Tooth is MUCH better…..
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Well, I had part of the root canal yesterday. I have to go back on the 28th to finish it. I was scared to death, because I had no clue as to what was going to happen. I kept waiting for it to hurt, but it never did. Occasionally, I felt the needle go in, but most of the time I never knew it. The front part of the tooth still had a little infection in it, so it was a little more sensitive than the back part. I don't know how many shots he gave me to numb it, but it took several. There were times when I could feel little sharp pains, but I figured out if I could endure it then it would go away once he got the nerve out, and I wouldn't have to have another shot. He was a very nice dentist. He kept asking me if I was ok. His assistant kept saying you are going to cut the circulation off to your hand, and I said well I am just waiting for it to start hurting. When I got out of the chair, my shirt and pants were soaking wet from sweating. The overall experience wasn't bad at all, so I guess I got all worked up for nothing. He said it would be a little tender for a few days, but so far it hasn't hurt. My jaw has just been very sore from holding it open for so long.
I had a good birthday. Emma Grace and Wes made me a birthday cake, which we have photos and video from. They also gave me Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill’s new cds, and Wes monogrammed something for me. We will have to post it soon. It is soooooo cute. Grammy got me some perfume. We ate at Copeland’s, since we had to take Emma Grace to the doctor Monday afternoon. She has had a cough and snotty nose for about a week. She has had no fever. I called them last week and they called in some medicine for her, but it didn't seem to work. It was mostly for the cough. Since we are going to Disney on Saturday, we decided that she needed to get checked out so she wouldn't get sicker. He said everything looked fine, but she had a slight infection. He prescribed an antibiotic. She HATES taking it, so we have to trick her and put it in her sippy cup. Last week, she would cough right after she went to sleep, and then that stopped. Last night, she decided she would have a few coughing spells. She hasn't coughed much today, but still has the snotty nose. She REFUSES to leave her clothes on. If she comes in the living room with them off, she will tell us that she doesn't know where her clothes are. If you go in her room and find them off of her, she says will tell you exactly where they are. She is our little entertainer. She can repeat almost everything she watches, and LOVES to sing and dance. It doesn't take much to have her dancing. She is talking so much too, and is SO dramatic about everything. When you ask her what her name is, it is so cute how she says it. I think we have it on video, so maybe Wes can get it on here. She also loved to walk around and sing happy birthday to me. She would go in her room, and we could hear her in there singing happy birthday to mommy. It was so cute. I don't think we have it on video, but we might. We went to the fall festival at the school last night, and she LOVED the pick up the duck game. She didn't want to leave it, but other kids had to play. We took some of our stuff over, and I sold several ponytail ribbons and bows.
We leave Saturday for a week of Disney. We were going to leave on Friday, but Wes got a call Monday to speak at a Relay for Life meeting. The meeting is from 10-12 Saturday morning, so we will leave as soon as he is finished. When they called him about speaking, they told him that he is being considered to be honored at next year's Relay for Life.
Wes has gotten some new photos up. I think he put some halloween ones up. Emma Grace went as Minnie Mouse. I forgot to paint her nose black, but she was still cute. Maybe he can get the videos up soon. I added a block over to the side for Christmas list. It is located right above the photo list. I haven't put anything on it yet. Well, I guess that is all for now.
