Just a quick drop bye to thank you all for caring about me and the tooth.......
Oy....what a day I had....drove 25 miles to my dentist, took an x-ray, said looks bad, you need to go the endodonist...get an appt. for 12:15, a work-in, so I go to work for 2 hrs., head to endo...listen to his spiel, "well, I would like to save it, I recommend saving it, but I really can't tell how deep/bad the crack in it is til I perform a root canal, but you can have it extracted"...I'm in the chair getting more fidgety about it all, my head is hurting and I'm about ready to say just yank it.....when Dr. says "well, if you were my wife, I'd suggest going ahead with the RC"...so we discuss terms (my insurance doesn't kick in til 7/1, get that worked out) and away we go for the RC. Now I'm not frightened, but I get very apprehensive and when they start loading up my mouth with paraphanalia, I start really getting antsy...and as he is working, I still feel pain...so I live through it all and he
then says, well, the crack looks bad, I'll call your regular dentist to discuss. Comes back and says "we both think it wise you get it extracted".......

So, with my mouth numb to jell and back, I go 2 buildings up the road to an oral surgeon. At this point I'm crying cause I'm upset, by myself and just having a pity party. I get to the oral surgeon and you would think he was digging a bouldar out of my jaw, it was pretty blood pressure raising....I figured with the local (plus all the crap left over from the RC) it would be a piece of cake.......WRONG...it was rough. I got home, had a good meltdown and I'm feeling much better about it all and getting ready to go lounge around. Enough drama/excitement for one day. I did not fill the script for pain, it is called Norco?? and she said "you can't work, drive, or do much of anything on this pain med"......so I think I will pass and use Motrin. I also have a script for Vicodin from the RC doc....wanna get them filled and we'll have a party

Thanks again for all the good wishes....I did just fine, I just got my blood pressure sky high with anxiety, but I'm a big girl and can take it.

I actually was better being alone...I just made my own decisions and got on with it............I do have a couple stitches so I have to go back to that mean ole nasty place in 10 days.............
Deena, is CKU anything with Creating Keepsakes? Oh my, tell me all about it, I want to KNOW............sounds fun
Mac, we can be chinese together, although I don't think Motrin will have the same effect as whatever you are dosing.......
KS, off to the motherland...........have a blast, think of us...........just have FUN, FUN, FUN
Pam, are you barking like a dog today when you hear a siren??
Momma, sorry your fav aunt went home...I hate saying goodbye, I always cry. I'm not a good-bye kinda girl...always makes me sad.
Jules, all the kitty's are very cheerful.............glad you posted them. My doggie immediately started sniffing my face, and has been hanging around me, he knows I don't feel well.
I'm hoping to be more normal tomorrow, I have a ton of errands that need to get done........I'll see what the morrow brings
