Dentist

Its funny how it keeps coming and slapping me in the face. I go along my merry way and its hunky dorry and BOOM LIFE. My husband left on a work related trip to Nebraska on the 14th and my mom came up to help me with the kids. Things going just fine and then Tuesday I had a filling fall out and I was forced to go to the dentist. I have a death fear of Dentist…I would rather give birth again without drugs than go to the Dentist. Seriously…my kids on the other hand never miss a cleaning and I am proud to say have been cavity free for the last 3 cleanings. lol SO I sucked it up a couple of weeks ago when I chipped a tooth and went to the Dentist with the plan to return on Aug. 25th for my first cleaning in 9 yrs. Last Tuesday LIFE decided to roll in and I had a filling fall out from a tooth that was badly broken for just as long. I knew there was no repairing it which made me stay away from the Dentist all the more. I now had no choice. I had no pain but it was the PAIN I was afraid I would end up in. They got me in the next morning when they opened and 2 hours later came to the agreement that I had to have it removed. Unfortunately, the tooth had a sinus cavity resting against according to Xray so a half hour later and a race across town I was sitting in the Oral Surgeon chair. Luckily with lots of gas and numbing he was able to pull it out with cutting and no perforation of my sinus.

I spent the rest of the day recovering at home with my friend Vicodin. lol By Thursday I had the beginning of a sinus infection. Friday I lost my voice completely..that’s always fun. NOBODY TAKES you seriously when you squeak especially your kids. An hour before I had to pick my dh up from the airport I went into Prime Care and got a young baby face Dr. I explained to him what I felt my dx was because its a history thing with me. He was sure I had strep but I assured him it was pharyngitis (look it up)…he did a strep anways and the rapid came back negative. I told him not to make the mistake the last Dr. I saw there made and that is give me a weak antibiotic. The last time that happened I ended up in the ER with a mild concussion two days after I finished the round of med because I got dizzy and fell due to a massive sinus infection. He then said he was sending the strep out for a culture…fine whatever…but he was going to give me Omnicef which is more heavy duty than regular Amoxicillin. He was listening. lol He wanted to give me Flonase but I asked him if he knew whether it was safe for me to take considering my hypertension and aortic dilation. He quickly backed down, I don’t think he really knew but he didn’t want to take a chance since my aorta meaures 4.1 right now. lol

My silver lining this week: I dropped down to 216lbs Thursday because I was unable to eat.
What sucks: I have been taking Vicodin since Wednesday afternoon and I have gained 3lbs NOT from being able to eat but because of the constipation. So once I can go I should be down a few lbs hopefully. roflmao

LIFE!
