I finally got everything on

Ok I am a slacker and have not posted anything in a long time so here it is. I got my expander and wires put on, on Thursday April 5th, 2012. I went in on March 9 to get my expander fitted and then had to come back on March 12.....They scheduled me too early so I went to go get just my brackets on....how lame but the only other time they had since it was spring break was on april 5.......3 WEEKS WITH JUST BRACKETS!!!! Really????? So I go in on April 5 and they had both expanders since they had to resize me when I went in on March 9...a little confusing huh??? I though so too....So I get my expander put in and it hurts but that was the first time they put it in....they were just checking to see that it fit....well it did. They said " Oh well we should of just concreted that in the first time". So the second time they put it in they concreted it....thank you jesus...I was in a lot of pain but it was tolerable. They then put my wires on....it wasn't that bad. Then when I got home the pain hit me...I though I was going to die......I took off work the next day to sleep in and take it easy. I think that was a smart plan because now it is sunday and I feel better. My teeth are just a little sore from the wires but I am getting use to it. I am only allowed to turn my key on my expander once a day for 14 days....I am on day 4 now....so ten more days. I just have to keep telling myself that this is well worth it in the end. I will have straight teeth and a perfect smile. I have wanted this since I was little and had my teeth growing in crooked. My next appointment is on May 11, 2012 at 1:20 and I will change my color and most likely get to turn my expander again for another 14 days but probably twice a day...EEKKS!!!! It really is not that bad turning my key, it just feels like pressure on the upper part of your mouth but its makes my teeth feel better. I still can't eat solid foods except ice cream right now but hopefully I will when I go to Branson on Friday :) I cannot wait to get out of Fayetteville for the weekend. I will post pictures on here as well of my braces and expander.....
