Yesterday I took the girls down to Oakland for an appointment at Kaiser. India was being evaluated for jaw surgery! To correct her open bite. Her orthodontist isn't happy with the job the implants are doing and suggested we get on the list for surgery--it's about a 6 month wait.
On one hand we have the insurance (it's about a $10,000 operation) and it would correct the problem for sure. It's a procedure they do every day. The doctor said they do about 500 a year. So it's pretty standardised.
On the other hand it's a very invasive major surgery with a two month recovery time.
We're a little freaked out, to tell you the truth. It's the kind of decision I like to avoid and here it is right in our face. Or India's face.
What's your opinion? Feel free to comment.
Anyway, I tried to make the trip more fun by planning to visit Oakland's Rockbridge district on College Avenue for some window shopping and a quick bite to eat.
