I've got so many appointments and dates on my calendar at the moment I don't know whether I'm coming or going. So it's nice whenever I get reminder calls from my doctor's or dentist's office of upcoming appointments. Today I got not one but two reminder calls from the orthodontist for my appointment on Monday. After my last appointment a couple of weeks ago I was not exactly sure what we were going to be doing this next time in the process of getting my mouth ready for braces. They put spacers between my upper molars the last time, so I'm looking forward to getting them taken out so I can floss. But I was sure that my third and last visit (for now) on November 6 would involve actually putting the braces on my teeth.
Wrong.
In both of my reminder calls I was asked if I was ready to get the braces put on, because that's what on the agenda for Monday's appointment. Crap. I wasn't expecting that but I guess I'm ready for it. Kind of getting used to my mouth being sore: it was sore after my oral surgery in August, it was sore for a week after they put the spacers in. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Needless to say this coming weekend will be a gastronomical orgy of tooth enamel gouging foods, snacks, and candy that I won't be able to eat until November 2009 (at least).
On a journey to the heart of darkness and futility.
