Maureen...when you had your crowns did you have pain after 3-4 days? The back of my jaw (the very back tooth where the crown/bridge was put in) is still REALLY sore and I've been switching between Hydrocodone and Advil for pain. I don't want to use Hydrocodone too much as I know it can be additive, but I am not sure if it's normal to still feel this paiin after a few days.

 

[hannahsmomma]

Pam- I had so much pain after my crowns. One of them bothered me for weeks. i think that it just is not a good fit. It's been in for over a year now and while it doesn't hurt anymore it still feels out of place. I am always getting food stuck in it. My others stopped hurting after a couple of days.

Oh, and I am leaving for Disney today!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!!
I missed you guys!! Sorry I have been MIA but I have been out and about! Glad everyone sounds like they are doing well...except poor Pam! I HATE the dentist so I can barely even read what you are going through. I feel so bad for you. Novocain NEVER worked right for me either until I found a Dentist who realized that I needed the shot in a different place then most people. It made a world of difference but I still hate the dentist! I am WAY over due for a teeth cleaning .
Pam,
Thanks for the coupon!!! Got it yesterday!

Debbie: I will send you a PM. don't want to get "dinged" for advertising or something.
NEWSFLASH! my DIL is being induced tomorrow! New DGS on the way!!!

CONGRATS on the new baby coming! I hope everything goes great! Keep us posted. Thanks also for the PM!

I'm going to Disney World!!!!!!!! We leave tomorrow to make the trek down!!! I am way to excited to sleep!!!!!

I hope you see this in time…..
Have an AWESOME TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will all be thinking of you!!!!!!!! I hope it is completely worry/stress free!!!!

Debbie..glad that you got your Wiggles tickets. We went last summer, but my DD was not totally into the Wiggles at that time, but it was still fun. Now, she watches her Wiggles DVDs every night, so she would be totally into going to the concert. I am spoiled, my BIL works for Ticketmaster so we can get tickets to almost anything that comes to Philly. We were in the second row for Wicked...it was awesome!

I am such a chump today I spent MORE money on tickets to PLAYHOUSE DISNEY LIVE! I got row D so I couldn’t pass it up!!
I am very jealous of your Ticket Master connection!!! Since you guys all know how I am I make myself sick when the 10AM countdown begins and then I only have 2 minutes to decide! I have an anxiety attack every time!!!!!! I am serious..it is the worst!

I seriously need to make some money to support my Disney addiction and as I told Pam before I can’t count Disney Rewards dollars as a job!!!!


Shout out to....... DisneyOhana (Lisa) ,
Ahibird (keahi) ,
Sewer ,
tea4sanity (Joanne) too!!!!
Love knowing you're here for me!!!

Debbie...you could work PT at Gymboree. Hey, at least you'd get a discount (and maybe you could share with us )

 

[pbharris4]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. At this moment I am feeling the love with Advil. I called my dentist (who is a real good cosmetic dentist, he's won tons of awards, is invited to a lot of lectures, I think he's one of the top 200 dentists in the US-his prices reflect it too.) So I have faith in him. They told me it was normal to still have pain, but if I am feeling pain on Monday to call and most likely come in. I'm thinking my jaw was traumatized from being open for 4-5 hrs and being pushed on and then several shots of novacain is why it's hurting. Everything else is fine including the bridge/crowns.

Jacyln..use a waterpick..it's better than flossing and it'll get out anything stuck in there. I'm PM ing this to you because you are on your way to Disney world!!!!!

You KNOW I would spend much more there then I actually made!!!!


I finally made some decisions........................
I decided since it’s my 40th birthday I would splurge a little and we are going to stay at Animal Kingdom the two nights we will be in Disney . We used AAA, which helped a little. I am VERY excited since we have never stayed there. We got a full size car for 9 days at $204.00 and we booked the WDW November trip using AAA also. They released the MVMCP dates already!!! I was shocked!

I missed the info on the MVMCP and the Playhouse Disney Live concert ahead of time. With all I read on the DIS I cannot believe I almost missed the boat on both events! Crazy!!!!! I guess I just needed to be reading in the right place at the right time and wasn’t.

Sounds like your plans all came together for you. You'll have to let me know how you like AKL..they are putting DVC Villas there and we may check it out in the next few years. Thanks for the email by the way.

Pam..I have had pain for up to 5 days after my root canals. I swear by Advil for dental pain, since most times the pain is due to inflammation/swelling and Advil is an anti-inflammatory. If you need to use the hydrocodone, don't worry. You really can't become addicted after using for a week or so.

Tammie...Any baby news? I hope everything is going well with you DIL.

I have a funny story for you. My older DD has been looking through the American Girl catalog. She showed me a canopy crib she really loved. Since it was her b-day a few weeks ago, she does have some money she received as gifts, but she was $20 short. I told her she could earn the money by cleaning her room and keeping it clean. Anyway, while I was trying to explain the concept of earning money, I asked her where Mommy and Daddy get their money. Her reply..."the money store"

Debbie...I hear you about working at Gymbo, but have you ever considered selling your children's old clothes on Ebay? Some moms seem to do really well with that. I am sure you are like me...my kids have so many clothes, that they don't get worn very often, so most tend to stay in like new condition. Just an idea.

