Glad tomorrow is Thursday

Wow! I have had an eventful week.

On Monday I worked for 1 hour (at 6:00am). Then I left and went to my dentist appt in Artesia. The dentist stated that I was definately his challenge for the month. I went in because My teeth were KILLING me slowly! Anyway, he pulled the top back and the bottom back molars on the left side. The he reversed 2 root canals and then pulled those teeth. Well, PULL is not the right word. More like, tug, crumble, dig, pry, twist, shake, etc. All of these tactics were used. With in 30 minutes he had the 1st two teeth pulled. Then it took an hour and a half to pull the 2nd two. He ended up having to dig into the jawbone to get one out and then leave the tip of the other in there and hope the gum will just grow around it. The dentist was GREAT!!!!! I did not even cry - which I usually the entire visit starting with the 1st shot. That afternoon, I was in so much pain! Now, even as Wednesday comes to a close I am still in a lot of pain (nothing like on Monday but definately still some). The inside of my mouth is still all tore up and my lip is swollen and discolored. Please send me some healing thoughts and prayers. If the gum doesn't grow around that tip we will have to go back in and dig it out----so please keep me in your thoughts.

On Tuesday, I returned to work. (Probably too soon - but I need my paycheck - starting a new job I have no sick leave!) Anyway, On my "lunch break" I took Houston to the vet for the first time. He got a GREAT checkup. Everything is great and he got is 1st 3 shots. He wieghs 6 1/2 pounds. Then I went home for a nap before returning to work.

Today has also been more productive at work but still really painful. I know that some of you have asked about school - I can't find my tax return papers. I NEED them to fill out the financial aid paperwork. I don't think I can afford to go without it. I have gotten on the IRS website to just look up the info I need but can't find it. UGH! I was supposed to meet with the academic advisor but had to work late that day and had to cancel my meeting. I was going to meet with them this week as a walk in but have been feeling so bad so I haven't. So, I did get approved to attend but I need all of this other stuff to fall into place.

It is late and I have one more day of work tomorrow. I work a shift and a half so basically will be working for 13 hours. Hope my toothless mouth holds up. I better get some rest. Good night!
