It is hard to believe that 2016 is gone and a new year has begun. I'm telling you, the older you get, the faster a hour goes by.
On December 21st, I had my braces put on. That was one uncomfortable hour. But! I survived it.
The first week was the hardest. My jaw hurt and my bottom teeth ached. I couldn't even chew a tiny piece of bread. *cringe* My meals (which I dreaded) consisted of mashed potatoes and canned soup.
When I'm hungry, life is tough. And I was h-u-n-g-r-y.
Still, I reminded myself (and my family reminded me) that "this too shall pass", and "just one more day" would ease the pain even more.
It has been almost three weeks and I can once again chew! Nothing hard or crunchy (I miss my chips!) but I can eat my salad and eggs again! *happy dance*
I do have a problem with cutting my lips on the wire while I sleep. At the moment the inside of my lip is hot and burns. I've been putting salt water on them though, covering the wire in wax, and they are healing!
Slowly but surely.
Slowly but surely.

DeleteI knew you were going to be getting braces soon, but I didn't know you got them already! Wow! I'm behind the times. ;) And yes, that picture is very pretty! :D
ReplyDeleteOh really? Yeah I got them quite a bit ago! :)
DeleteThank you my dear <3
You are so gorgeous! *gasps and stares at own reflection in disgust* ;) lol
ReplyDeleteOh whatever! You're gorgeous so there.
DeleteOh, how I can relate! When I put on braces it was also hard to me to eat. So what I did is go on a juice diet. It was great. I juiced fruits and vegetables and you know, all those types of things. Not to mention all the weight I managed to lose! But when I got used to eating again, all those pounds came back!
