Hi Sara,

Thanks for the advice as always my fav train buddy!

This mouth is hurting so much today. I have the wire cutting me, my

cheek tore up from biting on it, and now an ulcer forming on the

bottom. ARGHHH!! I am trying not to talk much today, but it is nearly

impossilbe here at work. I did use the wax last night but noticed this

morning it didn't help stop the biting on the cheek. You can't put

wax on the cheeks.

Anyway, I will survive this like we all do, it's just that fun

recovery stage that even though it feels like forever, will be better

before I know it. Now how's that for positive talking?..(haha)

Have a great great day in Italy land! I bet some of that good ole

Alessandro special wine would cure all my problems...(haha) Tell

Alessandro to throw me a bottle over...(haha) I have my glove on now

waiting to catch it. Okay, time to roll off because I am getting

silly!
