PORCH PONDERINGS

Braces!

I just posted my last entry to the Banana Bar Blog. So back to the porch.

The weather is typical Montana spring stuff - 75° one day, snow the next. But we do see a bit of green around. And my lilac bushes are budding out. Hurrah!

I'm starting a new journey - braces! Yep - who knew that at this age I'd get braces on my teeth. A long time coming, let me tell you. But they were necessary for crowding, trouble keeping my teeth clean and my jaw dislocating. So last week I got my Invisalign braces put on. You cannot tell they are on, and it's quite an amazing process.

Every 2 weeks I change to a new set of clear plastic braces, top and bottom, that will, over the course of 18 months, rearrange my bite.

The braces are very thin, I have to wear them all the time, except to eat. At least 22 hours a day.

So far so good. No pain. They fit well. You don't even know they are on, and no one can tell I am wearing them. Amazing!!

We're finally getting our remodeling project back on track. I pray in a few weeks it will be completely finished. That will be such a blessing when it's done.

Enjoy spring wherever you are. Ours is coming, it's slow, but it'll be here in a few weeks.
