Pearly White Misery

The 2 Milk Teeth were feeling shaky since last year. So, after discussion with the Dentist, decided to go for the braces.
Was feeling ok on friday when i had the braces done. But it was Ultimate Torture over the weekend!! Had terrible splitting headache on saturday, and was unable to eat anythg except porridge and liquids. Instead of 2 shaky milk teeth, it feels like all the teeth are shaky now. The teeth and gums are so sore/sensitive now that i have difficulty biting/chewing food. *bleah*
Meals outside home are restricted to soup, porridge, or mee-sua. Feel damned deprived when the other people are munching those tidbits, chocolates, cookies, crisps... *droolz* And Dr Chen only mentioned that i should avoid curry as it will stain the ceramic brackets.. i thot i only need to sacrifice tomyum cup noodles, korean spicy soups, and north indian foods. And when he mentioned that i should keep to "soft foods" and that my diet will change, he conveniently forgot to tell me that i won't be able to chew! :( Hmmm, the horoscope did mention that there will be a change to my routine this year... so maybe this is the change???
Gotta pray that it's gonna be more bearable for the next 15mths... I'm already starting to countdown wishing that it's Oct'08 with a snap of the fingers... *sighz* ... the price you pay for vanity...
The only consolation is that i can still eat my Haagan Daz ice cream, chawanmushi, whipped potato, and yoghurt. :)

he forgot to tell you "no drinks that can stain" ie no tea, coffee and coke!! You dont want white tracks running on your teeth.
