braces cont'd

aiyeeeee.... yesterday my 2nd visit to the dentist's proved that i am a very brave girl!! haha.. *bhb*

kaoz i think i shant give a blow-by-blow account of the details lest i gross everyone out.. wanna hear details can ask me directly yeah... *whahaha* but the gist of it was...

1) I pulled out 4 of my teeth.. yar sounds terrible rite.. i think so too... actually the dentist told me he's pulling out 2 at first.. den after pulling the 2 he asked me whether i wanted to pull the other 2 as well or wait till another time.. and i was thinking, y not, since my teeth's gonna hurt like hell anyway, might as well get it over and done with rather than going through all this suffering all over again the second time rite?

so the result of that is that...
i now have 4 gaping holes in my mouth which continuously tastes like blood esp yest cuz the stupid wounds refused to clot.. (I think i've turned into a part-time vampire.. when i woke up this morning dried blood was lining my lips... =S) and which looks real gross cuz you can see the blood where the teeth used to be.. and is damn painful too, and traps watever food i try to put in my mouth (like eggs or tofu or orange juice saps..) so its really a big hindrance.

2) And now (omg i can't believe i actually got myself into this for 2 yrs... *faints*) all of my teeth hurt. you see, the molars hurt cuz there's this metal ring fitted around them to anchor the braces, and they're like, cutting into the gums... then just in front of the molars my teeth doesn't hurt cuz they've been pulled out *rolls eyes* (refer to 1)... and then my front teeth and the teeth near the front teeth also hurt cuz with all the wire pulling my teeth straight, they're under constant pressure.

eeks....... so basically i feel like dying now cuz i can't eat cuz obviously i can't chew, can't brush my teeth properly, can't talk properly, and can't go out cuz of all the reasons just mentioned earlier. all in the name of getting a set of nice straight teeth. sigh i didn't realise i was this vain until now. Hah..

I keep trying to psycho myself that it's not pain at all and if i focus really hard enough then maybe the pain will really go away!! And as u can guess, it's not exactly working very well... so the onli remedy is to TAHAN..... ren ren ren...

on the *doubtful* bright side, though, all this wanting-to-die-cuz-i-can't-eat-anything syndrome is helping me lose weight. but then its not making me jump wif joy cuz i think i'm losing weight too fast.. i think i lost abt 4kg already... that can't be healthy can it? and anyway i might gain back that 4kg after the pain subsides and i can eat normally again...

Oh boy do i just HATE people who are born with perfectly straight sparkling pearly whites...!!! The lucky pigs. *pokes tongue*
