Hi there brace facers! I realize I'm a little late posting but things have been pretty crazy in my neck of the woods! I got a new job and while juggling that and my other job and school it got a little out of hand. But I'm back :) And happy to report that the swelling of my gums has gone down again :) YAY! And when I seen Dr. Haug's staff March 13th they replaced both wires on the top and bottom and boy was that a trip. haha! The top wire went in real smooth how ever the bottom one was a little more stubborn than planned but with much help and a little bit more pain than usual we got it! Since the wire was a little more ornery than usual we had to put a rubber band on one of my front bottom brackets which looks a little silly considering its red.... but I'll live :)
