Ahhh... the joys I've missed. AND the laughs my wife has missed.

I have a question. When I first talked to my orthodontist, she said I would need to wear a headgear. But I'm almost done with everything and I still haven't worn one. I wonder if that means I wont have to wear it ever.

i use to have to wear reverse headgear (the facemask type deal)

so one night i was watching tv w/ my glasses on (i dont usually wear them) and then strapped my headgear on top over it.

i was just dozing off to sleep, when i was nudged awake being alerted that i had fallen asleep w/ my glasses on, underneath my headgear...

so that was a bit annoying, have to wake up, and then re-do the whooole thing.
grr.

funny in retrospect though
