Hello All,

I decided to update you guys on my visit with the oral surgeon since this is actually going to affect my voice acting performance. Plus a lot of you on here I consider you my friends and want to keep you guys updated.

I went to consult with my oral surgeon today. And I got to say, he is a really amazing man and has very wonderful staff. He is going to remain my oral surgeon should I need work in the future. Hoping I don't obviously, but you never know.

I went in, and filled out all my forms and everything. And I go in and they take this panoramic xray, which is pretty cool. But before I could do that, I had to try to take my studs out. That was a bitch. My mother, who was nice enough to take me to the oral surgeon today, had to help me get them out. But they did indeed come out and I got my xray.

Anyway, the way the xray works is you stand up and bite down on this thing and you have to hold onto this bars as you sort of try to lean back a little and grin. My legs actually felt like they were worked out from that. Then this bars go all the way around your head while you try to remain as still as possible to get an amazing shot. Thankfully I only had to do it once it was only for about a minute or two. Then the lady escorted me back to the room and I sat and waited for the surgeon who actually attended to me very quickly.

Now, he explained the procedure to me. He said that thankfully this is actually going to be an easy procedure for him to do and will only take about half an hour to perform. He told me the aftercare, and said I may need some stitches but they are dis-solvable ones so I don't need to come back again.

Then we talked about price. He said that normally he charges $725 for this type of procedure. He said that because of my referral he would drop the price from $725 to $430. Which is really amazing. And to be extra nice because I have no insurance and I have to pay for everything out of my own pocket he only charged me today for the xray. So instead of having to pay $270, I only need to pay $140. Which was really nice of them, and I was really appreciated it. It took a ton of stress off me and now I know for a fact that I can afford to do this.

Not only did that happen to me today, but my amazing boyfriend  portzebie wired me $200 to help pay for the bill. He also said that if I needed the money, he would try hard to auction off more commissions for my oral surgery. Please go bid on his originals! http://www.furbuy.com/seller/portzebie.html. Only two days left and they are at really cheap starting prices.

Then finally, I got a really huge surprise. My mother gave me $200 and said "Keep it, Happy Birthday". I obviously thanked her profusely. And then, she said to me on the way home. "My friend John got me these 14k gold diamond earrings, but I have no desire to get my ears pierced in life. I will give them to you, but don't lose them." I was just overjoyed. So I said I would take them and they are currently in my ears now and look fabulous!

So thankfully for me today was a good day after all.

Though for the people of Japan and everyone in the Pacific you have my prayers. I feel so horrible for the families and friends who are trying to contact their loved ones and having those worries.

I hope all my friends are safe and sound, and everyone gets connected with their loved ones. As much as death is a very mournful thing and I wouldn't want anyone to die, I think it is worse to not know how a loved one is than to hear that they passed away.
