I'm in the mood for chips... 

Lazy posting.

Late night thoughts last night. That's the photo that went with my post. But hey, follow my Instagram :) @emilepsy  

Birthday :)

Happy birthday to me! I have been on vacation in Texas for pretty much this past month, so I haven't been blogging (oops) but now it's my BIRTHDAY!!!!! :) yay!!!! 

Plan is:

•lunch

•Starbucks

•pedi with mom

•boyfriend cooks dinner 

•movie

•frozen yogurt 

:) 

So as far as TMJ goes-

•still taking klonopin as needed (so rarely) 

•ran out of rubber bands in Texas and had to visit the local orthodontist. 

•still pain in the joint. 

•I've been on a full 5 on the therabite, which is awesome :) 

•it's getting hard to take it out 5 times a day because the amount of time I have is growing, and i wake up at 12 usually (summer/:) so I cant find lots of time to take it out. I've been managing, but on august 1st it goes up to an hour, which will be tough!! 

•can't wait to be only nights :) 

Love you all!!!

Dreaming

So as you probably know by now, I'm on a no chew diet for 6 months. It's really hard, and yes, I do still burst into tears because I see a TV ad for steak, or my family is having burgers while I'm eating noodles or oatmeal. But for the most part, I've gotten used to it. I've never instinctually chewed on anything. I've been good. 

Recently I've been having dreams that I eat a chip and chew on it. Or even something like my regular non-chew meals, and I chew!!!! And even while I'm dreaming (because it seems so real) I freak out and worry because I've messed up the whole surgery!!! It's crazy. It feels like nightmares really.

But anyways I just had to share that because I keep having them and maybe getting it off my chest will make them go away?? Who knows. 

Hope you all had as good of an Independence Day as I did!!
