Whew!

  • cut my hair, showered and was at the oral surgeon's by 12:15
  • he loaded me up with three vials of Novocaine (or the equivalent)
  • he started on me at 12:30. Sawed the tooth in half (the root was dog legged) and dug a lot, put in synthetic bone graft and sewed me up
  • I was on I-10 headed back into town by 12:45! Seriously!
  • I got almost to Walgreen's and the engine was overheating and steaming
  • I stopped on the side of a shady street for a few minutes for it to cool down a bit
  • I then ran stop signs to get to my mechanic
  • Ran picked me up and took me to Walgreen's where I got pudding, Diet A&W Root Beer and filled the painkiller and antibiotic prescriptions
  • rested at Ran's until the car was ready at 3:30
  • called So to tell her it all went well
  • I had left the A/C on low and it was cool in here when I got back
  • I am gonna enter the debit card amounts for the past two days into my check book
  • then I'm gonna take a nap

You've really had a fun day. Now you can wash cars tomorrow.

Mary Christine said...

Wow. Sounds like we were both at Walgreen's getting the same prescriptions at the same time - just a thousand miles or so apart.

Hope you feel better soon!

Glad you're OK. You may need those pills tomorrow--or to get to sleep tonight!

Dr Steve has spoken here!

You're not taking the "root and branch" aspect of our program to extremes, are you?

Sounds like quite a day! Hope you are doing okay today (Saturday!)

What a day; patience and perseverence, not to mention pain. Hope today is a comfortable one for you. deb

I'm glad that you are okay. It sounds like a bad afternoon and one that warrants some rest.

Scott W said...

LOL Syd! I read that as warrants an arrest!

When I woke this morning I felt like someone had socked me in the jaw, or what I would imagine it to feel. I took some pain medication and did my work at Lambda and feel pretty normal. My jaw is really sensitive, though and I will guard it.

Thanks, everyone!

Entering the debit amounts in my checkbook would have precluded me from taking a nap !! You must be really working a good program.
Just kidding...and I'm glad the siege is behind you.

for you, this was LONG today. Lot's of info. I like that.
The cool apartment was smart! That way you could get under the covers and nap good.
