Its Over!!

After a year and 2 and a half months its finally over. That's right Angela is braces free. I have been braces free since Wednesday. I like it a lot. It was weird at first because my teeth were all smooth, and when I looked in the mirror I kept thinking that I would have braces.. nope.
Thursday I had to go in to get my retainers and the top clear retainer fit nice and my bottom didn't fit at all. They tried fixing it with this one thing that didn't really work so the other lady helping came in and tried to soften it up so they can reform it to my teeth. I kind of worked but now it doesn't fit at all. I asked the lady why it didn't fit any more and she said because when they took my braces off my gums were swollen from the braces and that over the day my gums had decreased in size so that the mold that took no longer fit my teeth now. The lady scheduled an appointment to get my impressions redone and get new retainers since my gum would be back to normal by then. AWESOME!! I am excited for my new retainers even though I might have a lisp. HA HA.

Take Your Daughter To Work Day?

Let me give you a brief run through of my day. At 7:30 I had an ortho. appointment with Dr. Ostler. I am not one to normally be excited and anxious about orthodontist visits, but today I had a reason to be. Today after getting my braces tightened and the rubber bands on in a "v" shape, which by the way is hard for me my gums have moved right up to the brackets making it a 5 minute battle just to put one rubber band on. I learned that that was my last appointment for adjustments and that my next appointment which is July 6th is when I get my braces off. The lady at the desk when we were making the date told me that they would give us a call if an opening came up because I am actually supposed to get my braces off towards the end of may to the beginning of June. I am so excited.
Then we went home and waited for 9:45 to come around for my allergy testing appointment. We came in to a little room and they took my blood pressure and asked me a few questions about my health. Previously in the car on the way to the appointment I had asked my mom if they made her do a breathing test. She told me she couldn't remember. I suck at taking the breathing test. They had me blow into this tube that tested to see how much your lungs could hold. I took a deep breath and breathed out like the nurse told me to but I could not for the life of me try to hold it out as long as she wanted me to. After about 5 more tries she asked me to sit back down in my seat. I was so mad that I could not finish one breath test. Anyways the doctor came in and also asked me a few questions on when my allergies first started. Dr. Walker was very nice and was also very funny because his voice sounded exactly like Kermit the Frog. After a few he had me sit on the nice bed seat thing you sit on when you are being examined. He examined my ears, and my nose. When it was time to examine my mouth he told me to open as wide as I can. Well when you have rubber bands on you can't really open your mouth as far as you could with them off. So I was opening my mouth just wide enough to put 2 fingers in my mouth length wise, I later checked. Next after he left the nurse came back in and we started testing. It was much easier then the last time I was tested. It was just about 15 small pricks on each arm, instead of having your back all carved up like the last time when I was tested. 15 minutes went by and we had the results. I no reactions on my left arm. My right arm was not as lucky. I was tested for grass on my right arm, well the grass prick swelled and had turned my whole forearm beat red, and hot. The pricks that I did not react to we tried again on my arm but this time it was not a prick but an under the skin shot. It turned out that all the pricks I had not reacted to decided to take a turn for the worse. After all the testing was completed I found out that every thing I was tested for I had a reaction to. Dr. Walker came in and prescribed me Singular which should help me with my allergies and asthma, nasonex, and an eye drop solution, and an inhaler.
For lunch after the appointment mom and I went to Inca. It was good except I had to break the chips in half so I could fit them in between my rubber bands. Then I drove my mom and I to Pasco to go to a nursery. We found a beautiful Dogwood tree. We bought it and brought it home. While mom was out doing some erans I thought that I should start on the hole for the tree. I had the hole done by after dinner and mom let me finish it on my own. It actually stands up straight. I am actually impressed by my planting skills. I will have to post a picture. Well I definitely have more to blog about but that's for another day.
