Yep I'm still here

I have been asked about the Blog. Yes I am still here. So much going on.

Back to the dentist on Wed. the 16th. I sure hope we can get the infection taken care of. An autoimmune disease is so hard to live with. Too much pain and too much to go wrong. Looks to me though I will keep my jaw. That was sure a scare!

I just have not felt like sitting up and typing much. I still promise to get those pictures of the fair up, Esp. for you Ms.T

The house looks great and I really love it!!! I will post pic's for that soon too.

Thanks again for prayers emails and esp. snail mail because I know that takes time to do ah shucks just for me.

Love to you all

Getting There

It’s been a while but, doing a house redo and being so sick at the same time is really hard so writing about also was just asking too much! : )

I am doing much better at least up and around and not needing the pain meds so much. The infection is what is causing so much pain I’m told so when we finally get that gone the rest is cake!

I’m not sure we will ever get the house clean of “dust” again. We pulled up carpet, a layer of linoleum and sub floor, put more plywood over the sub floor in one room and now today the hardwood floors go in!!

Tomorrow (Saturday) new furniture arrives so that means as soon as the floor guys leave we start to paint.

OUCH!

Please pray

Found the cause of all the pain I have been in for a few days now. I have a major infection. I just got my prescriptions filled and I am back home. I have Penicillin, and since the Vicaprophin didn’t work for the pain we are moving up a notch and will try Percocet. This to hold me over through the weekend until surgery on Tues. It will basically be a root canal because a few years ago the crown was done wrong. Dr. hopes to be able to save both teeth on each side of this tooth too. The Xray was really awful no wonder I hurt!

I hurt from the tip of my chin to behind my ear. Swallowing and moving in anyway just sends me through the roof! The Percocet that is suppose to be stronger than the vicprophin also does not cut the pain.

Because I have been on Fosamax for bone density loss after the chemo. I chance the loss of the bone and the teeth on each side of this tooth. Also I pray my body wont reject what they use to” fill the tooth" with. I was told it happens. Well now that scares me because that is what my body does best. Me and my bodies antibodies thinking parts of me are foreign objects. Like a kidney transplant and you reject the kidney, my own thyroid is one of the things I already deal with for example.

All this because when about three years ago that dentist didn’t put the crown on straight or down low enough to keep stuff from getting up under and in there. Thanks this was great timing with no dental now too.

– hope I make since remember I am on drugs –

taking it easy today

My legs won’t work today. I walk like I’m drunk very wobbly and running into things. I seem to feel over all yucky something is not right hope I don't catch something! I have had a toothache that is getting worse too. Jeepers complain today huh? It looks like it will be a couch. I hope I don’t have to go to any of the stronger, but for sure will need some vicaprophin.

Trent and I need to go pick out the slab of granite. We already told them the color, now we are looking at the actual slabs. We will do that at 1:30 ET

So other than that I can just be a couch potato today.

So Busy

It’s been so busy around here. Yesterday we picked out the granite for our counter top in the kitchen and then went and made a pick for the back splash. We went with a center “stripe of stone’ that will look nice with the fire place. Trent said he would give me a dollar if I would let him push me around in the baby seat on the cart? I said if I would fit he could keep his dollar and I would do if for free!

We got home then I went our shopping, not sure what for. I was kinda looking for curtains as these wont match any more. I came home and told Trent I bought a chair and ottoman! Ahhh, I can’t wait for it. It’s down filled and so comfy!! I bought it at Pottery Barn. I did find curtains there I liked too they just were out and are on back order so….

The wood floors will be installed soon they are all ordered and paid for just waiting for “our turn”. I think it will be about 2 weeks. Today I am going to go look at bedding for the master bedroom and shower curtains and towels.

As far as the Christmas shopping I only have a few small things to do. I need to do Lauren and MissaAnn birthday.

It’s almost 11:00 am and 65’ we are looking for about 77 for our high today I hope Texas is seeing some of the cool front.
