Be Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for.  To start with, all of you.  The cards, emails, comments, and IM's have helped give me strength.  I know in comparison this was something very small but to me it was huge and having so many behind me has made me feel so loved and so special.  Thank you!

 

Everything went as planned.  My son picked me up and got me there right on time.  The Dr. walked into the room and asked how I was.  I couldn't even answer, but rather broke down in tears.  Once I was composed I answered the questions he asked and let him know about the pain I had been experiencing for the past couple days.   Contrary to my earlier entry I did not mean my bottom as in my ass, but the bottom portion of my mouth.  I blame the play on words on the drugs!  LOL  I did have an infection in my gum below one of my bottom teeth and it had ached for a day or two prior.  Before I knew it they were telling me to wake up and open my eyes.  When I did I had no pain except in that spot.  I tried to tell him and at first I couldn't talk.  I felt like my teeth were too big for my mouth, but they assured me that wasn't the case.  He did let me know there was an infection there and he took care of it by inserting some antibiotics.   By the time the numbness wore off the pain there was pretty much gone.  My teeth no longer feel to large, and I could put my lips together.  I napped off and on all day and as I write this I feel pretty good, but did just take more med's.  I will go back tomorrow afternoon at 5 and they will remove the teeth, examine my gums and assume send me on my way.  I have to eat before taking my med's, so I have eaten a bit.  Pudding and whipped cream earlier, chicken noodle soup for dinner, but will admit I was leery of the noodles and veggies.  And then had more soup and a bit of ice cream just a bit ago.   I do hope I feel as good tomorrow.  I didn't bleed a ton, and came no where close to bleeding to death, but on occasion I can still taste it in my mouth.  No rinsing, and no spitting.  I must swallow.  LMAO  And yes, I did laugh when the Dr told me that too :)~ 

 

My son was a trooper through this all and treated me like a princess spoiling me rotten.  He has called me about 15 times to make sure I was ok and to see if I needed anything.  So,  yes he does love me.  Not that I doubted it, but it's nice to have it re-enforced from time to time.  Being 20 he isn't always as open with those feelings. 

 

I am off from work until Monday and do plan on getting back before the holiday but I wanted to make sure I wished everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving just in case. 

 

Love you all and again thank you so much for friendship and support.

hugs
