Metal mouth

As most of you know, I’m wearing braces and I have always worn silver bands. They’re not supposed not be as noticeable and is the color most adults choose. The other less noticeable colors are clear and white. I don’t think I could stay on top of it to keep them the color they’re supposed to be. So grey has been my color of choice. Well yesterday when I went to my appointment yester day they took out my bands and put in the metal bands. They also added these metal hooks, there is a total of 13 extra hooks, these guys trap food behind each hook. I do not like my new hardware at all. Each of the extra hooks have already rubbed a hold in my mouth and I look down right ridiculous. I want these guys out and for the first time I’m looking for ward to getting this whole thing over with. I would show you all pictures but it isn't very pretty.

On a happier note, today as I was thinking about never talking again (I don’t feel much like talking with all the sores in my mouth) I realized that I can just sign to everybody. The only problem is that most people still won’t be able to understand what I’m saying. Sariah and I talked today about what’s going to happen and I told her that we could still sign to each other. I’m excited that Sariah and I will have a chance to freshen up our sign language skills and maybe Chloe will catch on. She has signed more twice, I think. Well I think I should rest during this nap time, until next time.
