OK--so I'm an idiot!!!---
I didn't even put two and two together until today...Yesterday, when I went to the ortho to get the wires out for the dentist, and the ortho office was running way behind. I went up to the front and mentioned that I had to get to the dentist. They understand that. So, they got the ortho to take off the wires and power chains (he usually just runs around diagnosing and then telling the assistants what to do--except he does place the brackets--then they do everything else). Anyway--while he was taking everything off he was looking all over. He said something about the back molars not coming down and lining up, and how they would work on that, but in the end my bite wouldn't be messed up if they remained where they were....ok whatever--blah,blah,blah.....
Sooooo, now back to the ortho (after my dental appt) for my beautiful blue powerchains (
).and archwires. And after the appt, like I mentioned before, it hurt like hell. I couldn't even bite down on food on all four molars in the back. That's when we get to the big DUH!!!!!!!!!The power chains are doubled from the back molars to the next molar forward. I can feel the double chain. And they weren't chained prior--I could floss and there was no chain getting in the way. So basically, the ortho actually did a bit of an adjustment!!!! Feels exactly like an adjustment. I did not expect this!!! I got an adjustment only because he was the one taking everything out prior to the dental appt!! Lucky me
..and I have another adjustment in 2 1/2 weeks!! 
Oh well...better now than next time when I get an even heavier wire...I was all freaking out about a stainless steel wire, and yesterday he mentioned something about the stainless steel wires I have now...I really should pay more attention!
So this is so funny!!! When I went back to the ortho after my dental appt., my cool assistant did everything. We talk a lot. So when I was in the waiting room, I read about a new movie coming out called "We Need to Talk About Kevin". So as I was sitting down, I asked if she had heard about the movie. I don't think she heard me.
So, after a few minutes, she asked if I go to church somewhere nearby. And then she started talking about where she goes to church. I was thinking "wow, weird questions"... Anyway, after a few minutes of talking, we both realized that
she thought I had said "We need to talk about heaven"!!!! I am still laughing about it today!!!!
oh well--I WANT these teeth to move!! No pain, no gain....
