Friday 6th February 2015

A new day today, gave me a new opportunity to improve my speech and eating ability. Finding that my tongue gets tired after too much talk. Eating is a drama. I made a mango/berry smoothie around lunch but was still hungry so I cooked up a couple packets of beef 2 min noodles and gave them a go. I pretty much had to suck them down and avoid getting them stuck between the metal... Foolishly tried to eat some BBQ potato chips but didn't get far with those.  This afternoon I ate an arnotts chocolate monte biscuit, with a bit of difficulty but I was determined ;-)

Each time I eat, I have to rinse my mouth out and I also brush and check it out, to make sure no food is stuck anywhere. 

Im dreading next week..., not being able to eat. Looking forward to 6 months time when I get this plate removed! Braces will be a breeze on their own! :P

Even up my bite
Yesterday, I noticed that the right side of my bracket (well the hardened glue) was sitting lower than the left side, which resulted in my not being able to bite down flush with my teeth. Rather, one spot on the right would make contact and that was it.  Last night's grilled fish meal was nothing short of a disaster trying to consume... Although it tasted so yummy (Mecca Bah).  I digress!  So I made an appointment today and went back to Dr Lane's office to have it fixed up.  Yasouf I think his name was, basically polished off a bit that hits my bottom teeth and it's a lot better now. Not perfect, but I won't complain... 

Now I'm off to slurp, er, eat dinner. Thai Mussaman curry at Khin Khao. I figure I should be able to eat the potato no worries, but not sure about the beef/chicken. Let's hope I can get something down!

So my thai dinner was somewhat of a success!  I managed to slurp the curry sauce, suck down the rice and do the same with the potato pretty much.  Couldn't eat everything, so brought home leftover Massuman beef & potato curry and coconut rice. 

Watched American Sniper at the movies. Awesome movie!!  Off to bed now. Hopefully I don't drool so much tonight...
