wearing headgear out and about

#1 Post by scott75 »

ok, im doing it .. i went out socially with my wife last night and managed to wear my headgear all night. i felt really nervous at first but it went away almost completely. each time a new person sees me i sort of get anxious .

had several positive comments , also 2 people thoght i had jaw surgery.

i was off work today so i wore it out for a quick holiday shopping, again most women just smiled at me, while most kids and men sort of stared with blank look..

im not allowed to wear it to work but im planning to be in it 16hrs daily from her eon out

i think i probably look stupid in it but oh well, no one said the price of a good bite is cheap! fiancially or otherwise!!
