finally got my molar separators in last night.

it was a strange numb and bouncy feeling in my mouth. one of the bands fell out already. so i called the rather incompetent nurse (whom i'm going to complain to my dentist about..) to schedule to fix in the band.

then another band fell out this morning. sigh.

but the pain. oh my god the pain is a bitch. the permanent dull soreness.. and the stinging pain when i bite down. it's supposed to last for 2 days. this is not counting the damn headache that the soreness is creating.

J keeps reminding me of the end results. despite her warnings of the abrasion and the metal ring, she's been a fantastic support every morning when i'm dying in the car.

i really can't wait for the stupid 1 hour procedure to stick the damn metal rings and brackets. and then after two weeks, i'll be back to eating almost normally. oh dear food that i've been craving.. all my chicken wings, fries, deep fried fish, hot soup noodles, and hokkien mee. oh hokkien mee.

sigh. the price of vanity..
