Dr. Miller lovingly helped Megan into the front seat of the vehicle, he had driven their BMW SUV thinking it would be easier for Megan to get in and out of than their Tahoe or Lexus ES, being very careful that she avoided hitting her head or her halo brace against anything. Dr. Morales had already explained to both that Megan would be very sensitive to anything hitting against the halo or any of the vertical bars. Once she was seated, both realized that riding in a vehicle with a halo brace would be an adjustment. He raised the seat up so that she wasn't leaned back looking at the headliner of the vehicle. Dr. Miller asked her if she was ok. She replied "yes sir, thank you." He patted her hand and once again told her how proud he was of her before buckling her seat belt. After closing the door, he turned and looked at Dr. Morales.
Before he could speak, she said "she will adapt quickly. She ish a tough cookie. But if there are any issues, please call or text. I will give you a call tomorrow to check on her. Thank you. And tell Megan thank you as well. I will see you next week at my appointment. Maybe we can take thish awful tongue crib out?" She gave him a big hopeful smile.
Dr. Miller looked at her and said "we will certainly take a look and see how you are doing. I look forward to our appointment. You are making progress. And doing so well wearing your CTO. But I would expect that from you. Now, let me get my wife home. I know this has been hard on her.' As Dr. Miller walked around the vehicle to get in the driver's seat, he thought to himself 'well Olivia, I promise you won't be getting your tongue crib off. Oh no. We are going to have to get aggressive to break your habit.'
Pulling into the parking lot of the pharmacy, Dr. Miller said "I will be as quick as possible. They should have the prescriptions filled so it shouldn't take long. I will leave the car running for you."
Megan asked "sir, can I go in with you?"
Dr. Miller finished pulling into the parking spot and put the vehicle in park. He looked over at her and said "of course kitten. But do you really want to? I know this will take some getting used to."
Megan, having no choice but to stare straight ahead, said "yes sir, I would like to. I know there will be stares. But I need to get used to life in my new brace."
Dr. Miller said "of course baby. You are just the most amazing person in the world."
After opening the passenger side door, he gently helped Megan get her KAFO encased legs out of the vehicle. Then he gently wrapped his arms around her torso and helped her lean forward and scoot forward on the seat. Once her head was clear of the door frame, he helped her to a standing position. He looked at her and said "you are the most beautiful woman in the world. An angel."
He closed the car door, hit lock, and took her hand. He walked with her hand in hand into the pharmacy and made their way to the back. Approaching the back counter glass he could see his patient Margaret filling a prescription. Once she had dropped the orange bottle into the envelope, she sealed it and placed it in a tray with others. She then looked up and saw Dr. Miller looking at her. She momentarily got a deer in the headlights look. She was not wearing her facemask. She regained her composure and waved. She finished filling one more prescription, placing it alongside the others, and made her way to the counter.
She said "Dr. Miller, what a surprise. Are you here to pick up a prescription? I didn't see your name on anything." She then noticed Megan, who was standing behind Dr. Miller. As if trying to hide.
Dr. Miller said "no Margaret, the prescriptions would be under my wife's name, Megan Miller." He turned to his wife and said "baby, I would like you to meet one of our patients, Margaret Stone. She and her two daughters are all in treatment with us." He turned back towards Margaret and said "Margaret, I would like to introduce you to my amazing wife Megan. She just had a halo brace installed. The prescriptions are for her. There should be four; an antibiotic, a pain pill, a sleep aid and a steroid."
Megan shyly stepped closer. She would have had her head down if she had the option. But she didn't. She demurely stuck her hand out. As the two gently shook hands, Margaret said "oh Megan, it ish such a pleasure to meet you. I hate we are meeting under these circumstances though. I hope you aren't in any pain. But if you are, the percocet should take care of that. You poor thing. Were you in an accident?" She then noticed the protraction bar and the elastics stretching from it into her mouth. Margaret asked "is it hooked up to your mouth too?" The look on her face was a mix of horror and confusion.
Megan replied "it is a pleasure to meet you. No, I was not in an accident. It is to treat my Ehlers Danlos. And it is a part of my orthodontic treatment. I have to wear a protraction device full time as part of my treatment. Brad devised a way to use my halo so I don't have to wear an additional protraction brace. I was in CTO brace and facemask. This is taking the place of that. And yes, I am sore. But at least I don't have anything on my face."
Dr. Miller said "that is right baby. You won't have to wear your facemask or CTO while you are in your halo. You know a lot of my patients wear headgear or facemasks. Or at least they are supposed to." He turned and looked at Margaret.
