When it comes to persistence, I am a hard person to persist, but I have persisted in doing two things that are of great significance to my life, one is getting my teeth fixed, and the other is getting pregnant and having a baby.
Tooth-shaping is really a very painful process. Before tooth-shaping, you have to wash your teeth, take photos, and take dental casts. The most uncomfortable thing is to take dental casts. A whole lump of mold mud is stuffed into your whole mouth, and you almost suffocate. When I first stuffed it, I vomited it directly, and it took half an hour to put it back in. I fought back the urge to vomit and the feeling of suffocation, and I tried my best to breathe through my nose. I felt it for a minute and a half.
After the most uncomfortable process of taking off the upper and lower dental molds, I felt that the whole person was ruined. I didn't feel any pain when I pulled out my teeth with anesthetic. I just felt that the doctor clamped my teeth with a pliers and twisted them, and my middle teeth came down. Then, while the anesthetic was still strong, I bit the hemostatic cotton for half an hour, so I put the upper braces on it. As a result, I couldn't help but drool and cut the wound when I went back. Then the next day, in order not to drool, I lay in bed for a whole day. If I have saliva, I will swallow it down my throat gently. I haven't eaten anything all day. When I am thirsty, I will get up and bite it with a straw and sip it gently.
Since then, my teeth have been sore every day for a year and a half. I can't eat spicy bones and vegetables, and I have tofu, eggs and noodles every day. In this way, my mouth is still worn by braces every day. I brush my teeth three times a day, and others can brush my teeth for five minutes at most. I can't clean my teeth for at least ten minutes. I dare not touch carbonated drinks, and coffee and milk tea are out of sight. In this way, my teeth are still decalcified. In the first month, my teeth were uncomfortable and particularly painful. I didn't eat breakfast every day, drank some milk and boiled water for lunch, and waited until the evening to eat tofu soup and noodles. I lost more than ten kilograms a month, my face was thin and my stomach disease was aggravated.
Finally, it's time to remove the braces and wear the retainer. The result is even more difficult than wearing braces. When wearing braces, I can at least eat two things and drink some milk outside the dinner. Because I have to clean the retainer thoroughly every time I take it off, I basically haven't eaten snacks or drinks outside the dinner for half a year to avoid trouble.
I finally wore the retainer for half a year. I wanted to stick to it for half a year, and then I accidentally got pregnant. The doctor said that my health was too poor, so I should pay attention to strengthening nutrition, so I didn't bring the retainer. After a month, I found that my teeth rebounded a little, but fortunately, it didn't deform much after more than eight months, but the pain of pregnancy came again. I was hospitalized with a threatened abortion to protect my baby, and I stayed for three days.
I finally managed to keep it. I had abdominal distension every day in the second trimester, and my thigh root was particularly painful at night. My back ached badly when I slept in the third trimester. The most speechless thing was that I caught up with hemorrhoids. It was hard to walk in the first few days, and turning over at night was like going over mountains. Fortunately, I saw that other pregnant mothers recommended me to buy a pregnant plant in Taobao. After using it for more than a week, it was much better. Now the external hemorrhoids are almost gone, and I don't bleed when I go to the toilet. If there are pregnant mothers who commit hemorrhoids during pregnancy like me, they can buy them and try them, which is quite effective.
Now that the baby is almost full-term, I hope I can give birth smoothly. The baby will not be cut sideways or torn, and the baby will be born safely and healthily.
these two things I have to stick to, but they are also the two things that I stick to most correctly in my life. How to choose when you don't know how to choose? An elder once said: Just choose the more difficult road, and you can't go wrong. Because in this world, doing the hardest thing is the easiest way to succeed. There are many examples in this respect in history. For example, when Zeng Guofan fought the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he used the most stupid and rare method, that is, "hard-fought and dull-fought", and conquered the enemy bit by bit and won the final victory. Because, when you find something difficult, others also find it difficult, so people don't want to participate, and fewer people compete with you. After you do a little better, others see it, and even if you want to chase it, some people still find it difficult, so they just give up; Others, determined to chase after you, will only chase after your ass, and in the end they will only eat some bagasse left over from you. This is similar to the investment in the stock market. Buffett, an investment guru, once said, "When others are greedy, I have to be afraid; When others are afraid, I want to be greedy. " That's the truth. Anyone who has invested in the stock market will know that it is often the most difficult time to choose this choice. Because investors generally understand it this way, when the stock market is hot, the stocks they buy can make money immediately. If they don't make this money, it's not a fool, so people have joined the ranks of Bo silly. On the contrary, when the stock market is in a downturn, everyone doesn't buy it, but you buy it alone. At this time, it takes a lot of determination. In both cases, it is really difficult to make a decision. When you do this, your harvest will generally not be bad. The most difficult thing to do is to be able to do it continuously. Since it is the most difficult thing, it is either boring or requires too many resources, or it needs to last too long. . . In short, it is not something that ordinary people can persist in. It is really because it is difficult for most people to persist in doing the most difficult things, so the more people do this kind of thing, the fewer people will be able to persist until it is completed. Once fewer people finally finish it, there will be fewer competitors. If you don't succeed, God forbid. Therefore, if you choose to do something, you will choose to do the most difficult thing, and it is indeed easier to succeed. Of course, it will bring you pain in the process of doing it, but there is no way to avoid some pain. For example, if we exercise, it will inevitably bring muscle pain; Losing weight will inevitably bring the pain of not eating delicious food; Learning will inevitably bring the pain of not being able to play, and so on. These pains are unavoidable. Since pain can't be avoided, we should take the initiative to consume it instead of passively accepting it. The muscle pain caused by exercise can be eliminated by continuous exercise, and in the end we can enjoy the harvest brought by exercise, that is, to get a healthy body. We should consume these pains as soon as possible, and the sooner we consume them, the sooner we can gain benefits. When we really understand these truths, we will not be afraid of these pains, and even take the initiative to find those pains that are bound to come, digest them in advance, and then do it as a happy thing. Success always belongs to those who take "doing the hardest thing" as their lifelong pursuit!
