23.04 (Monday): First time I went to the dental clinic! Was accompanied by 小婶婆 who met me in the shopping mall cause I didn't know how to go..did an X-ray of my teeth! She treated me to lunch! Haha I remember I ate wanton mee!
28.04 (Saturday): Met 小叔叔 and 奶奶 at their void deck! Thought it'd be faster that way cause 小叔叔 could drive me..but we were late in the end haha got spacers/separators (blue rubber rings) put in between my molar teeth!
04.05 (Friday): Took out the spacers and put the metal rings in place! Mummy accompanied me! =D
07.05 (Monday): Put in the brackets and wires on my teeth!! My braces are finally in place!! =D
10.05 (Thursday): MY FIRST EXTRACTION OF TWO TEETH!! Haha wanted to schedule my 2nd extraction to be done during the following week but I was called for RT! Haha so yea thank God for helping me make a clear cut decision!! =D Cause I was torn between wanting to get the extractions done ASAP but mummy was telling me my body's weak (got a fever the next day) so I shouldn't torture my body so soon again!! Lol so yup was praying that God will let me do RT if He wants me to do the extraction at a later date! Thank God He answered my prayers!! =D
28.05 (Monday): SECOND EXTRACTION!! Had been praying I wouldn't get any fever this time and thank God I didn't! Woohoo praise God!! =D the bleeding didn't stop as quickly this time but thank God there was no pain after I ate one painkiller! And this time I fell asleep after eating it so yayyy! Good for recovery! The other time I was so happy that the pain was gone after eating the pill that I got more energetic and didn't take a nap!! Anyway, I wanted the appointment to be on this date because it's the start of the June holidays which means no RT so won't clash! =D
It's been about 5 days since the extraction and I can't wait to be able to eat with both sides of my mouth again!! Haha will be able to do that next week and I'm sooooo looking forward to that!! =D Next dental appointment will be on 16th June to tighten my braces so the gaps would be narrower! It'd take a few months for them to close up completely and I TOTALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TOO!! =D
I really thank God that I DO NOT HAVE TO EXTRACT ANY MORE TEETH!! YAYYYYYY!! Haha unless the dentist says I'd have to extract my wisdom teeth (I have all 4 of them) after my braces are taken off or something!! Sure hope not!! Cause they don't hurt at all and he said they don't affect my braces! So yea praying that I won't have to extract them! Read somewhere that they would eventually have to be taken out because they would affect the alignment of the straightened teeth when the braces are off! Will see what the dentist says! But anyhow, I don't think I'll have to extract any teeth anytime this year so wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! =D
I wanna thank God for such an awesome 2012!! I'm one step closer to achieving my dream (contract teaching!! =D), got my braces on (something I've wanted for a reallllllly long time and IT'S ALL SPONSORED!! Just what I wanted!! Haha God never forgets your desires!! =D He remembers how exactly you want it! Even if you didn't pray about it! He knows it all!! =D) and God finally gave me an answer to something I've been praying about for a reallyyyyyy long time!! Haha it's gonna be a really exciting journey ahead and I believe things will only get better as time goes!! =D
God bless, take care and byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! =D
