My dad offered to take me in instead of Gypse and the kids. My neck is still too stiff to drive, and I'm afraid of falling asleep at the wheel. I definitely wasn't passing up on that. A break from everything would be nice. Maybe some peace and quiet.
My appointment was a little embarrassing. I walked in and all the assistants and secretaries and the orthodontist are all surrounding me, smiling excitedly.
"Oh you look sooooo good!!! Oh you look so different, you are going to look beautiful!"
I pulled my scarf up over my face to hide my flushing face.
I wonder if when I left, they all huddled in a circle saying, oh my god she made a huge mistake, what have we made her do???
Heads are gonna roll if that's the case lol.
Afterwards I went for some retail therapy at the dollar store, and my dad gave me $20 for the casino. I sure love those penny slots.
I seen an old friend with his entire family at walmart later on. I was so embarrassed because I probably look like such a fool. I haven't seen him in so many years, but it felt good seeing someone from long ago that I have been missing and thinking about over the years.
All in all, today was the best day I've had so far since the surgery. I had a nice break from the kids and husband, and my orthodontist fixed my band hooks to make it easier to re-band. He even told me I can have the bands off just for a break from them from time to time during the day. It's amazing how much my mood has changed today.
In two weeks I won't even have to have the bands on anymore!
When I got home, I took my bands out for about 15mins. Took some photos and checked myself out in the mirror. Feeling a little bit excited now! It's amazing how my bite has changed! I feel happy enough to almost cry.
I can't explain how good it feels to not feel so gloomy and angry anymore.
I should also add, I must be getting used to the lack of food, all I've had today is a small smoothie and 2 Ensures, and it's really not bothering me that much anymore.
Here's a few of the pictures that I took while the bands were out. Oh, and by the way, I put them back in like a pro! 20 seconds and they were in!!!
Still swollen obviously, but looking alot better!
And I apoligize for the goofy pics lol but I still can't smile much either because of the swelling.
