Eighteen days away and I am doing well. As you can see the right side is still a bit swollen; however, I am feeling pretty good. The rubber bands I have to wear are not pleasant at all, and I am usually in a lot of pain first thing in the morning from wearing them all night, and also sleeping (accidentally) on my side. I am still taking ibuprofen pretty regularly; I just cannot bear the pain without it yet.
At least I have felt like working outside this past week. I am redoing a hutch my friend Kelly gave me! I am painting the inside red and the outside white, and will also distress it a bit afterwards to give it that antique look. I usually can only paint 2-3 hours a day, and then I am pooped, but I have accomplished a lot! Here is a BEFORE photo of the hutch:
Sorry for the poor quality of my iphone pics. It is not the latest and greatest!
I go back to work Monday. Not too thrilled about it, but I must do it! I am concerned about having the stamina and energy I will need to keep up and not make mistakes! We'll see what happens!
I go back to the orthodontist on Monday and I really hope he tells me I do not have to wear the bands, but I know that is just not going to happen. My teeth are not in correct alignment yet, so the bands will probably be an extension of me for quite some time unfortunately.
On a brighter note, our trip to Edisto is coming right up and I am really excited! I cannot wait to be in the hot humidity and bake in the glory of the beaming rays of the sun. Not to mention I will get to see my family for the first time in a year! I really think it is time we headed back down south for good!
