Week 1 over starting week 2 in pain

OMG, the pain is a killer. Who ever said beauty hurts, wasn't kidding. Holy Crap. Anyhow, so here is the update, I went to San Bernardino last Monday to get the spacers put in. While there, my uncle (the Dentist) said that I will need a root canal as well as the oral surgery on my left bottom wisdom tooth. So after balancing the check book, I found.. that I can't afford it. No big surprise there.. hahaha.. ok ok, so I called my uncle this past Sunday. GUESS WHAT.. his office had a fire. YUP, it burnt down. Now it was a bitter sweet moment, sucks for him but it's also a blessing cause his office was do for an upgrade. He was telling me all about it. Since I used to work for an insurance company as an accounting under, he asked me for some guidance on what to expect. So as it seems, my braces are on hold for now. I still have the spacers in and they still hurt like hell, but if my cousin doesn't find a temporary space for his practice, I'll have to take out the spacer and wait on further treatment. It sucks actually. I'd rather just get it over with than have to start all over again. I've literally been on a soft food diet for 10 days now. I've lost about 8lbs. I feel sooo tired all the time that I think my iron level is low again. I'm already anemic and after I had my baby it got so low that I was admitted to the hospital. I started drinking protein shakes, taking vitamins, and eating a lot healthier, that's why it sucks if I would have to start all over again. Grrr.. but on the upside, I contacted an old friend of mine who is a personal trainer. Well, homeboy is a lot of things, but all I wanted is his experience as a trainer. He said he would help me with a weight loss program. whoo hoo.. bad thing is he's the type that wants a little more then just his regular compensation. I made it clear that it was business only.. and no FWB (friends with benefits). MEN.. lmao.. it bugs the crap out of me that I'm only wanted as a FWB but at the same time it is a compliment I guess. I'm not saying that I'll do the FWB thing because my ultimate goal is to start my own family (well I've already started I just need to fill in the wholes.. hahahaha) but at least I have the option of getting my "itch scratched" whenever I needed it. It is what it is. Ok, more later. Did you all feel the earthquake? 5.1 north of Mexicali... good thing my English Chocolate wasn't here to feel it.
