More movement noticed in my left side with the elastics and the carriere' (the name of the gizmo I keep calling a bar on my top left teeth) and lingual arch. I do notice more tenderness around the bands holding the lingual arch in place. I can only suspect that this is from the pressure applied (think physics experiment) when you anchor solid masses with wire, attach rubber bands on moving parts) between the lingual arch, bands, carriere'.
Atleast I hope.
We are preparing for a thanksgiving trip to the northeast. A fun trip into the cold polar vortex. Or perhaps a polar blizzard. I'm hoping it doesn't snow. Does that sound awful? I'm from the south and remain in the south because I do not like the cold. But packing has been a challenge - long underwear, socks, gloves and hat. Then I'm a bit worried about eating. Here at home I've figured out I can make do with a bowl of oatmeal. A banana. A tangerine. Scrambled eggs. But being out for the entire trip - it might be a challenge. And yes, I'm down more pounds. 8 pounds lost so far. Perhaps more. My jeans are loose but I don't want to have to go buy more.
And I'm worried I'll forget my wax. My friend forever - my wax. Thankfully I have enough for the trip.
Happy Thanksgiving!
