Well, I'm spending my Friday evening searching YouTube vids on dbl jaw surgery. I don't know if it gets much better, right? It was going great until I stumbled upon a particular video. Not only did I sob through the whole thing, but it really made me think about my own situation. The clip is from a show called "Life Changers" with host Dr. Drew (whom I loveee!). He has people on his show and listens to their specific situation, then helps them out with whatever endeavors they are going through. The particular one I was watching was about a young girl in serious need of double jaw surgery. Her insurance was not willing to pay and her parents could not begin to afford this almost $50,000 surgery. Dr. Drew and his connections surprised her, agreeing to take care of the whole process including the braces! Her story really got to me. I felt her sadness because I, too, feel like I'm always being gawked at because of my underbite. Eating is hard and the jaw pain is worse. So amazing that she is getting her surgery and braces done. It makes me sad to think that there are people out there that need this process, but yet cannot afford it or their insurance wont cover it. There are people in serious need of medical/orthodontic work that have to go without. I thank GOD that I am fortunate enough to be starting my jaw surgery process.
Here are some links to the YouTube clips!
