Almost counts!!

11 Months 22 days

In less than two weeks I will have had my braces for one year! One whole rock-solid year.
Hard to believe.

I am so used to them they have become part of my identity. I have embraced them totally, warts and all…and by warts here I mean the sores, the discomfort, the works. (I think I say this a lot: Hopefully not too too much!)

During what was hopefully my second last appointment, my dentist asked me to wear my rubber bands 24/7 for one month. He says that it is better to ‘over treat’ .

 In the one month I have not worn rubber bands my bite has opened somewhat and he’d rather take my braces off when it is as closed as possible, so I’ll do that.

The only challenge is that I have an assortment of different size rubber bands and he gave me freedom to wear them as I deem fit.

Much as that may sound liberating, there’s always some security in knowing that what you do, is as directed by the doctor/dentist and not from your own mac-jua ujuaji.

Anyway..so let’s see how this month goes.

ION and totally unrelated: I crave for milk…

Would somebody please remind me to blog about retainers? I’ve learned an awful lot thus far….

Here we are …almost done….yes, almost does count, especially when I have

Less than one month to go

YAY!!
