Not a good day here yesterdays Dentist visit was not at all enjoyable, the Valium did not have the same results as the RC Dentists pills did
It barely took the edge off of my nerves so of course the Novocaine kept wearing off meaning she had to give me 4 or 5 shots and I guess the back molar wasn't easy to reach so there was lots of pulling of my cheek
Needless to say I came home took a pain pill I took a quick nap and when I woke up I was in so much pain I was almost in tears the tooth I guess from all the work was throbbing the gum around the temp crown is all raw and this morning I can't open my jaw more than a little bit plus that side of my face is swollen
I guess the big difference is when the RC dentist retreated everything was done inside where as with a crown everything is on the outside of the tooth
So needless to say I am in a pisssy mood because I hurt and I am hungry I had some soft mashed taters last night but I am afraid to chew since both sides of my mouth are sore
rofl what in the hell was I thinking scheduling to major dental thing in the same week
oh yeah because the insurance benefits run out at the end of the year
I have a feeling I am to going to be doing much today I am going to do everything I can to fell better by tonight so I can go to my dear friends xmas party
Sorry about the dental pain Karla, have you thought about a new general dentist? Your RC dentist can refer you to someone who has more compassion. I have had lots of dental work done and have never had raw gums nor pain so bad I had to take pain meds!
I'm at work and that will be that for me today. Rain, and more rain here. I was stuck in downtown express way traffic for 25 minutes this morning because of accidents. Then I got into work and set off the alarm system!!! Not the best way to start out the day, but what the heck I have all day to turn it around.
I hope you feel better Karla and here is to a wonderful Friday to all the rest.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Karla, so sorry to hear about your tooth issues. The last filling I got, the dentist didn't novocaine me enuff and when I hollered while he was drilling, he said, "Oh, didn't give you enuff, huh?" and then the jerk laughed! Thank Gawd it was my last visit to him before we moved.
When you go to your friend's party tonight, be smarter than I was last night. I just got out of bed at 11 and I don't feel so good. My own fault. Haven't done that in a long, LONG time!
Evey, welcome back to Florida. Don't you just love the lack of urgency everywhere you go?
We're raining here, too, Sandy. Much needed, but I'm not crazy about the tornado watch that's in effect till 1.
SInce it was raining this morning, no walk to the gym. Good thing. I really didn't want to do that anyhow. Something tells me I would have had to toss my cookies somewhere along that route.
Finally getting over the headcold, and now I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I give up! On the bright side... better this week than next!
My brother and his wife are in the Keys at the moment. I feel so sorry for them regarding the weather. This is their destress vacation from two very stressful jobs.
Going to go for a walk in a little while if the stomach calms down.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday no matter what!
Today I was waffling between doing the 40 min. anaerobic interval workout or a cardio workout, so I did half the anaerobic one then the 30 minute cardio workout.
Sorry to hear your mouth hurts, Karla. Hope you feel better in time for your party; considering the fact that you're kind of a force of nature, I'm sure you'll do okay! Sad Sad game last night. Great fun until the very last minute, but bummer ending.
hey all I spent most of the day sleeping I think most of the issues are from the reaction to the tons of Novocaine she gave me I couldn't take the benedryll like I usually do because of all of the crap I took
So when I woke up yesterday around 3 I had chills and a temp to go with my swollen mouth
I was told ok lets review the situation now do you really think you need to be going anywhere so I was really pissed that I missed the party and went back to bed.
I am still swollen and lol cranky
I plan on discussing this with her when I go back to have the perm crown put on if I don't get the answers I wil ask the RC dentist for a referral.

I would get that referral, Karla. There's no reason you should have to have gone thru this.
