Late Tuesday Night

Evening folks!  I hope this finds everyone ready for the big feast tomorrow.  I know some don't celebrate like we do here in the States, but that doesn't mean you can't have a feast anyway :)  I would just like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving whether you celebrate or not.  You can use it as a day to just give thanks for the good things in your life and allow me to thank you for being part of mine.

 

I had every intention of doing a graphic for the special day, but I just haven't had the energy or creative spark to even try.  I have so many winter/Christmas ones already done I am just using them.  I had thought of doing theme entries along the way, but I never really got that done either.  So this evening I have a few bells that I had done, so I will share them.  Surely you won't mind.  

 

All in all I am feeling fairly well.  I slept through the night last night and woke about 5:45 in pain and swollen.  I got up and ate some pudding and took my med's ( I am not suppose to take them without food), and went back to bed.  It took me a bit to fall back asleep and really started my day badly.  It took a few more doses to get me feeling comfortable but it did eventually come.  I had a check up with the Dentist at 5 and it went well.  They were very surprised at how well I was talking. LOL  they don't know I am a huge talker I guess.  Out came the teeth, it was a bit painful but at the same time felt wonderful and odd.  They washed them up and cleaned them nice and actually let me rinse my mouth.  They had me use diluted Listerine and I was able to finally spit!  I went through the entire cup they gave me and asked for more.  We all got a chuckle but it felt so good to be able to swish, spit and swish some more.  I am now suppose to rinse with warm salt water 4 times a day.  I'm a bit scared to pull them out, but rest assured I will.  It maybe be a bit painful taking them out and putting them back, but it is so refreshing.  I'm one of those people who has a toothbrush and toothpaste handy at all times.  Going over 24 hours without grossed me out!  I know doing this will help me heal faster and with each hour I do feel a bit better. 

 

I doubt I will be able to eat turkey tomorrow but I know I will go to town on mashed tators and gravy.  Even some stuffing as I requested some with no nuts :)  Then of course chocolate pudding for dessert.  Yeah!  We will be going to my sisters and the majority of my family will be there.  I am not sure if I can make a complete day of it, but I will go over for a bit at least.  The pain killers make me sleepy and I definitely need to put my head down once they kick in.  I don't want to 'hog' the couch over there so we'll play it by ear.

 

Well, I had some Jello and took my pills so it's off to bed for me.  I will definitely not sleep straight through tonite.  The alarm is getting set so I can get the pills in me and not let everything completely wear off.   Everyone have a great turkey day!

 

Hugs
