Dice & Slice

Have you ever had one of those days that you woke up in the morning and thought "What is going to happen today?" Well yesterday was one of those days for me...I woke up with some tooth pain and this was the second time around. The first time it hurt, I attributed it to allergies and sinus pressure and it went away. I went to the dentist at 3:00 p.m. yesterday and he said that the tooth was healthy but my gums were bad and there was bone loss so the tooth had to come out. I was not prepared for that and ended up crying. That and the fact that I had only had 225 calories for the day. I had an appt. with Grace and had to cancel on her due to the circumstances. I was bummed to not be able to go! Moi? Upset about missing exercise? Very strange... My cheek is swollen today but I am doing much better. The good news is I can only eat soft food so it is limiting my caloric intake. In fact, I got on the scale and I am down to 258 so I changed my ticker :-D

I am having surgery done on my finger on Monday. I spoke to the doctor and I am going to do the surgery with a local instead of going under. $1,400 vs. $20 for my copay. Insane huh? It is on my right middle finger. I hope it doesn't hurt too much. I guess it will help in the itching department too. My rampant rash is finally starting to clear up but it still itches like the dickens.

As far as the weekend goes, tomorrow is Aunt Roberta's 85th birthday party. I will pick my mom up and take her some since she can't drive at night. I will be giving my aunt the creamer that I painted even though it is 5 years late. LOL! Her son and grandson will be coming from San Diego as a surprise so it should be extra fun. I don't have any plans for Sunday. I got The Blind Side on DVD so I would like to watch that and get some activity in. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Until next time...




P.S. I have 300 Followers!!!

  7. Dentist. ACK! I'd rather endure childbirth than a bout in the dentist's chair. So, you have my sympathy. And I hope that tooth settles down for your family festa. Deb

  10. I'm with Deb on the dentist. Would rather push a 9 pound baby through the loins anyday! I hope you continue to feel better. Take care of yourself this weekend - relax, self nurture.
    You have your finger as an excuse to kick back and be waited on!

    But, I'm sorry so much needs attention right now. I hope it goes well and that you are so happy about your local. I'm sure you'll recover much more quickly. I did, and I never regretted it.

  21. Sorry to hear about your tooth. Tomorrow sounds like fun. Enjoy the celebration. I want to see the Blind Side too, it is supposed to be good.

  22. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your tooth. Having pain is bad enough, but then to learn you have to lose it is even worse. I lost a tooth once when I couldn't afford a root canal. I cried and mourned for days after.

    The Blind Side is really good. Enjoy your weekend. It sounds like you have a lot happening in your world.
