I had my dentist appointment three days ago, on Monday, and of course I would also happen to wake up with a dreadfully sore throat and cough to make matters even more uncomfortable. I ended up not needing the root canal so my bill was only $455.00 instead! That's still a lot of money but at least it's half of what it was originally supposed to be.
After the appointment the right side of my face, lips, tongue gums everything was incredibly numb but my husband wanted to order a pizza so I tried it eat. It was a bit awkward and uncomfortable but I managed to eat two pieces and a couple breadsticks. I went into the bathroom afterwards and when I looked in the mirror I noticed the entire right side of my bottom lip was terribly swollen and bleeding! I looked closer at it and realized that I must have been unknowingly gnawing on my lip while I was eating. My lip really starting hurting once the numbing shots wore off at about 9:00pm and at this point I just wanted to curl up on the couch and watch movies.
Tuesday I woke up and my voice was completely gone. I went to tell my daughter "good morning" but no sound was escaping my lips. After a few cough drops and some Tazo Zen tea I could finally talk somewhat so I called the doctors to set up an appointment. They couldn't get me in until the next day at 4:00pm. I was a little upset but I stuck it out.
Wednesday I woke up feeling worse than the two previous days! It was finally time for my doctors appointment and I couldn't wait for them to prescribe me some antibiotics to get rid of this awful sickness. But of course with my awful luck, she only tested for strep and it came back negative so she sent me on my way...!
Now to today, I am laying down, watching cartoons with my daughter, drinking some hot coffee and sucking on cough drops trying to feel a little better before work tonight. I'm thankful I asked for Monday-Wednesday off to recover from my root canal, although I didn't get the root canal I did get this awful cold/flu/crud Monday so it all worked out perfectly...I mean, as perfect as it can be considering how miserable I have felt.
I really haven't been in the crafty mood throughout all of this but I did get a few things made yesterday!
I put a few of those items in my shop but sadly when I tried on the beautiful nautical sundial necklace it broke! Hopefully I can get some good glue to fix it, the sundial is suppose to stay put but became loose and keeps falling instead. It's a little disappointing but I'm sure I can get it fixed somehow! Speaking of which, does anyone know of any good jewelry glue? I was using E-6000 but I heard it can cause cancer so I was hesitant on ordering it again.
OH, I almost forgot, I'm doing a giveaway for a pair of crocheted plum fingerless mittens! Just go to my Facebook page and you'll find the link posted on my wall! The giveaway ends on Sunday so hurry and enter.
