Less than 24 hours before my "B day"
Did you remember your Bday?
It was far away in my mind but now, it's a little bit more clear! I'm afraid!

I don't remember much except that
a) I drooled a lot more than usual afterwards, which persisted for a few weeks
b) all the skin sloughed off the inside of my mouth in that first day - must have been a reaction to the metal
c) I tried, and failed, to eat Pringles that night - with two giant lumps of molar putty and sore teeth, it just wasn't happening!

Yes. I remember coming out of the orthodontist and my mom was laughing at me, because I looked like a blow fish, because I wasn't use to my braces yet. I also remember not being able to eat anything but pudding and soup. My family was having chicken tenders that night and I tried to eat them, but no cigar.

I have very pleasant memory of my first b day!
I remember the door of my ortho and the time i took to open it! When i finally decided to open it, my ortho was in front of me! Surprise!
He said to me: It's too late to cancel with his beautiful smile. I was ready for this journey and I had all positives messages in my mind! My fear remained in front of the door!
After my appointment, I didn't remember the pain! I was only happy! i didn't have a choice to make! It was done!

And now, i will have an other story with my second "Bday" . I have the same apprehension. It's a big journey but it's hope it will be a great one!
My fear is normal... the second one could be different! but i'm ready! Tomorrow will be a long day for me!
it's pleasant to read "memory" of B day after a few month!
