So today instead of cleaning the house or cooking I was going from the dentist to the bed to the doctor. The dentist says I need some gum surgury, next week if possible. Then I’ll need a new crown on the evil problem tooth, preferably later that week.
Of course all of that has to happen before the possible fertility window, because this stuff can’t be done during the first trimester. I guess I could put it off a month, but dammit, every cycle is precious right now.
Ugh. I have a LOT of mouth problems. A LOT. No matter what I do or how much, it’s genetic and due in part to my sinus issues.
And each time I go to the dentist I feel like a bad bad girl. Like I’m not doing what I should be (even though I brush and floss 3 times or more a day and use special mouthwash). And I’m embarrassed. It brings up the toothless hillbilly issues you know. So the crown is on there for a little while longer, at least we’ll make it through this week.
Then I was exhausted and my office was a mess, so I cleaned that and it soothed me. Nothing like a bit of organizing to feel in control. Not the best use of my time, but it helps cope with the horrible feeling of dental panic.
Then I did laundry, and cleaned up a bit, and had to lie down because my eyes hurt horribly and I was shooting laser beams of pus from my eyes. And I couldn’t stop coughing.
So after a bit, we went to the doctor. He’s really nice and if the insurance works out we’ll go back. He said it’s good I saw him today or I’d have a miserable four days. Because, now wait for it…I have a massive sinus infection exacerbated by an inflamed mold allergy (cause I blew those leaves in my face while trying to work the electric blower). And that pus? Yeah my sinuses backed up not only into my throat but into and out of my eyes. That’s gross.
So I have two prescriptions and steroid shot.. I’m now hyper.
Two pies in the oven now. I’m boiling the infusion for the brine now. J is off getting medicine and the Bean is watching a movie. If I can get that turkey brihing tonight then I should be ok.
Ok, stopping now and back to work.