 

[Debbie6221]

I have sold on Ebay and plan to again but I have trouble finding the time to do the pix and item descriptions! I need to just do it but I keep procrastinating! The piles I have by the computer waiting to be sold are embarassing!

 

[Debbie6221]

I was out of town for two days and then came back to no internet! Something in the area messed up our connection and I just figured it all out this morning (SBC's fault! ).

I thought I would have all this reading to do here now and I was the last one to post! I hope everyone is OK ! I have been stressed about a few things on my end but I won't bother you guys with it all! Family stuff...school stuff...money stuff...you know... life!
Miss you all!
Debbie

I've been lurking this last week. I have been in agony this past week with this darn tooth. The dentist put me on Penicillin and I had to go in for a root canal today. I PRAY to be pain free soon! Maureen....it got to be that the Advil was only lasting 4-5 hrs and I had to take more. I may have to get 1 more root canal, but we're not sure on that one yet.

We got our new shih tzu puppy, Starbucks on sunday. He's adorable and sooo small. 2.8 lbs. Chloe my 6 yr old shih tzu is afraid of him and doesn't want anything to do with him. Now that school's almost over the marathon begins! There's picnics, dance recitals, chorus concerts, b-day parties, pool parties, appts. end of the year programs, etc. Plus there's planning for Disney.

Have to go get some more Advil the numbness is wearing off.

Hi everyone!!!!

 

[2girlsmom]

I am new to posting, in fact this is my FIRST ever post, but I had to join in on this one, cause I am SO a control freak. What's worse I am learning that having a Disney trip has made it even worse!

I have been lurking on the boards for a couple weeks now ever since my dh showed me the site, and reading through everything... Our trip isn't until 12/8 so we have time (can't even make our ADR's yet) but I have them decided of course, and give me a few more days, I will probably even know what I want to order!! But I am STRESSING OUT about everything with the trip, which of course is starting with that we are pulling the girls out of school for the week we are in Disney, what if the teachers/admin get all mad? What if my DD (9) has trouble keeping up when she gets back? AAGH!! My little dd(almost 7) I don't worry so much about, as she is little miss schoolwork, but Meag is adhd and has really struggled this year with 3rd grade, and so I worry more about her and school anyway, and being gone a week.... I tell myself that it is the week before Christmas break, so not like they are gonna be doing any SERIOUS stuff but still, I stress, know what I mean??

Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone here, and join in the fun. I feel like I know you already, from reading your posts here...

You came to the right place! Ms. Debbie is the "glue" to the whole thing!

Hi everyone !!! I've been MIA for a while -- mostly lurking. For those of you who remember when I first joined this thread in Jan., I was busy worrying about trying to get my DS into a VERY competitive private school -- well, we got the results last week -- he didn't make it. There were almost 900 applicants for 60 spots. Oh well, we were all pretty disappointed...

So, to cheer DS and I up, DH suggested we take the money we would have spent on tuition, and go to WDW -- boy, did I jump on that one !!!! So, now you can see I am the proud new owner of a WDW ticker. We'll be there Sept. 29-Oct 9. Let the obsessing begin....

 

[ahibird]

2girlsmom (Kristy) - to the club...

Pam - hope you're feeling better I don't do well at the dentist (I'm such a baby...)

Debbie - glad to see your plans are all coming together. I also need to look at ways to make some extra money...

Tammie - welcome back - sounds like you had a great trip. Congrats on the new grandbaby -- has he made his appearance yet ?

Lisa - you must be busy getting ready for your trip - how exciting !!!
Jaclyn - I know you're already at WDW - hope you're having a great time !!!

Hi to Sewer, Tinklvr (Maureen), and tea4sanity (Joanne) -

Sorry if I missed anyone... Hope all is well. Aloha -- keahi

Welcome! Welcome! We are here for you!!!!! I started this thread when I was planning my October 2006 trip and I needed someone to understand . I also have gone though some personal things where I have felt these pals were the ONLY ones who could understand where I was coming from. I can't tell you how much I feel like I know these gals now. It's kind of eerie how I feel like I have known everyone my whole life! Crazy! I actually wish we could all hang out!

My 180 mark is this Thursday so tomorrow is a big day in the control/ worry freak world for me! I need to finalize the plan with my Mom (we all go together) and be ready for her to call (how lucky am I that she does the calling).

Lastly, if you look at our check list it was designed for the crazy ! What do you think? Could be helpful.

You came to the right place! Ms. Debbie is the "glue" to the whole thing!

Thanks! I am much more thankful to have you guys!! I mean it!!!!!!I am so glad you all found this thread!

Sorry for your bad news but way to make lemons out of lemonade!!!!! Add a little pixie dust right!

Actually some of my anxiety right now is trying to decide where DD4 will go to school next year and for how many days a week.

LISA!!!! OMG!!! Are you ready!!! Can you believe it! Are the cameras ready!!!!
Talk to you guys soon.
