First Year Anniversary
Time flew; soon it’s going to be a year since I fixed braces ~ 19April 2008, the day I ventured into getting my beautiful smile journey. Haven’t you notice that I always smile widely now? Even strangers on the streets smile back to me whenever I lifted up my lips showing my teeth although I’m actually not smiling. Haha…… And I even received compliment on my smiles with obvious dimples now. Maybe this whole fixture had turned my face structure into being a even more friendly and approachable person.
Last Saturday, 21st March, was my 6th appointment for wire changing. Every time before each appointment, Chris and I will MSN each other to remind, keep posted on the visit and calm ourselves ‘coz we are afraid of hearing the word ‘extraction’ from Doctor’s mouth.
This recent visit, phew……. so far, so good. Changed wires again, up & down. Good to hear it’s moving for bottom front. Well, perhaps keeping myself focus to escape the horrid of extraction visit helps. Keep it going strong there, May!!
Well, as usual wires change come with either little numb or extreme numbness. This time, I thought it was only little numbing but manatau today evening, the pain suddenly started while at work and is still on-going. Really no joke, can’t believe the pain only came in 2 days later this time around. I can feel on my gum, one of teeth as though is like kena pull to the front by extreme force. Wow! Darn pain, words can hardly describe. Luckily back home dinner; there are steam eggs and sardines. Soft enough to eat, but didn’t ate much.
Dah lah in pain, night brushing even more syiok. Ouchhhh….. but as I looked into the mirror, I can see the bottom is starting to align, squeezing hard to fit into place. What else can I say? I’m happy to see they are moving into straight, but of course come at a price of PAIN, besides the heavy investment. Although it’s going to be painful for few more days, but I’m happy to know that I can stay away from extraction later, hopefully. Thinking positive.
So, 6 weeks to go before next visit. As usual, Doctor asked me to enjoy my days and if any problems, just call them. Hmph, I can feel the lower wire extended a little, poking my inner mouth now, but let’s just wait a little if I really need to return for a cut.
Anyhow, the even happier news from this visit is to know that I can enjoy my Krabi trip fully next month without pain and hassle on food. Isn’t that Good news? Yuppie!!…. I’m just one happy go lucky little star \(^_^)/
