The world is my oyster come grocery shopping ~ tucked into museli for the first time in over 2 years over the weekend ... bliss Image. And carrots ~ superb Image
Yeah, it'll sure be nice to bite into a raw carrot or an apple in a couple of years! Even sliced up carrots are a little problematic -- they seem a little abrasive and I'm worried about bending a wire :!:

Continue to enjoy yourself -- you deserve it :D

Gosh Lisa, I haven't been around since just before your debanding. "You look ma-velous, darling!" Glad to hear that "life is good". Keep us updated on your upcoming dental extractions.
It's all in how you see yourself!

Hi Linda21! I'm so glad to hear that your retainer check was quick and easy, and better yet that your bite and everything else looks perfect!

So your impending extraction surgery is practically here! I will definitely keep you in my thoughts this coming Wednesday, and sending you lots of white light and healing vibes for a quick recovery.

That's great that they will do another retainer check again soon (after your extractions).

Stay well, and I'll really look forward to hearing from you after the extractions as soon as you are able, to know you are okay (I know you will be) and hear how it was for you. :rose:

Mmm, I've been pigging out on raw carrot as well... not as much gets served up for tea as I originally plan to...

Hey Linda

Wow...you've been through a lot since the last time I stopped in. Sounds like those extractions were pretty tough...good to see you're still in good spirits about everything. Hope you get all your feeling back soon and good luck with your next appointment. Hopefully, it'll be all good news for the holidays.
