I finally – after almost a decade of wanting – got my labret pierced. This was a little over three weeks ago (I got it done on a Saturday).
On Friday, work decided they didn’t like it and they wanted me to remove it.
Long story short, I’ve been “hiding” my labret piercing by wearing a clear retainer but without screwing on the ball (until home time when, basically, I’ll do whatever the hell I please).
Earlier, I had my lunch and was sat in the staff room picking at my teeth with my tongue. I went to play with the back of the piercing, like I’ve been doing for over three weeks now, and…well, I couldn’t find the stud.
I must have swallowed it.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my previous entry!
My brother is doing MUCH better now! He’s amazed the doctor; his lower jaw was broken in two places, dead centre (chin) and the left-hand side (the bit where it connects to the upper jaw).
His chin is healing very well, with the help of a metal plate and some wires, which makes him look like he’s got braces again. The side of his jaw had to be left broken, because the break is where all of his nerves are and they were worried that they might paralyse half of his face.
He’s not on any painkillers and only has the tiniest patch of numbness; the doctor said that he should be rolling around in pain without any painkillers (remember – his jaw is still broken!) and that half of his lower jaw should be completely numb.
He’s been told that he has to be very, very careful; a knock could break the side of his jaw further and then they would have to operate, even with all of the risks involved.
His broken jaw is very handy though; every time he winds me up, I just threaten to punch him in the face. I wouldn’t do it but he doesn’t know that and immediately shuts up.

I was travelling up to Edinburgh on Wednesday, stayed in Edinburgh on Thursday and travelled back from Edinburgh on Friday. That’s a nine hour train ride both ways. I have loads of photos and things to say about my little trip – AND I have some other things to talk about – but first, I have something else to say.
Anyone remember my entry on my brother getting beaten up and stomped on, which I wrote around two years ago?
Well, I got back to Plymouth on Friday and was around Myke’s to have my dinner. I sent a text to my mum, letting her know that I was back in Plymouth and all safe and stuff and that I was around Myke’s house. I got a text back, saying “Your brother’s going hospital, he’s been attacked!”.
I rang her immediately. She said that he got attacked less than half an hour away from our house, his friends brought him back home, he’s spitting blood up everywhere and it looked like he was going to lose some teeth.
A while later, she rings me back and tells me that actually, his jaw has been broken in two places, he’s going to have to stay in for a couple of nights and he will need surgery and metal plates to hold the pieces of his jaw together.
I am absolutely livid. The attacker is part of one of the local gangs the police are supposedly “dealing with”. Well done, police; you’re doing a marvellous job!
Anyway, my brother’s doing well now. He’s still in the hospital but should be released at some point today. He’s on a lot of painkillers and will need to return to the hospital for checkups but he’ll be fine.
