Busy Little Bee

I've been so busy lately. Working full time and going to school full time is a heck of a job, and it really takes up all of my 24 hours/day. Add in appointment after appointment and then you really don't have much time at all. Speaking of appointments, I have my braces on! The wires on the front top and bottom aren't applied yet, but the left and right sides are. Since I am getting four of my front teeth and my four wisdom teeth extracted on Friday, they decided to wait on wiring on the front...which makes sense. With that said...come Friday, I'll be in major pain and so will Tyler. He's getting his wisdom teeth taken out, as well, and at the same exact time as I am. His mom is in town (she lives in California) so she is going to take care of us :) Along with my braces, I have these annoying blue dots on either side of my mouth, on the bottom on one tooth. They're called "turbos" and they're there to keep my top teeth from knocking off my bottom brackets. Turbos wouldn't be all that bad if they weren't the only part of my mouth that touches when I bite down or try to chew food. But they are. I can barely eat because of these turbos and it is a little inconvenient. I've been drinking a lot of smoothies, and buttered grits are my new bread. Here's to unintentional weight-loss!

I know, I'm complaining. I also know that I'm the one that signed up for all of this work to be done. I told Tyler that even though I may whine a lot about the pain or the annoying factor for the next year and so, I'm really actually happy that I'm doing all of this and to just ignore it (unless, of course, I'm seriously DYING with pain). I'm just ready for the outcome and can't wait until the surgeries are done, the braces are off, and I have a great, wide, and beautiful set of pearl whites! :D

I plan on posting photos during the process. Before, during all of my treatment, and after the treatment so you guys can see the progress made and difference in everything. I could always do that on a dental blog, but I don't want to leave this one behind. I like it too much and love all of you six followers :)_
