Woahhh

Almost forgot to change retainers today! But thankfully I remembered, and woahhh do they ever hurt. It's almost Christmas so I'm nervous they will still be sore, but nothing will keep me from feasting. I remember a few years ago when I got my wisdom teeth out a week before Christmas (now that's a story) and I ended up getting dry socket and being in so much pain. I had a packing on my mouth wound and could barely eat, but I did NOT let that stop me from eating small bites of Christmas dinner. I actually had to resort to ibuprofen, which I haven't had to rely on for months. But it has helped the pain so it's all good. I am about halfway done and the progress is amazing, so I will put up with minor discomfort to get my smile even better!
