I got a call from Columbia Dental Thursday morning. I knew immediately that something was up....my gut never lies.
They told me the Nitrous Oxide/O2 machine they use to keep you out, is on the fritz, and what with the holiday weekend, the soonest the repair people can get to them is of course, the day I'M scheduled for extractions. Go figure.
Now, I realize that no one has control over whether a machine works or not. I do. But man, I feel like I'm trapped in some weird version of "Ground Hog Day". If there's a problem to be had, or an obstacle to be climbed, it's going to happen before I manage to get these teeth out of my mouth.
I've rescheduled the appointment for 7:30 am on June 2nd. Let's hope it stays that way.
I'm a little worried about the fact that I've been OFF antibiotics for over a week right now. Will another week land me back into Pneumonia? I hope not. I'm keeping an eye on my temperature, as it's the first indication of a problem, and so far so good. Let's hope that holds too.
My mother is giving me a pain in the behind on it all. She wants me to walk away from Columbia Dental. Says this is all just too much to believe. I don't agree with her. Dr. J. McKabe is just the man for the job, and I know it. When do you find an Oral Surgeon who's also Board Certified as an MD, and a Dentist? But Mom won't listen. She's totallyl annoyed at me because I won't do what she wants. There was a time when I would have knuckled under to that kind of pressure from her. But those days are gone. Sorry, Ma. This is MY life, and MY decision. I'm not stupid, and this is the course I have chosen to follow. Suck it up Buttercup!
Nice quiet weekend on the home front. The kids are with Mom. Joe is in and out, according to whim and social schedule. I've gotten 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep, and am feeling good. The dark circles under my eyes are FINALLY beginning to go way. It's been 9 long months since I was anywhere near healthy. Let's hope that cycle is about to end.
