Return of the dreaded spacer bands

I have had 6 spacer bands put in between my bottom teeth and they are KILLING me. It's to make space so that my last two unbracketed teeth can be bracketed and wired up next week. I forgot how uncomfortable spacer bands are :(

Day 6: Turning Point

Image
Definitely felt much better today. This morning my husband took my son to school and just as they left it started snowing. I lay on the sofa just watching it in the peaceful house and felt quite happy with the world. Husband then went and bought a beautiful Christmas tree and I started feeling really cosy and Christmasy. My energy was up so I did a few little chores around the house, I slurped my soup, drank coffee, managed to take my meds without  gagging. All in all I felt pretty OK! I even ventured in to the OUTSIDE WORLD tonight. We haven't really had a proper Christmas tree for a few years due to various renovations and such, and this year I was determined to do things properly.

Husband went off to gym and shops for a few hours and I took a lovely long bath which helped relax my aches and pains.

It was just a normal fresh soup, but I blended it and diluted with some milk to give it a lovely sloppy consistency. I drank it like a cup of tea - classy. Still keeping up with the ice packs as much as I can. I bought three of them so I have a steady supply. My nose is annoying me, it's very blocked and trickles with blood a lot. Grim.

Day 3: Black Eye

Image
Woke up a few times in the night in a lot of pain and forced down a paracetamol, woke up feeling very swollen with my eye very closed. Dozed on and off for most of the day, watching a steady stream of 'Friend' re-runs (which have always had a calming effect on me) By the afternoon my eye swelling had reduced sightly and a nice black eye was starting to appear. I am completely sick of milky drinks and the words 'protein shake' make me gak. Had a miso soup instead as I had a salt craving. Swelling : Lots Bruising : Mainly on left Pain : Bearable, if I keep up with the meds Mood : Tired and weak
