Ok guys, I apologize, that I havent been posting for a while, but my life has not been so interesting anyway. I am still doing all the ortho stuff with my teeth, I am still working and I still spend most of my free time with a boring life of a writer, lol.
This is me now. My upper jaw is wider than before and my hair is hennaed red, haha. I love my red hair, even though this pic is freshly hennaed and the color oxidized a little and is darker now. (Excuse the zero makeup bad skin pic, but I am pre-op, I do not care for warpaint atm, also the hair happens to messy after dry-blowing, lol).

Anyway, my teeth are lined up and ready for a new surgery – a maxillary advancement in a Le Fort I line. In other words, they cut my upper jaw off in the same place they did before, but this time they move it forwards and give me an actual bite. I mean hey, I have never had a bite that really touches, it will be a completely new thing for me. Also I am hoping that it will stop all the annoying headaches and migraines I have been having all day the few last months. If things go well, no more dizziness, no moer headaches, no more extremely sore jaws. It will feel like heaven
Another good news is that I actually finished Kiseki, my brand new urban fantasy book, about a week ago and moved to editing. I already have a publisher who wants to give it a try and read through it, so we will see if he likes it or not. I have another one in my sleeve, but the one I am hoping for is one of the biggest publishing houses in my country and I was lucky enough to be able to meet with the director and introduce the idea of my book to him.
Anyway, I am off to hospital tomorrow at 5 pm and my surgery takes place around 8:00 am on Monday the 1st June.
Wish me luck guys, I am going to need it.
PS: Yes, I admit it, I am a little scared here. But trying to stay positive until I wake up from the surgery







Dear Candar
I think your website is terrific. I am a Professor of Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. I am currently writing a textbook for Plural Publishing that is scheduled to be published in early 2010. The book is entitled, “INTRO: A beginner’s guide to communication sciences and disorders”. The book is geared toward freshman/sophomore students who will eventually become speech-language pathologists. One of the chapters covers genetic/chromosomal conditions that may contribute to a communication disorder. I have a small section of the chapter dedicated to Crouzons. I would be happy to share a draft of this chapter with you. In addition, I think it would be terrific to include a photo (or two) of your simply amazing surgeries. Would you mind contacting me and we can discuss this possibility? Best wishes…Mike
I think you are beautiful and nothing is impossible with God on your side. I have a grandson born on April 26, 2009 Apert Syndrome which is very simular. He soon will be going thru continuous surgeries and I hope his outcome is as well as yours.
Lookin good! Nice blog.
