Relief on the horizen


As many of you know, starting last friday night I had a really bad tooth ache. The gum around it swelled up and was tender to the touch. Which in turn made my jaw ache and eventually made it hard to swollow. Today, almost a week later I could not take it any more. I went by the dentist after school to see if I could see someone. They were ready to close, but the dentist took a quick look told me that with the swelling she couldn't even get to the tooth that was in question so she gave me an antibiodic, she thinks it is an infection to get the swelling to go down, and then for the pain which has been constant for a week, she gave me Loratab. This is my frist try with these, but since I took it fifteen minutes ago I have already noticed the pain going away. I also feel a little .... loopy but hey that may just be the absence of pain.

I have an appointment to go back Monday and have her look at the tooth and see what the problem is, I am afrad as it is centered around the only side ways wisdom tooth that I have that she might say it needs to come out, but we shall pray that what ever it is goes away and i don't have to have a tooth pulled.

Prayerfully, the medicine will relieve the problem/infection. But, if the tooth has to come out . . . .

I've read this after writing you asking what was wrong this morning. I have an idea it is your wisdom tooth that is going to have to come out. When I was even younger than you are I had to have all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. They were too far back in my throat to be reached by a tooth brush. It wasn't any fun but not too bad. I hope you have alaready had yours taken out and are on the road to recovery. I'm glad the medicine is giving you relief but you need to get rid of the problem as well. Love you lots. Nanny

Owwwwwwwwwwww.

I need to go to the dentist...and the doctor...and I guess I need to do it before I find myself in as much pain as you (not that there's anything wrong now, but still....)

Hope it gets fixed quickly!

(The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass has a very funny bit about a toothache.)

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
