Except for in horse shoes and hand grenades. That's what my mom always said to me as a kid. Well bust out the hand grenades and let's go play out in the horse shoe pit!!
Week 4 is right around the corner. That puts me in the home stretch of this nonsense!! HOORAY!! I can already taste the real food.
I started brushing my teeth yesterday. However I am not able to use a REAL toothbrush so I had to go out and buy one. Did you know they make toothbrushes for 4 month olds? I never knew that, but I suppose they have teeth that need to be brushed too...So I am rocking the Cookie Monster baby tooth brush. It's pretty badass and I know you are all jealous. It just felt so good to brush my teeth finally.
I have a sweet story to tell people if I do venture out. I go rummaging through my pocketbook and dig out my diagram and my wire cutters. I have to carry these with me at all times. In case I start choking, or if I feel sick, I need to be able to cut the wires that are holding my mouth together. People get totally freaked out by it. It makes me laugh. Who needs a halloween costume when I look like a freak already?! I am such an evil woman...ha ha ha ha ha ha
As for pain and discomfort, all I have left really is the inside of my cheeks. They kinda look like ground hamburger. All those wires and knots have really torn me up. Also, periodically, I get a numbing sensation in my chin area, the part that was numb at the beginning of all of this, but I am sure as the bone heals, that will happen. Meh, I am not too concerned with that. I just wish my cheeks would toughen up. I know I could use wax, but that stuff is a NIGHTMARE to try and get out of your braces when you need it out. The other times my mouth just toughened up, this not so much. GAH....pretty soon it will all be done and I won't have to worry about it.
Going to visit the surgeon today. Maybe he'll say we can start thinking about when we are going to take these god forsaken wires out. That would make me happy. I know I know...everyone, family, friends, and strangers, have told me. Don't rush to get out of the wires. Stay in them until the doctor says so. blah blah blah blah. My blanket answer to all of you. I will have 9469482 x-rays done before he even considers cutting me out of the trap....so don't worry. I will not be able to persuade him to free me sooner.
Alrighty, I hope you all have a lovely day. I will talk to you tomorrow. :-)
