all done

Wow - that dentist was a pro! He also looked like he hopped off the pages of GQ magazine - 30something handsome, botox, tan, "perfect" teeth (go figure) and all.....I got through the procedure with minimal pain. Getting the anesthetic shots was the worst part. I left with a very swollen face, mouth filled with gauze and feeling a little shaky and hot from the anesthetic. I can't eat solid food for at least a day, so I had a Frosty for lunch. I can't complain, though it was quite a feat to get it in my mouth and down the throat. I think I will have the same for dinner.....or maybe some chicken noodle soup - that sounds yummy!

The anesthetic is starting to wear off and the pain is now setting in. I can't take any of the vicodin until after I get Graham from work at 5. So, I just need to hold out a couple more hours. I bought a new book this morning while I was waiting for my appointment, Water for Elephants. So far it is a great read and I plan on hopping in bed with it as soon as I get Graham, take a shower, some meds and get in my pajamas!

I am thankful it is over and look forward better health overall! I hope this is a significant factor in eliminating my chronic headaches and dizziness!

L'Chaim!
