So the day started off better than Monday ended. Work was busy and I was behind most of the morning. I got out of work around 10 and went home and read the online version of the Tulsa World, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Needless to say I went from 100mph to a crawl. I was reading a book on the iPad of course and eating a piece of toast. Well on my braces there are 3 little hooks on the sides that are for elastics (rubber bands) later on in my treatment and they are rounded so they are not sharp nor did I have any rubbing or problems until today. I was using my tongue to clear out some bread that I felt in my back brackets (normal thing now) and I got the top of my tongue STUCK on a hook. Now mind you I couldn’t see in a mirror how it was hooked and I was in pain. Imagine me with both hands in my mouth trying to figure out just how the hell to get it unhooked. I spent about 4 minutes in agony and couldn’t really call anyone from help because I couldn’t talk. I had thoughts of going to the emergency room or my orthodontist but was able to un-hook with a little wiggling. I ripped a little chunk of the top side of my tongue and it burned. Needless to say anbesol was my friend and numbed me right up. I thought it was funny and wish I had recorded it on the flip just to document how funny it was looking back but scary while it was happening. I spent the rest of the day chilling and reading a book called “How did you get this number” and was in bed asleep by 6 HOWEVER I fell asleep reading so I didn’t take any sleep meds.
