The New Me!!

I have had a crazy week by all accounts and am starting at last to feel like myself again..Although the view is a more than a little different!!

I had my front left tooth removed last Wednesday. I was very scared, but it didn't hurt at all, thanks to the magic of anaesthetic(sp?)....I have to wear a plate with a tooth attached for 5 mths, while the screw in my gum heals....Sounds rather gross doesn't it??

So I have a brand new smile, (and a brand new haircut to match!) but a mouth full of plate and a hideous hag/witch like appearance when the plate is removed!!

I was in pain for a couple of days and then 'discomfort' from the plate, which I am still having!!

BUT...I had the stitches removed yesterday...YIKES! That hurt so much, my whole body was lifting off the dentists chair!!! I broke out in a sweat - everywhere and still have marks where I was digging my nails into my hand to distract me from the pain....

Anyways...I am on the mend and was just marvelling at the photos Rodda took of me! I am so used to facing a certain direction for the camera to disguise my grey, crooked tooth, it kinda of shocked me to see my new smile - great from any angle!!

The bottom photo is the before shot, taken by the lovely Lisa Pate while we were in Sydney..Mind you, I have photo-shopped out the discolouration... The top one is me, three days after surgery...I look good, considering the amount of painkillers I was throwing back!!




On a scrapping note...I have almost finshed my first layout for Paper Pesto Lots of lovely Scenic Route papers.. Stay tuned for a sneak peek!

Bye!