Margaret had a guilty look on her face. She was busted, she was supposed to be wearing hers fulltime on the weekends. And she obviously wasn't. She looked at Megan and said "I know, it is really hard. So hard. I wear a facemask too. I just can't bring myself to wear it in public. Even though I am supposed to wear it all the time on the weekends. But I work every other Saturday, we alternate. I just can't wear it here. What would everyone think? And say?"
Megan said "I wore my facemask out. It was red. I thought it was cute. I got a lot of looks. And some questions. But I liked wearing it. But this halo brace is a whole other animal."
Dr. Brad said "we can talk about it at your next appointment Margaret. Maybe I can come up with something to make compliance easier for you. But for now, my darling needs to get home."
Margaret said "of course. Let me grab your scrips."
She returned a few minutes later. While she explained the prescriptions; dosages and schedule; one of the younger girls working at the pharmacy rang up the purchase. Dr. Brad inserted his debit card and entered his pin number. As the transaction went through, Margaret said "I will do a better job. I promise. I will put it on as soon as I get home."
Dr. Miller said "well, if you have it with you, you could put it on right now."
Margaret replied "I don't, it is laying on my bedside table. But really, I will do better."
The younger girl handed Dr. Brad his receipt and a bag with all the prescription in it. He took them and said "I know you will Margaret. I know you will. We can discuss how to make it easier for you at your next appointment."
As she watched the couple depart, Margaret had anxiety gnawing at her. What did he mean he would make it easier for her?
At bedtime, Dr. Miller and his mother got the boys to bed. Dr. Miller looked at his mother and said "thank you so much for staying with us a few days to help Megan with the boys. You really are life saver."
His mother said "of course dear. I will be here to help as long as I am able. Now, go in there and be with her. I have the baby monitor. Do not worry about a thing tonight. Mama's got it. Go, take care of her."
Entering their bedroom, he found Megan sleeping. He went beside the bed and stood over her. He knew she was zonked out on the pain medication. But, he really wanted to talk to her. But first he took in the sight of his beautiful wife. She had the covers pulled up, covering most of her. But her head and all of the metal of the halo was visible. As was the new nasal pillow CPAP mask she was wearing. It was a recent change due to the halo. It would allow her to sleep with the needed CPAP while still utilizing the protraction bar of the halo. Her mouth was half open, a thin line of drool was running from it. He had purposely decided not to turn her expander or lock her mouth, wanting her to be as comfortable as possible. The only sound was the whirring of the CPAP machine. He didn't want to wake her. He bent down and said softly "I love you so much baby."
He was surprised when she opened her eyes. She cut them in his direction. He said "oh baby, I didn't mean to wake you."
She drowsily said "the cpap is so loud. I can't sleep."
This surprised Brad, it had never been a problem before. But he knew this was all so different. He didn't know what to do. He asked "the Ambien isn't working?"
She said "I feel like I am asleep. But not asleep. It is so strange." She said "and the light from the streetlights is bothering me too."
He turned his head towards the blinds. There was just one thin line of light around the edges, not enough to even matter. But it was bothering Megan so it bothered him. He went over and adjusted them the best he could. Returning he asked "better."
She replied "nah really. And my tongue ish hurting. It is pressing against my crib."
He thought a moment. He said "baby, I have something that might help. From when you had your lasik. Let me see if I can find them.
And I have a new appliance I had made for you, but you haven't needed it so far. Let me see if it will help."
He returned a few minutes later and said "I found them baby. The dry eye goggles from when you had the infection in your eye after surgery. Maybe we can see if they help? And I brought you some ear plugs." He then held up a pink acrylic appliance. He continued "I came up with this for Dr. Andi when she first got her appliance. To protect her tongue while she slept. You never seemed to need it, but I went ahead and had one made for you just in case. Can we try it? It will protect your tongue. But you really won't be able to talk. Let's see how it feels though."
He pulled over a couple of extra pillows, the bed was a sea of pillows, and helped Megan to sit up. As he did he asked "are the pillows helping? Can you get comfortable?"
She said "not really, this is so hard."
He stopped what he was doing and hugged her. He said "I know it is baby. But I am so proud of you." He could tell, even with all the drugs in her system, Megan needed to hear it.
She said "I want to make you proud sir."
He squeezed her tighter and said "you do kitten. Every day. And especially right now."
