updates on pain (if anyone wants to know).... :)

I'm feeling a bit better about my braces.........

#1. My spouse had his benefits change and now I'm going to get $2K (out of $8K) covered! This is freaking awesome!

#2. I got the whole top wire put in and started with the elastics, plus half of the bottom in.

#3. For the pain issue (my tooth extraction sites still hurt 2 weeks later) I have an appointment tomorrow with the oral surgon to talk to him and have them check me out. I still can't function without the codine in the morning, thankfully they don't make me high!

#4. I kinda like the look of my braces, I have two teeth that are further back in the front and the bracets make them look more flush already.

So there we go, overall a bit better, and hoping it gets better still. I think once this stops hurting all the time I will be happy with this whole process.

In about 3 weeks my aunt is getting her braces on too (we are doing this kinda together) and I hope she has a much better experience!
