@Stepher7 - how did it go on Monday? I got mine yesterday too, it feels so alien. I've had a few tears, wondering if I've done the right thing, I just can't ever imagine getting used to them.

Still scared about having the tooth out (3 more sleeps!!) but I am a tough girl and have given birth twice so surely I can handle it!! Bei...
