It has been a very busy last few weeks for me
with the underlying fear of having 5 teeth extracted -
It sounds silly but I am terrified of the dentist - on top of that I had to switch to a new one as my old one retired (I procrastinated for 2 years till I finally called in January and found he had retired) so I had to find a new one to extract what I thought might be 2 teeth - I found one and by the time the appointment was over I booked the extractions for today the 26th - 5 teeth - clears the top so I can have nice pearly whites in a month or so and one lower molar that was about to go to the aching stage. I've had a few panic attacks and in the office this morning - at the tears stage -
I 'm not toothless as I have a partial plate that covers the front and two of the ones taken out so no bag lady look, potentially no teeth problems for next few years ? I hope so
the silly thing is I know there is no pain as I have to be totally put out and typically after there is no pain , my face is not swollen or bruised - and that is what it looks like today - the best results possible - not even the freezing needle points hurt (although I have taken pain killers just in case) - I just have to take it easy for next couple of weeks while the extraction holes heal. so relieved -
now I can move on and stop thinking about it - I've avoided commitments , calling people back and just could not do stuff without thinking about the extractions- potential basket case
although I had work every day, a birthday party for my 12 year old granddaughter - we made tie dye tshirts - that was so much fun - got the dye kit from Dharma trading - was so easy - I bought bins at dollar store as wells as cookie racks so sit on bins to make it easy to die the shirts -
I need to get moving for the show is coming in a couple of weeks and my grand daughter wont be able to help
I need to return calls about a horse I'm selling
and to Toronto Flameworking - now that my head is back on straight
