I hit the 4 month mark with little ceremony. Glad July is over, for it had its own tribulations that were not braces related.
The other day there was a board meeting for the directors of our company. (Where I am employed, I mean). Most of them in their 60s.
“What are those?” one of them gasped, when he saw my brand-new smile.
“Braces,” I said.
The other took out his glasses so that he could get a clearer look.
“What are they for?” This was all very strange to him.
“They are cosmetic.”
“No no.” Gave me that ‘you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-look’. “They can’t be cosmetic!”
I knew what he meant; there’s no way you could put metals in your mouth for cosmetic reasons!
Lipstick is understandable, earrings and bangles that’s normal, but a row of metal in the mouth…not cosmetic! I could read his mind.
“It is eventually, “ I tried to explain. “Once out they will improve appearance.”
“Aaah.” He finally understood, and I could tell he wanted to say that he didn’t think there was anything that needed improving, .. but he refrained. He had the the vijana- wa- siku- hizi look.
So jana I run into my dentist on the street. He even had a quick look at the progress.
“The ka-canine has moved well,” he said. “But that open bite is going to be tough.”
“I’m scheduled for next week,” I changed the topic. I requested to be rescheduled to the afternoon.
Didn’t want my August to begin on a sad note. THINGS WERE TOUGH ENOUGH AS IT IS!!!!!!
Which reminds me I need to call their receptionist at the clinic ASAP to slot me in!!
(I still don't know how many) days to go