He let go of her and helped her up so she was leaned up against the headboard. He said "open up for me baby. I am going to slide this new appliance in. It will cover your crib and expander with smooth acrylic. It will feel big. But let's see if it helps." He carefully slid it into her mouth, it was a little more difficult with the protraction bar and elastics in the way, but he managed to get it seated in her mouth. He instructed her "gently bite down for me." He then took the torx driver and locked her scopes shut. He said "there, that way it will stay in place. And you won't mouth breath like you were when I came in to check on you. Better?"
She replied "aggghh gooo".
Dr. Brad thought she was trying to say "all good", but just to make sure he took her hand. He couldn't ask her to nod, so instead he said "if you are ok, squeeze my hand." She squeezed his hand. He said "if this is better squeeze my hand." Again, she squeezed his hand. He said "you are such a good kitten." She squeezed his hand again. He let go and said "now, I am going to put on the dry eye goggles. They will block out all this pesky light." After he strapped the black goggles on her face, he took her hand again. He said "squeeze my hand if this is better." She squeezed his hand. He said "I am going to put the ear plugs in. You won't be able to hear me. So again, squeeze my hand to let me know you are ok." After he inserted the ear plugs, he realized she was effectively blind, deaf and mute. He could not imagine what must be running through her head unable to see anything. Unable to hear anything. Unable to say anything. And largely unable to move. He knew he would have been terrified. He would have been having a panic attack. But not Megan. She squeezed his hand tight. After a moment, she took her other hand and flipped the covers off of her and pulled the hem of her nightgown up slightly. She took his hand and slid it down her body. He saw the dark spot on her nightgown. Dr. Brad recognized what she wanted. No, Megan did not seem distressed. No, this seemed to be having the opposite effect on her.
He slid into bed beside her.
Dr. Miller lovingly helped Megan into the front seat of the vehicle, he had driven their BMW SUV thinking it would be easier for Megan to get in and out of than their Tahoe or Lexus ES, being very careful that she avoided hitting her head or her halo brace against anything.

Chapter 19
Without any trouble we arrived in a cozy French village, where we had rented a big house for the whole group. Since Jess had never brought a boyfriend on the skiing trips, she always had been convicted to sleeping in the living room. Now I accompanied her, she got the luxury of a bedroom, where we had some privacy.
As a member of the group of friends, Chris was joining as well. He was still frustrated about the fact that Jess was involved in a relationship with me and he abominated the fact that Jess was wearing braces, something he still blamed me for. It was clear that Chris and I wouldn’t become best friends, but we didn’t bother each other.
The first day of skiing was great, blue skies and great snow conditions. After the lifts closed, we got a few beers in a pub before we left for our house. Jess took advantage of the luxury of a private bedroom including a bathroom with a bath and left for a relaxing session.
I was joining a few others with some card games, when I heard Jess calling Susan to come to our room. I didn’t think anything of it, until Susan came back, walked to me and whispered in my ear: “Your explanation in the car about braces, seems to have a little different meaning with the Christmas present you gave Jess.” I understood Jess told Susan about the double headgear I had given her. As far as I knew Jess had left it at home for our own entertainment.
We continued our card game and I had my back to the door of our room, so I couldn’t see when Jess entered the room again. Before I even noticed Jess entering the room Chris exploded. I looked around to see why Chris went nuts, when I saw Jess wearing her double headgear. No one had seen it yet, so a lot of us were surprised. Most of our friends were full of sympathy that Jess had to wear such massive braces and supported her, but Chris was clearly not amused about Jess’s braces. Again he blamed me for the braces that Jess wore and in fact, he was right this time. It took soke time for Chris to calm down, but the atmosphere only cleared fully when Chris left for bed.
More and more friends left for bed, even Jess, leaving just Susan and myself. Susan has the privilege to sleep in the living room this year, as she was one of the singles. When I got ready to go to bed, she asked me to have a last drink.
I felt Susan wanted to discuss something, so I quickly agreed, grabbing two beers and plumped on a couch, while handing Susan one of the beers.
“Are you sure you’re not into braces? I mean, you didn’t give her a regular Christmas present, did you?”
I smiled and said: “I knew Jess is always looking for challenges and I knew she just enjoy wearing braces including her headgear. I guess you have seen that as well. I found out, but didn’t tell Jess yet, that her orthodontist is an old schoolfriend of me, so it was quite easy to get the headgear.
I didn’t know she took it with her this trip, so when she showed up wearing it tonight, I was as surprised as anyone else.
I expect she called you to show the headgear in private?”
