn when I sleep. I have no headaches or muscle spasms and ZERO pain!!!

DR. PIPER + DR. JACKSON APPOINTMENTS
I had my 6 month check ups with both Dr. Piper and Dr. Jackson in one day. Everything still looked perfect, so I was cleared to get my braces off and discontinue all of my meds! My only stipulation was having to wear my retainer 24/7 for 30 days. Jay and I were so excited to start a new chapter in our lives, that we booked a trip to celebrate in BORA BORA. Can you see my JOY?



I am SO THANKFUL to God, Dr. Piper, Dr. Jackson, Jay, my family, and friends for helping me through it all. It wasn't an easy path, but it was my path, and I am grateful for the strength and perspective I gained while overcoming so many obstacles along the way. Above all, I know that diligence and faith can move mountains, and mostly, that I am BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE.
