Don't Try Eating.

Goodness gracious. I swear I'm going to lose half my body weight by the time I get used to having crap in my mouth 24/7. Last night I woke up at about 1 in the morning and had to take two motrin for the pain. It was... awful. And today hasn't been any better. At all. The only thing I've been able to eat is kraft mac n cheese, which I can eat without having to chew with my back teeth (Yes. I feel like a beaver, but I chew with my front).

I took another fast-acting motrin this afternoon, which basically put me to sleep for about an hour. that was the nice part - however when I woke up it was back to the constant pressure and discomfort. Not loving this, but I keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it when I have that perfect smile in just about 2 years.

"Grin and bear it" - phrase of the day/week, I swear. I'm still hoping that this whole spacer deal gets easier, but from what i've read/heard, it's not going to. Pray for me! LOL I'm going to need it.
