HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

  Yellow roses, happened to be my Mother’s favourite flower. So, for you Mom, this rose is in remembrance of you. I know you are there around me, as sometimes, I can feel your presence very close by.  I cannot see you, but know you are there. I love when you come to me in my dreams at night, and lately, I’ve had many wonderful dreams. Some don’t quite make sense, and I wonder if there is a secret meaning hidden in them somewhere, as if you are trying to get a message across to me. Maybe, one day, I’ll discover it. Other’s are quite funny, and I wake up laughing at your sense of humour, even from the great beyond you can still make me chuckle. You are always remembered and so very much loved! You are not just a loving memory, but a living presence! You are the whisper of the leaves as I walk down the street, you are the smell of fresh, wind blown laundry, and clean fresh sheets, or the favourite recipe, that began with you that I make and my thoughts go back to you. You live inside my laughter, and are crystallized in every teardrop. You are the place I came from, my first home, and the map, I follow with each step I take. You were my first love, my first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate us. Not time, not space……not even death!

On this day, I honour you! Happy Mother’s Day my wonderful Mom!

I’M HAPPY AGAIN

It’s over!!! Two and a half root canals finished today!! My tooth is saved, my pain is gone, the wallet is empty!!

This past week has been one of anxiety, pain, spaced out on drugs and plain misery, since the first root canal procedure on 4 canals in one tooth. This morning at 10 am, I sat myself down in the Endodontist chair for another session while he tried very hard to clear out the calcified root canals that had become infected. The first needle in, hit a nerve and I jumped, and the second needle did the same! The dentist said they always  hope to hit a nerve as it freezes faster and better, so I could now relax. Yeah….right!!

I must admit, the whole two and half hours went very well. They where able to go down one canal  the whole way, and clean it out, the second, they could get down 3/4 of the way, but hopefully it will remain okay as is, and filled it back up again and the third one they got down until the root curved, and that MAY require surgery, but months from now. The fourth root, they couldn’t find, so maybe there isn’t one?????

So, I wait for a month to see if everything settles down, and then go get a cap on it, then hopefully, it will be okay for years more!! All for one tooth, but a very important tooth!!

It’s OVER!!

Thanks to everyone for their kind support and sympathy, and especially a big thank you to my wonderful husband for putting up with my moaning and groaning.

Bill, your e-mail this morning, had me laughing out loud and it was so funny, I had to read  your email over and over, getting a bigger laugh each time!! You and Dianne are wonderful!!!  What a fantastic sense of humour you both have and such wonderful caring people. I love you both!!

So, enough of this hysteria, I’ve been going through and on with other things!

Tomorrow is a new day!!!

 

 

LIFE HASN’T BEEN GREAT LATELY

I’m back for now, however still not feeling great with this tooth and the infection, plus the change of medication, and so many different high power drugs in my system, that I feel quite “WONKY” at the best of times.

I spent the whole weekend in bed, in much pain with a cold compress pressed to my face. Finally called the dentist and they changed all the medication and it was almost instant relief when I switched. The first antibiotic just wasn’t doing the trick, nor was the Tylenol. In fact the infection has spread down along my bottom jaw line and couldn’t even bare to touch ANY of my teeth with even my tongue!  I still have tooth pain, but it’s manageable now but still remains a dull ache.

Tomorrow, I go back again to the Endodontist for the second session. They called this morning to see if I could come an extra 1/2 hour earlier to be able to spend more time then the two and half hours it took last time.  So, I expect another week like the last week……but maybe I’ll be wrong and it will go more smoothly. It’s been one hell of an ordeal!! Why can’t I have normal root canals and not ones that are turned to calcium and for the dentist it’s like clearing out stones, and for me….it’s hell and then some, but he keeps me pretty frozen, however, I still sit very tense waiting for a shot of pain to send me through the ceiling.

When infection develops in your system, it can really play havoc and can be quite serious should it spread everywhere. Right now, I’m sort of okay, but heading back to bed. I think it’s the medications doing me in. I just need to be in the prone position and hopefully sleeping!!

So, hopefully, I’ll be able to tell you about my ordeal tomorrow and there will be better days ahead!!!

SORRY NO RAMBLINGS

Sorry everyone, no posting until this tooth gets better. I’m down and out and living on Advil, Tylenol (all EX STRENTH)and Antibiotics and just about ready to jump over this balcony at times with the pain!!

I’ll be back when it’s better. Dentist appointment is on Thursday, but I’ll call him on Monday to see if he will take me early.

I’m sitting here at 12:52 AM in terrible pain!!!!!!!!.

More soon! If I survive!
