Doing better...sort of!

Oh what a week I had, I was so sick with such a bad cold .  I am so glad to be done with taking medicine, getting my nose sprayed, and not being able to breath because I was so stuffy.  But my cold was finally gone by Saturday, however I had something else to deal with by then......work on my braces , I was not happy about that.  On Thursday, I had to go to the orthodontist to get some more work done on the braces on my teeth.  Then, the orthodontist hooked two different rubberbands on my braces too.  The rubberbands hook from the brace on my top teeth to the brace on the bottom teeth (this is on my front teeth).  So, these rubberbands pretty much keep my mouth almost completely closed.  This does not make it easy for me to talk or even sing in church.  I have to keep the rubber bands on all the time, except for when I eat, then I have to take them out to eat.  After I am done eating, I have to hook the rubberbands back onto my braces.  My mom got me some tweezers to help with hooking them on.  But, sometimes the rubberband will slip off the tweezers and end up popping me in the mouth....ouch! Not a fun experience, but I am getting better at it.  Of course, with my teeth getting adjusted to where they should be, it is causing some pain for me.  It helped that I remembered to take some Motrin before going to the orthodontist.  After I was done at the orthodontist my mom stopped at Burger King and treated me to lunch........what a nice mom I have .  I had a chicken sandwich, some fries, and a drink.  Since my teeth were aching, I had to tear off pieces of the chicken sandwich in order to eat it.  I ate what I could and ended up taking my fries and drink with me....it was great!  So inspite of the braces, the stop at Burger King made it worthwhile, lol!
