Back to elastics' after Rhinoplasty

 Its been a while since I've updated you all!  Miss me?  Of course you did. :)   Anyway, I suppose the reason for not updating everyday is I had my rhinoplasty on this feb 27 (I've narrated my whole rhinoplasty journey on "The Nose Job" tag)So, I don't see my orthodontist for last two months and I'm hoping that he’ll grant two more months rest as I’m too tired to get into the elastics world again (I stopped using that since rhinoplasty). I remember his words if I use these elastics regularly I could take this braces off within one month or two. I told my mom just the other day that it’s going to be pretty sad when this is all over with. I really like my surgeons, my ortho, and all their office staff. Gosh, I've been seeing them for over three year now pretty frequently. I sure will miss getting to chat with all of them.

I’ve got a call from my friend, Keerti (Another patient of my doctors) today. She was all talking about my our surgery experience and about her approaching secondary surgery at Ernakulum Specialist hospital (where I did rhinoplasty). She also told me that I could keep eating more and more solid food. I figure out that it won’t work just because still I can’t chew, it hurts. It sure will help with people asking me "so when do you get to take off all those braces?" with their scrunched face look. This is probably another reason why I'm not a huge fan of eating in public. I tend to have bits of random food fly out of my mouth because of the elastics too. Let me tell you, it’s pretty hot.

I went to see Dr. Rodney (my ortho) again today. Everything is looking great. He told me that now I should start putting my elastics' on both sides for 24 hours that means I should put them full time. I figure if it hurts, then I just spit it out because obviously I'm not ready. He also told me that I could take this braces off within two months if I wear elastics regularly. But I don’t think I could do that. Hmmmm lets see!  Finally my teeth had two lovely cream colored elastics hooked on it. I asked for my old green code one thinking this might be harder but my orthodontist told me that this has the same effect of green and its good if we wants hide it from getting noticed(last time also he mentioned about this cream one which has the same effect of green). But I don’t wanna hide it. I don’t mind my elastics getting noticed by others. I only mind the pain which this elastics offers hehe!!! It started hurting slowly and getting deeper and stronger.  i was struggling hard to control my pain till I reach home then had one pain killer, ketorol DT nooooo effect, this I pulled out one by one just dumped that on my garbage bin.  Relaxed on my revolving chair watching one movie on my laps… Now I’ve taken a strong decision, I want to quit… I want to end up all these toxic things… I’m sure I can’t bear this elastics’ pain. My ortho said all other treatments are been over apart from these elastics work and I don’t bother those tiny gaps which these elastics  meant to correct. So I think it would be better if I calling this off here. Mmmm I should discuss this with him when I see him next time.
