Dentist Visit #2

I tried posting this 3 times yesterday and something always happened *ugh* Let's hope FOURTH time's a charm.

So we went to the dentist yesterday. The deep cleaning still isn't approved so I got 2 teeth pulled and Keivn had some filling sput in. I was terrified. The last time I had teeth pulled it was not a good experience. The last time, I had called them Friday evening (a guaranteed painless dentist, mind you) and they said they couldn't fit me in until Monday...then saturday morning @ 8am they call saying they can fit me in. Well, I had worked karaoke the night before so I was mighty sleepy. So i get there and they take the xrays and blah blah blah...the hygenist was really good...and when i get in the chair they numb me up and shoot me with a local. Well when they started working on it I could feel everything, so they shot me again and STILL i could feel...so they shot me a third time...and again PAIN! I'm screaming at the top of my lungs and crying and what does he do? Still pull TWO teeth out. Then they send me home with a script (and the pharmacies don't open for another 2 hours) and nothing immediately for the pain. And it wasn't even like my mouth was numb so I could coast for the 2 hours....nope I felt EVERYTHING!!!

So this time I'm freaking out and have another panic attack while I'm in there. I show them the teeth that I'm having a problem with and luckily it's the ones they're gonna pull *YAY*

To make a long story short, they numbed me up really good (2 shots) and pulled my 2 lower right teeth and also did an alveoloplasty on both of them (which is reshaping the bone for future work) and gave me a scrip for 800mg Motrin. I was so hungry yesterday cuz I didn't eat before we went and I couldn't eat afterwards. I finally was able to eat some chicken rice broth (rice and boullion cubes) later on and Kevin (I love him so) got me some soft foods @ the grocery store last night...instant mashed taters...rice dishes...soups....jello cups....so I'll at least not starve to death (of course I could prolly live off my fat for years and not starve lol) I've been drinking alot of water, which is supposed to be good for you, and cuz of the Motrin (well..ibuprofen) I've been sleeping too. Today it looks like everything is happy and healthy and starting to heal in my mouth so I'm excited. They want me to come back on Monday to remove the suture (they used one) and do more work...but Thursday next week in Thanksgiving and I want to be able to enjoy it! So I'm prolly gonna put off more work until at least after that.

I was kinda bummed cuz yesterday I wanted to go job hunting but there was no way after the dentist. I was barely in a space where I could watch TV or crochet!

Well, I gotta go wake Kevin up now. Luckily i fell asleep so early last night and thusly woke up so early today cuz his daytime chef called him an hour ago telling him he wouldn't be coming in. If I hadn't been downstairs we wouldn't have heard the phone. :-( Thank goodness he at least got to sleep at a decent time last night so he won't be dragging (much) today. I can't wait for him to get a better job tho. I know he just got this one, but then run him ragged there. None of his employees are reliable or worth a damn. I don't know how we're going to be able to go on our honeymoon next year....or even just get married...with all the call-ins they have....but that's another post!

*hugs*
