I've been neglecting you...dear dear followers! I've been super duper busy with work lately. We just went live with a new computer system and it has taken up my life! Litterally! I worked 49 hours of overtime in a two week period! That's more than a job and a half! Paycheck...nice! Restlessness...not so nice!Anyway back to what this blog is really all about...my teeth and braces!
I went in for a teeth tightening and cleaning yesterday...and my teeth are killing me :( I woke up at 6am, had to be at the orthodontist to get my wires taken out by 7am, then go get my teeth cleaned at 8am and back at the ortho for my tightening and new wires by 920am! Took up most of my morning! Luckily I have sick time at work that will pay me for my time! So lucky! The other exciting thing is that it was the first time I actually got to see my teeth for longer than 5 mins without my wires! It gave me a much clearer picture of what my teeth are looking like!
I am getting over a cold I had with a hight temp of 102! So of course the day I go into the ortho/dentist I get a cold sore! :( I hate those! The one good thing is that my dentist saw it and said he could user a laser treatment on it...which would help it heal faster! Whhhaaaaaat? I had no idea there was such a thing! So he did the treatment and my cold sore felt better immediately! Weird! But lucky there is such a thing! Whooda Thunk?!
I drank my lunch yesterday and today...Broccoli soup! yummy! I started out using a spoon...but quickly changed to a straw! LOL
On top of my cleaning and tightening I got bands...which I have had to wear for most of my treatment. I still have a slight overbite on the top left side of my bite. I got in a bit of trouble for not wearing them 23 hours a day...but he said I was still on track! Luckily! I have been doubling up at night so I hope they are moving just as fast!
So other exciting news...looks like things are looking good and it seems like I will not have to endure the pain of jaw surgery! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Hope everyone is doing great! I promise to keep posting more frequently...don't un-follow me! LOL

HI Makay!
ReplyDeleteTrust me I've also missed you and my blog! I've just been extra super busy with life and work! Which can be a good thing too. Looks like you're doing well yourself! Good to hear from you!

Hey Claudia, we've both been busy...Won't be unfollowing you, and hoping that you won't have to endure jaw surgery. I have surgery to schedule within the next couple months as well, to remove the roots of a previously extracted tooth that somehow got embedded and are preventing movement of a couple teeth that the ortho is attempting to move...sigh!
ReplyDeleteHi Shells!
ReplyDeleteThanks for not unfollowing me! LOL I'm also hoping I don't have to undergo jaw surgery...that would be no fun. But if I do, at least I know I will have your support!
What?! An embedded tooth! Oh no :( sorry to hear that...but just think: once it's out, things will go smoother!
Lots of luck and thinking of you!
Claudia :)
