Coffee:
Being old means Medicare Advantage which means dental coverage, at least for the stuff I have needed done. I have a great dentist less than 2 miles from home. The hygienist is very sweet and greets me like an old friend twice a year. I don't even get anxious anymore. Prior to this I went to the dental school here and they were cool. Had no luck with the porcelain crown so I have shiny bling on my last molar which withstands my grinding. I had to pay at the dental school, but it wasn't bad.
Happy Birthday, Dana!!!
I had two cracked fillings redone today and have a consultation about a root canal on Friday. I did fine during the appointment today, but now I have a stress headache. I hate anxiety.
This morning I have 2 appointments with 2 separate dentists -- the permanent crown from my root canal is in at the emergency dentist who did the root canal, so I see them at 10, and then I have a broken filling (I swear I'm not trying to copy you, sj!) that my regular dentist is repairing at 11:30. Lunch will probably be oatmeal. Or a smoothie.
Ugh. Rough night last night.
Got to sleep a little after 10:00 p.m. Was awakened by loud pounding on my apartment door an hour and a half later. It was the fire department, responding to a 911 call from the apartment below me about a gas leak. They checked for leaks in my apartment (furnace closet and kitchen), didn't find any, went away.
Adrenaline spike took a long time to ebb. That and the brain weasels kept me awake until after 2:00 a.m.
This morning my back is sullenly telling me that leaping out of bed to answer the door so quickly was a very bad idea. I am mobile, but just barely. Waiting for pain meds to kick in.
Today is going to be difficult.
I'm sorry for the miserable night, dcp. I hope the pain meds do their thing quickly and you can get some rest.
Happy Birthday Dana!
Hopefully the pain will recede as the day goes on, dcp.
Happy Dana Day!
{{{dcp}}} yikes! None of that sounds fun
Happy Dana Day!
Know how sometimes you spend $600 on your dog before you've even had your coffee?
The vet just called. Good news is its just a injured dew claw and he'll be fine. I'll pick him and some meds up on the way home. My poor little boy.
dcp, what a night! I hope the rest of today is very chill for you.
Permanent crown on at emergency dentist, back home briefly, towels in laundry, bed made, meditated, about to run back out to regular dentist to fix the broken filling. Soon my teeth will be invincible.
Dental ~ma all around, people!
Hope your back pain has eased uo, dcp.
I hear you re: the doggo bills Trudy. Sitting in the vet's office right now for some routine Birdie maintenance. Then she has denta work coming up, which is very on trend around here, eh?
Also... Happy Dana Day!! Hope you are enjoying it.
