If you're following me on Facebook, then you're well aware of the fact that I'm in copious amounts of pain. Basically, everything sucks right now. I keep reminding myself that the end result will be worth it. No pain, no gain, right?
The inside of my lips feels like pulled pork. Listerine burns like the fire of a million suns. I can't chew anything, I can't eat anything...I feel terrible. At least my adorable kitten knows that I'm feeling bad. She's been by my side all evening. She's currently curled up on my bed. I'll be joining her shortly.
I hope I can make it through the work day tomorrow. Maybe I should have taken 2 vacation days instead of just the one.
Try this instead of Listerine:

Listerine has alcohol it in and will dry out your mouth (which is terrible when you have braces)
Warm salt water rinses are also very soothing when your cheeks are all chewed up.
I'm sorry you're in so much pain. It will get better!!
