Well, things haven't gotten any easier. I am reminded daily by other peoples stories that it could have been A LOT worse. My friend Michelle had to have her jaw wired shut for almost 4 months! My friend Anna had all four of her front teeth knocked out in high school and has to get them re-done every 6 years! Craziness! My story is not that bad, but I have bad days.
I am still on a "no chew" diet, which is really annoying, I can't really smile like I use to, and I am still in pain. Today was one of the worst days at the dentist and because of a stupid dental assistance I am back on vicodine for pain. I also found out today that I need to get braces. My appointment with the orthodontist is on Saturday and my appointment with the oral surgeon is on Monday. So if I get braces on Saturday I will have a LOT of metal in my mouth this weekend!
I am trying to see the bigger picture, trying to learn what God wants to teach me through this, trying to stay positive, but some days it's just hard. I am frustrated at the pain, the time, the COST!! it's unbelievable! I do have an amazingly supportive husband who takes the BEST care of me and allows me to be sad some days. I appreciate your prayers and suggestions on food. This will all pass and I will have a straight white smile again...I just don't know when.
The first day after the accident when I was in so much pain and so sad, I was encouraged by this...
Hebrews 13:5b
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.”
I am grateful that God cares for me and my stupid tooth!
