Since I got my braces on, I’ve been marking the days off in my planner.  Today is Day 297.  Wow!  Doesn’t that seem like a long time?  Then I was flipping through my to-do list/general note-taking notepad that I keep in my purse and I found my notes from the original appointment with my orthodontist, Dr. Weber – it was over a year ago that I had my initial diagnostics done (Oct 16).  Time is really flying by…just wish it would go a little faster! :-#

the pain, the pain

Ugh. 5 bottom braces crow-barred off and reattached. My jaw hurts so
bad right now, and it's been two days (and many many ibuprofen)! And
to add insult to injury, I spaced on the state of my molars yesterday
and packed a salad for lunch. Um, yeah, can't chew that! :P

I hope everyone is having a better week than me!

Sorry, thought I'd whine to someone else besides my husband... :(

mmm...

OK, I’m sure this is weird, but does anyone else just adore red peppers?  I’m been munching on them all morning.  They are crunchy without being too hard – perfect when you really need that texture, but won’t hurt your teeth.  And they’re tasty! J 

 

No new orthodontic news…  I have my new appt on the 14^th to move some bottom brackets around, but other than that, my mouth is pretty boring at the moment…
