YEA! today I got the financial green light to schedule my oral surgery! If they can do the impressions this week my surgery will be the week of July 22. If they cant do them until next week then the oral surgery is the week of the 29th. School starts August 18th so that cuts the trip to Kentucky down to 14-16 OR 10-12 days. More if I think I can handle traveling earlier.

 

I am just so excited to get my teeth fixed. This is truly a dream come true!

 

Josh and I are going to do some pictures afterwards. Sounds like so much fun!

It's just one of those "cant un-ass the chair" days. My blood pressure is higher than normal today. So that makes the tooth that just broke, yes another one, throb even more. Picking things up off the floor is just not happening. It feels like my upper jaw will just explode. Thank God for pain meds because I was told I cant or rather shouldn't have anymore antibiotics until a week before the oral surgery. I need to write down how the dentist told me it would go, the procedure and payment schedule that is. most of the time I haven't got a clue that i have 4 abscessed teeth. Other than I am temperature sensitive the only thing I feel is throbbing every once in a while. Not cool though is I do the same thing with sinus infections. I have had many sinus infections and the only way I know I have one is my nose will run when I bend over and i get more headaches. well more is not really correct. I have learned that the head ache I get with a sinus infection feels different from the one I get almost daily. None of my meds will make it go away either. So I go see the doctor and tell them I have a sinus infection. My primary believes me but my last primary and the ER don't. Sinus infections are supposed to be painful, very painful. When the x-ray of my head came back though they stared at me like I was a bug! I'm getting used to that one. Its a running joke around our family for medical professionals to ask one of the following at every visit, no matter the doctors specialty. "You know its not supposed to work that way?", "Do you know how rare that is?", "Why do you want to have another diagnosis?" << THat one pisses me off, DUH, no I don't want one I was asking if I did, not if you think its a good idea. Like my visit was simply to purchase a new hand basket to go to hell in!

Holy Crap! you never really see how the population views you until your buying a laptop and you turn on the web cam in the store. OMG! That's what I look like in bright fluorescent lighting! I am never wavering from FLYlady rules (Dressed to shoes including hair and makeup) ever again in my life if i can help it!

 

I have so many blog entries in my documents folder. I keep writing them and then questioning whether or not to post them!... sheesh. So from now on they will be started and finished here on the website and not in my word processor and left for "later".

 

I'm still doing well with my weight. I was worried about what I had been reading on message boards regarding weight gain after gallbladder surgery. So far the only problem I am having is not being able to tolerate aspartame (more now than before) and NSAID's just hurt. Those two things I can live without! I cant eat super greasy foods anymore and not because of adverse reactions. They taste bad! I put margarine on my french toast and had to scrub the scum off my, teeth?... no my whole mouth!

 

So, anyway, I have a new laptop with vista on it. I am not finding any problems with vista with the exception of UN-installing Norton. That will make your puter crash! You have to go to the Norton website and download the removal tool and completely remove Norton from the system. After that everything has been just peaches and cream!

 

see you soon
