Day 66/ 14 Days Til RPE Freedom
Not much to report today. No real pain or irritation, other than my teeth just feel like they are pushing against one another. Pressure I guess would be a better way to describe it.
Only 14 days til I get this monstrous appliance out of my mouth! I can't wait!

Hey Mandy,
Welcome to the Expander club. Yes I totally know what you are going through, it really is not fun, however, you do adjust for the most part so trust me when I say you will make it. The slurping and sucking will subside in about a week. Yes I know 5 days feels like an eternity in the beginning but it will improve. Really! You will get better at eating, and talking both, and it will go by relatively quickly. You are still pretty young so you will probably have a much better time of it, as it just seems that youth is better at adapting than someone older like myself.
Glad the blog has helped calm your fears. That is why I started it as I wanted others to know what to expect. It really hasn't been too bad at all. A little aggravating, and of course maddening at times, but mostly fine.
Good luck with your surgery tomorrow I will send some good healing vibes your way. Oh...and your social life will be fine! Your friends won't care about your appliance, if anything they will feel sorry for you! And you will adjust faster than you think. Other than covering your mouth when you chew, and talking a little funny it is not that big of a deal. You will love it when you can see the results of expansion! I'm thrilled with my progress and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Take care!
Brandy
