In about 15 minutes, I’m leaving for what I’m hoping is my final orthodontist appointment that includes me having braces. I want these things off, and I want them off now. I’ve been told it is likely they’ll come off today, but I’m way too convinced they might not be. I’m also scared beyond belief at how much it’s going to hurt when they take these things off. (For those of you who have had braces in the past, as I have – for some reason it hurts like HELL to get the brackets off now. I don’t know why, but yeah…it SUCKS.)

So, yes. I’ll be back later to report what happened. Please. Cross fingers for them coming off. I can’t take anymore.
