~A XMAS STORY~decorations, crowds, pixies..AND A BLOODY NOSE~ACTUAL UPDATE 11/9 p190

[disneyeeyorefan]

Good Luck, I am the biggest wuss in the world and had to be sedated to have mine out, but all 4 were impacted. It was the best 2 days of sleep I've ever had. You will do great!

 

[jwwi]

Dawn,
Good luck with your dental procedure. Valium sure helps take the edge off. Hope all goes as planned. And that you bounce back quickly.
(I did know that your video was of a family with the monorail driver, I still couldn't watch).

 

[MaceysMom]

Good Luck with your wisdom teeth.

When I had mine taken out, the nurses told me that I woke up in the middle of it and kicked the doctor and they had to put me back to sleep. I don't remember a thing.

 

[MeMom]

Hope all goes very well today!

 

[IluvXU]

Take care Dawn. I hope Ray is a good nurse to you!

 

[Spartangirl]

Hope everything goes well today, Dawn!

i'm home. very drowsy and swollen. one of my bottom teeth was fused to the bone so that's gonna hurt for a few days. ray is a very good nurse. he just left to go get me a vanilla milkshake.

be back later when i can hold my eyes open.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

So glad the procedure is over and that you are home. Don't try to do too much and let Ray take care of you..

 

[Angelrose]

Glad that you are home safe and sound. Sending pixie dust that you heal quickly.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Glad you are home now -- I thought about you a lot today (I hate the dentist) -- hope the vanilla milkshake makes it all better!

 

[winkers]

thank the Lord for modern dentistry!! Can you imagine being told to brace yourself while the barber yanks out your teeth?

I'm glad you are home....get lots of sleep and let Nurse Ray take care of you.... does he have a little nurse costume too?

 

[joy13]

I hope you are feeling better today!

I watched the MK memorial and thought is was so tastefully done and Paris speaking still chokes me up The video of the Austin is so bittersweet - what a great guy!

Take it easy and I hope you are felling better soon.

 

[punkin413]

thanks, guys! i'm glad to be home and that it's over with!

no, i CANNOT imagine that!!!! the thought just makes me cringe. ray's nurse costume consists of a t-shirt and his boxer shorts.

I hope you are feeling better today!

i know....so sad! austin does seem like he was a nice kid. what a loss.

 

[punkin413]

thanks again for all your well wishes. i'm doing good. still swollen, mostly on the left side of my face. the pain medicine is making me drowsy so i've been laying around a lot, which actually drives me nuts! so far all i've eaten is a milkshake and some tomato soup yesterday and then today i had some oatmeal, pancakes and mashed potatoes. i'm really wanting some solid food but i don't see that happening for a few days!

the valium helped to relax me but i still remember everything up until he put the IV in. that's the part i was dreading most because i'm a big wuss when it comes to needles. it hurt but i was okay. i don't remember much after that until his nurse was walking me to the car with ray waiting there and he was laughing at me because i had a huge ice pack thing around my head. that ice pack has been awesome though because you just put those frozen ice packs in and velcro it on around your head.

i was going to wait for anna to send me the 4th of july pics she took before i did this update but i haven't gotten them yet so i'm going ahead with the ones i took. before i get to those, i wanted to share some i took the past couple of weeks that i thought were cute.

first, some of my butterfly garden. i love these lilies!

the butterfly bush and the lavender are getting so BIG!

tink says hello.....

ray's been working hard along the area near our fence. it looks really good!

i love these madonna lilies too....

i took some funny ones of the doggies the other day. first is sherman. he looks like he's laughing here.....

then here's eli....

this is eli's standard position: sitting on the back porch with his head down scanning for bugs to eat.....

me and my boys.....

now on to the 4th of july. first off earlier that day i made a new friend. this little guy was crawling on the house near the garage and i thought he was so pretty!

i put him in our crepe myrtle tree next to the driveway so he could enjoy the fireworks later.

our neighbor cooked out hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone later that day. so nice of him! some of the kids were blowing bubbles and their little dog, katie, loved chasing them. it was so funny!

when it got dark everyone headed over to our house to sit in the driveway and along our sidewalk to watch the fireworks show. the neighbors across the street always spend about $3,000 on fireworks so we never have to go anywhere but our front yard - it's really nice!

waiting for the fireworks to start.....

luke figured out how to bust the glow jewelry and thought it was so cool that it would glow on his skin too!

i took lots of fireworks pictures but i'll only share the really cool ones here.

continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=32669602&postcount=2356

 

[punkin413]

the beginning of this installment is on the previous page.

the fireworks were SO good! at one point i said something like, "wishes...." and then ray, who was standing several feet behind me filming it on his iphone said, "look, it's the blue fairy!"

after the fireworks it was time for the sparklers!

then several of the parents had bought some smaller fireworks and they lit them at the end of our driveway. here's chris lighting one up for luke....

i thought these were so cute because it shows the sillouttes of luke and chris and another neighbor kid, riley, watching them.

in this one another kid, drew, has joined in, as well as riley's little sister, maddyx. maddyx was kind of scared to be so close so riley has her in his lap. it was so sweet!

after that the kids went back to playing with the glow jewelry and they all had figured out how to break them at that point because they were smearing it all over themselves!

here's drew, riley and maddyx.....

drew, luke, maddyx, riley and hailey.....

luke and maddyx.....

ray and chris hanging out while anna tries to get a picture (with my awesome new car in the background! )

luke trying to paint anna with the glow juice!

little maddyx....isn't she cute?

i thought this picture was cool. i took it of luke doing something but that's ray's mac book sitting on the cooler and look at the screen. kinda cool!

anyway, we had a good time and i'm sure i'll have more pics to add when anna sends me hers. hope you all had a good holiday too (a week late!). and thanks again for your well wishes about my dental surgery!

 

[AussieAngel]

Aww, glad you're recovering well, Dawn! Vanilla milkshakes sound great... make sure you watch lots of Disney DVDs - they'll make you all better!

What a fun 4th of July!! I had never thought of breaking the glow jewellery before... if you rub it into your skin like the kids were doing, does your whole skin glow!? Cool!

Great garden photos too, with Eli and Sherman and your little caterpillar friend!! Cute!

 

[joy13]

Looks like a really fun 4th of July! You're flowers and landscaping is really nice!

Glad you are feeling ok

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Looks like you guys had a fun 4th! I wish your friend lived closer so she could help me "train". I want arms like hers!

 

[VandyFan10]

Hope you are doing good today!

Everything should be getting a little better from here on out