“Yes indeed, she wanted me to tell me about the double headgear in private and in continuation of our conversation in the car I asked her to put it in, so I could really see how it looked. In fact she hesitated to show it even to me, you know, showing such a humiliating device to your friends is quite hard.
When she put it in, I immediately recognized what you said earlier. She looked so natural wearing the double headgear. Of course it looked strange, but it just suits her.
She said she needed a moment when I returned to the living, so I expected her to take of the double headgear. Little did I know she needed a moment to compose herself to show herself wearing this headgear in front of her friends.”
In fact I wasn’t really surprised with Susans explanation and a could have expected it from Jess. Also remembering the conversation in the car, I started to think that wearing braces might be a little more than only a challenge for Jess. Not that I was disappointed about it, anyway.
Now the topic was into braces anyway, I asked Susan: “I don’t know you as well as Jess does, but I think you have been thinking about braces since we had our conversations back in the car. I bet now you have seen Jess’s headgear, you are questioning yourself what it would be like to have such braces yourself and what Daves reaction would. Am I correct?”
She laughed out loud and threw a cushion towards me: “You are damn right. Now go to bed and give Jess some attention. I need you to leave the room anyway, because I need some sleep for a new day of skiing tomorrow”.
I understood the message and rose from the couch. I wished Susan sweet dreams about braces and slipped into our room, where I found Jess fast asleep wearing her double headgear. Unfortunately she didn’t notice me climbing into bed.
Without any trouble we arrived in a cozy French village, where we had rented a big house for the whole group. Since Jess had never brought a boyfriend on the skiing trips, she always had been convicted to sleeping in the living room. Now I accompanied her, she got the luxury of a bedroom, where we had some privacy.

As far as I knew Jess had left it at home for our own entertainment.
We continued our card game and I had my back to the door of our room, so I couldn’t see when Jess entered the room again. Before I even noticed Jess entering the room Chris exploded. I looked around to see why Chris went nuts, when I saw Jess wearing her double headgear. No one had seen it yet, so a lot of us were surprised. Most of our friends were full of sympathy that Jess had to wear such massive braces and supported her, but Chris was clearly not amused about Jess’s braces. Again he blamed me for the braces that Jess wore and in fact, he was right this time. It took soke time for Chris to calm down, but the atmosphere only cleared fully when Chris left for bed.
More and more friends left for bed, even Jess, leaving just Susan and myself. Susan has the privilege to sleep in the living room this year, as she was one of the singles. When I got ready to go to bed, she asked me to have a last drink.
I felt Susan wanted to discuss something, so I quickly agreed, grabbing two beers and plumped on a couch, while handing Susan one of the beers.
“Are you sure you’re not into braces? I mean, you didn’t give her a regular Christmas present, did you?”
I smiled and said: “I knew Jess is always looking for challenges and I knew she just enjoy wearing braces including her headgear. I guess you have seen that as well. I found out, but didn’t tell Jess yet, that her orthodontist is an old schoolfriend of me, so it was quite easy to get the headgear.
I didn’t know she took it with her this trip, so when she showed up wearing it tonight, I was as surprised as anyone else.
I expect she called you to show the headgear in private?”
“Yes indeed, she wanted me to tell me about the double headgear in private and in continuation of our conversation in the car I asked her to put it in, so I could really see how it looked. In fact she hesitated to show it even to me, you know, showing such a humiliating device to your friends is quite hard.
When she put it in, I immediately recognized what you said earlier. She looked so natural wearing the double headgear. Of course it looked strange, but it just suits her.
She said she needed a moment when I returned to the living, so I expected her to take of the double headgear. Little did I know she needed a moment to compose herself to show herself wearing this headgear in front of her friends.”
In fact I wasn’t really surprised with Susans explanation and a could have expected it from Jess. Also remembering the conversation in the car, I started to think that wearing braces might be a little more than only a challenge for Jess. Not that I was disappointed about it, anyway.
Now the topic was into braces anyway, I asked Susan: “I don’t know you as well as Jess does, but I think you have been thinking about braces since we had our conversations back in the car. I bet now you have seen Jess’s headgear, you are questioning yourself what it would be like to have such braces yourself and what Daves reaction would. Am I correct?”
She laughed out loud and threw a cushion towards me: “You are damn right. Now go to bed and give Jess some attention. I need you to leave the room anyway, because I need some sleep for a new day of skiing tomorrow”.
I understood the message and rose from the couch. I wished Susan sweet dreams about braces and slipped into our room, where I found Jess fast asleep wearing her double headgear. Unfortunately she didn’t notice me climbing into bed.
