Teeth Be Gone

Well not all my teeth are gone, just 2 more. Umm ouch. I thought about bailing once I got there, but went through it. I have 2 less teeth in my mouth than I did yesterday afternoon.

It took maybe half an hour to get them out, and it wasnt fun. I had the head phones on for the tv but of course just my luck it wasnt working properly, so it wasnt much of a distraction. So instead of being tense (which I was pretty much the whole time!!) I tried to relax by praying. Take the focus off of me. These days I find that Im doing alot of praying. Mostly for my sister, my family, friends, etc. Its good.

So back to the teeth. They finished up, and when he got the 2nd one out I didnt even realize that it was out. Basically, alot of pressure, pushing and pulling. Yuck. So I sat up, and the assistant was going over the healing process... and all of a sudden I started to feel very hot & sweaty, light headed, and started seeing stars. Since I didnt get a chance to eat right before I went in, I was feeling quite weak! Luckily she had some juice she could give me and that helped.

Im sore today, but all inall feeling well. This morning we had bible study, and before we went in I called the dr's office to say that Eli's ears are still dripping like a tap. The left more than the right. She said she'd talk to the dr, and would call me back. She called me back an hour later to ask if I could come in so they could swab his ears and give me an oral perscription.So he's going back on the antibiotics.

To be completely honest, Im feeling a little frustrated. Our specialist told us that at the slightest sign of an ear infection to call and come in. Well everyone at their office is on holidays. When I called back today I asked them if there was a reffering dr who is taking any patients that may need to come in. No. The best she can tell me is to go to emergency. I understand that they deserve holidays too, but dont most dr's leave an emergency contact number for their patients? This isnt an emergency, but I just think its a little irresponsible, and frustrating! Ohwell.

Keep you posted on how things go with his ears. And its one week from today that I get my braces on!
