The Plunge


So I took the plunge today into the wonderful world of orthodontics. I got braces put on, a retainer looking thingy on the bottom, and funny little blue rings between my back teeth. All the pain and embarrasment is for the sole purpose of having a gorgeous smile one of these days. Ah, the things we go through. I'm both nervous and excited about this adventure. That's what I'm calling it...an adventure. And so goes Day 1. I'm hungry. Eating is a chore. I'm talking funny. Ss's are hard. The best part, however, is that everyone is super supportive and excited for me. Most things in life I suppose are made better and easier because of the people around us who both cheer us on and warn us gently.

I'm going home now...to try to eat something. Wish me luck.

By the way...those aren't my teeth. Nor is that my upper jaw. Nor is that half my mouth sitting on the counter. But that IS what type of braces I have on the tops there.

I am super glad that you clarified the fact that that was not your mouth. When I first logged in I was a little wierded out. I am so glad that you have taken the plunge, I only hope the outcome is worth the pain. mamabick
