Removal of Stitches

Removed my stitches on 27 April 2010 5.30pm. The doc injected some pinkish liquid into my wound/gums area... it swell and hurt alittle... he said was for antiseptic purpose.. anyway, the pain was bearable... within seconds, the stitches are cut and removed.

The whole recovery process went well... It really helped with the medicine and mouthwash etc... though i am quite worried about chewing on that side of the mouth but it doesnt affect much though.. with braces on, i still get to eat pretty much all the things i want except for hard or leafy vegetables... they can be quite challenging... so far i dun have much issues with meat.. fish is easy to chew... chicken, beef, pork are alright.. i had KFC last nite.. the chicken, mash potato, cheese fries are great but i gave up on the coleslaw half way... simply too hard to chew... and stuff like the bittergourd in yong tau foo is also a no... so sad... i tried to bite it off but i couldnt...

Now, my braces is actually quite yellowish due to staining... the ceramic brackets actually dun get stained.. it is the rubber bands that is on the brackets that turned yellow... they will be changed in my next appt anyway.... "accidentally" ate curry last week... 4got all about it.. after i finished then i rem... and then plus a few cups of coffee here and there... actually i also dun really care so much liao... just eat first then brush after that lor... cannot remove also like dat..

Life is short....being focus on the goals is important but must enjoy myself too... haha

Next appointment (1st Adjustment) : 5 May 2010, 2pm
