Morning its day 2 of braces and I spoke with a friends husband whom had them just taken off and he referred to his few days after install as being hit in the face with a baseball bat. I have to say softball bat is more of my feeling. It is weird how 1 little tooth colored wire can do so much pain but already open a pretty big gap in my teeth and allow my tilted tooth to start un-tilting. The pain yesterday was mild if not just a discomfort but overnight it got painful when I slept on my side my cheeks didn’t like the hardware inside. I have a few pain pills (good stuff) leftover from my oral surgery and took one of those and I slept like a baby. I can’t eat solid foods so I had a scrambled egg for breakfast and mashed it off the roof of my mouth. Its amazing how much shit gets caught up in these railroad tracks. I tried to clear some of it with my tongue but the pebbles on my teeth are shredding it pretty good. Last night at Cirque (which was great) I ran into a friend from a radio station and he never said anything of my braces and he’s the type that would if he noticed them. So I go back to work in the morning and can’t wait to see what happens with co-workers. I might goto the gym today so I don’t slack to much I’ve not been since umm Thursday.
So jump ahead to 5pm and I just ate toast with mac & cheese with no problems. *knock on wood* if I keep up the pressure on my teeth I should be able to eat some. I’m still prepared for a liquid diet if needed. I mowed the yard rather than going to the gym today and I’m going to regret not mowing the back yard I can tell you now. I am pondering going to church tonight but were due some severe weather tonight after 1am so that would put it on my on-call times to be in earlier than my normal 2:30. I guess I’m going to have to make some slimfast milkshakes because I can drink those at work without having to run to the bathroom and brush the crap out of the tracks. So for today other than hurting + lortabs + mowing + dinner its been fairly uneventful. We shall have the emotional day tomorrow to see who notices first and how long it takes before the whole newsroom knows. I give it about 2 hours.
