Thanks, yall. All is going well. I haven't expericenced and real pain just pressure from the tie-backs, which isn't that bad anymore really. And pressure when I open wide...but just on the bottomI was soooo dreading the 2nd day but it's all good. One of the lucky ones I guess. I don't really take anything for pain, just sometimes at night before bed or after I eat something that you actually have to chew to digest. I just tried some Extra Sugarless gum tonite...just not the same. I feel like a cow chewing cud....proly look like it, too. I ate out at a restaraunt for the 1st time tonite, too. Chikin n' Dumplins...mac and mashed potatoes. Not too bad. I lose my appetitite half the time just becuase it's too tiring to eat.

As far as irritation, the cleats are sort of hammered down but they still feel a little rough. I used the wax a couple times. I didn't have any cuts, just some spots from the lip spreaders. However I think I created some unintentionally. I can't keep my lips and my mouth still...bleh.

At least I can bite down all the way even tho it is crooked and lop-sided and feels so totally unnatural....haha

I'm glad is going good...**^^**
