Brace Faced...

Oh my gosh...

Countdown

Phase III

The Pendulum is in...

gosh... I guess my teeth really are crooked... look at that!

I now have this lovely device fixed to the roof of my mouth. My speech is funny, it's hard to drink a smoothie from a straw, and I feel like I'm slowly turning into a robot.

I'll have this for the next 8 weeks and then I get full braces (as long as my molars obey and move they way they should).

But there are some positives:
1 - I won't have braces when I'm in Zoe's wedding
2 - No more stupid spacers
3 - I've quit biting my nails
4- I don't have any sort of dental appointments for 8 weeks! I've been at least once a week since the beginning of March... this is amazing :-)

... to be continued ...

Your job...

Ok people... we are down to the wire here... and I need your help to pull this off!
Today - I was prepped for my last two gold crowns to be put on July 2nd.

Your Job:
PRAY!

I have 3 possible teeth that at any moment could calm down or flare up resulting in the need for more root canals... Nobody wants that. Especially at the cost they come at. Just in case, my dentist has me holding onto a prescription of penicillin if I should need it in the near future.

In the meantime, the date has been set for braces to start on JULY 7th.

That is Phase I of braces... then I have Phase II and III the following 2 Mondays to put all sort of junk in my mouth including gluing something to the top of my mouth that I'm not too sure about.

So... I'm asking all you who stumble upon this blog,
to please pray for me, my teeth, and the wisdom to know how to get all these bills paid!

I'm sure glad my Abba owns the cattle on a 1,000 hills :-)

But I don't like Thursdays...

Well friends... I just went to the Orthodontist...
and pretty much signed my life away for the next 2 years.

It's a humbling thing, really.
The Lord told me I needed to be in a season of waiting and seeking Him right now.
It's a really hard thing to do and to not try to make things happen my way...
and now, for at least the next 2 years, I won't be going anywhere long term until my teeth are taken care of
(and my bills paid off!)

I know the Lord will provide and He cares about every tooth in my head - I have a long process ahead of me... life's never boring.
Sure glad God's in control :-)
