Coffee anyone ?

@frustratedearthmother that sounds awful... I have terrible memories, scars in my cheeks and cement on some of my teeth but it seems quite minor of that... ugh taking my DS for his consult with the orthodontist next month...

Had braces twice. Headgear, retainers, teeth pulled as I have a small jaw. Ugh! I can vividly remember the pain.

I couldn’t swallow pills yet and I hurt SO bad! My dad mashed up some kids Motrin and I washed it down with water. After that kicked in, I ate 3/4 of a 9x13 of lasagna. Dad decided to intervene regularly after that as I was literally starving!

I remember my teeth hurting because my lips were touching my braces after adjustments.

I have a permanent retainer in the bottom front of my mouth. It’s great fun to get food stuck in.

Really praying none of my kids require orthodontia!

I remember my mom doing that with meds and adding sugar to help me gag it down. The “blessing” in this is my younger son has a feeding tube. So pain meds and food can go in no matter what.

@frustratedearthmother , I am so sorry. I can’t imagine.

Ahh, thanks ya'll! I've been blessed with great health all my life. Still take no prescription meds or have any major complaints other than a little old-age soreness now and again. So I shouldn't complain too much...

I cannot even begin to imagine the braces. Have never had them, nothing except my wisdom teeth being pulled. One got real bad & it got pulled 2 days before HS graduation... that wasn't fun. The others got taken out by an oral surgeon about 1 1/2 yrs later. when another started to give me problems. They were all impacted under my last molars, so couldn't come up through. That's where all my wisdom went...
If I had an ounce of sense in my head I wouldn't have started milking cows or anything that is so much hard work for so little return, and caused so many body aches and pains...

We had sun yesterday, melted some snow. I went to Winchester 125 miles, Tues eve, stayed over and tested one farm @ 2 am and then went to another at 730 am. No heat at the 2nd one, and the cows wouldn't come in so started nearly an hour late there. They hadn't shoveled or sanded or anything and nearly busted my butt a couple of times on the packed icy ground.
Supposed to come in with clouds, snow/rain/icy mix tomorrow night.

I can see where you are ready to retire from that job. Pretty rude of the people not to at least make it safe for you to come test their animals.

Sadly that is rarely the case. Though I suppose "require" is a bit of a subjective thing.

Been fortunate with the orthodontic work. Havent needed it and neither have the kids.

Coffees on! Good morning fine folks, hope your day goes well. I am on cup number 2 already. Going to be busy today volunteering at a local veterans center and then a nutritionist appointment.
