Good afternoon my Medifast buddies! I have been quite under the weather for a few days. I started having a problem with my tooth..it was actually on the last day i posted. I was eating my L&G and something CRACKED and fell..guess what?...it was my capped molar steel post and all, on the upper left side of my mouth..lol!..things got progressively worst after that happened...had to end up going to the dentist on Friday.
Here's the story: You all will not believe THIS!!
Well i was RUDELY awakened after arriving at the dentist. I went there thinking he could SIMPLY re-cement the cap & post and ended up having effin dental surgery AWAKE no less, cuz they don't give gas or put to sleep.,,i said WHAT??? I was SCARED as H... His reasoning about going ahead and taking that tooth out was absolutely valid because there was decay that had occurred underneath the cap, and he said if i waited any longer i would be setting myself up for even MORE problems later on. However, he also said he could have gone on and try to rebuild that tooth with post and all, but it would just fall out again maybe in the matter of a week or so because of the decay above the gumline, and i would have wasted $1200 for nothing...i respected his honesty. (stop reading if you are qweemish) OK..i gripped the chair and then the REAL saga began after i agreed to go on and have it removed. He ran into some unexpected difficulty getting the darn tooth out...initially, he gave me an ample amount of novacaine to deaden everything, BUT, after he got started tugging, knocking, jirrating from side to side and up and down and around and that tooth STILL wouldn't loosen up i told him to STOP and give more novacaine cuz it was hurting now...so he did...then i kid you not, ONE hour later he finally got the darn tooth out after he had to cut through the bone because the root had wrapped AROUND the tooth LORDY LORDY LORDY..i would NEVER wish that experience on'a DOG or ANYONE...i had to get 5 stitches...so i went there expecting one simple thing, and ended up being TORTURED, but he's a GOOD dentist, really he is:+) Anyway, i got some good drugs to take (antibiotics, Motrin 800, and Vicodin which makes me a little lupy which i AM normally anyway..lol)
PLUS i still resemble an AILIEN..face is still swollen a bit. Pray for me y'all:+)
Still trying to stay on plan tho. It's hard for me to eat anything cuz i'm DRUNK most of the time...lol! So today was the first time i've felt like posting. I may not be posting as often as i'd like to for a few days but know you guys are in my thoughts+)
Thank you SO much Susie, Pam, and Leigh for thinking of me:+)))...and Susie thank you for letting everyone know for me:+)
I hope things have been going GREAT for my buddies while i was gone.
CONGRAT'S to all who've loss, maintained and stayed compliant!!!!...i managed to drop another 2 pounds myself..so that makes a total of 6 pounds in about 7 to 8 days...wish it was faster..lol!
Signing off for now!
