I am rubberband free, well at least for a couple of weeks. I had a really painful tooth and when I looked in the mirror it appeared that the rubberband was pulling it upward. That was not the case, but I had three loose brackets (probably knocked loose in surgery) that were not inline with my other teeth. Dr. Gere (orthodontist) pulled off my wire and put on a lightweight one to bring those teeth back up level where they should be, and told me that I wouldn't be wearing the bands for a while. YIPPEE! So now that one tooth does not hurt, but the other three do. I guess it's a trade off. I can lick my lips and not worry about taking the bands off to eat. It's been a good day.
I did come down with a cold a few days ago. It's not helping my positive outlook since I can't blow my nose and the congestion in my chest is causing me to gag. I'm trying to get through this in style, one day at a time, but I am wearing down. I'm tired, not sleeping at night. Still not in my own bed and it takes so long to get to sleep. I try and catch a short nap during the day, I'm just so exhausted. Pray for me!
