Approximately 14 hours from now I have the pleasure of being sedated in a doctor’s office to have my “braces” removed.

Anyway on January 8, 2010 I had surgery and had these braces affixed to my upper and lower teeth. All of them. These suckers are definitely attached to my teeth and removal includes a trip to la-la land under the careful eye of some well-trained medical professionals.

See you without a metal mouth real soon!
peace,
