But, all last week, a bracket was scraping the inside bottom of my lower lip on the right side. Ended up hurting like the dickens by the end of the week. Funny thing is though, only hurt when I ate, so by Friday, I was basically drinking my meals. Now, this week, it's the inside bottom of my lower lip, left side....WTH??!! Same thing.
I've run my tongue and fingers over the outside of those 2 brackets a hundred times to find the culprit....but nothing. I can't feel anything sharp, pointy, nothing! I thought maybe one of my wire ties had poked out....nope. Not a dang thing is to be found. But the inside of my poor lip.....looks like hamburger. And not the lean kind. The bloody, greasy....I cause heart attack kind.
Happy 8 months to me. 8 blissfull months....only to end up...a whale.
I know, I know....use wax. But I swore since I made it through my initial induction into braces without wax, that surly I can make it through anything else. But.....I swear, if this keeps up, I'll be able to whistle with my mouth closed. Because I'll have scraped a hole all the way through my lip. I'll be like a whale. With a blowhole. Just call me "ol Jensceana the blowhole". Maybe that's what my avatar can be. A whale. Jensceana....the whale. "sigh"
I was glad for it to be over.
That thing is moving like Paris Hiltons legs on a Saturday night!
