Thanks for all the comments yesterday and the empathy.
I was still feeling the effects of the vaccine booster this morning. I didn't feel well and had a terrible time trying to sleep with sore arm last night. I didn't have a fever so I decided to go to the dentist and just get it over with. No point putting it off. I thought about it. Really wanted to cancel, but I knew it would only delay the inevitable. It went okay. I got a little teary laying there thinking of Mum. She was always the one who talked me through going. I was thinking about that laying there. I could almost hear her telling me it would soon be over with.
It's all done now. It was a little over an hour and a half appointment. I have a temporary crown on until I go back in January to have the permanent one put on. My arm is still sore, but the body aches have gone away now - or are just out ached by the pain in my mouth! The dentist said it would be a couple of days before my gums settled down again as the work was done close to them and they became inflamed.
With my mouth still numb I went for a quick walk as it was sunny. I didn't do a lot once I got home - just my usual Thursday bits.
I did manage to hang up a couple of Christmas wall hanging things I found at the dollar store. I don't spend a lot on decorations but I quite liked these.
Yay, you got through the visit to the dentist! Very cute holiday ornaments! :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad it is over and done with (for now at least). The decorations are actually wall hangings. I thought they were quite good for $1 each! I have ammended the post to add that too lol. I probably should have said that was what they were.
DeleteYes, good job making yourself go in. It would have been a good excuse too (if you get that...like a legit one...at least that's what I do when I don't want to do something and a suprise "out" comes into play...I can use that to not do what it is I am supposed to do...I hope you "get this") I have to have a procedure next week that I'm dreading. The nurse called and actually gave me an option for an "out" but, I said I would rearrange and make it work. Same reason, prolonging the inevitable.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I went. It would only be putting it off. I decided to not use it as an excuse even though I was very tempted! Hope yours goes well!
DeleteWell done for going ahead with the dentist appointment and also for making a start on your Christmas decorating. xx
ReplyDeleteI love those Christmas ornaments, especially the first one. Great fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you sleep better and that all the aches and pains subside to practically nothing. Well done for going ahead anyway - it's done now. xx
If I remember right, the second appointment is speedier than the first when it comes to crown stuff. I think that's right, although I try to forget everything the minute I get out of the door!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. I'm not as worried about that one although I still won't like it as I am a scaredy cat when it comes to going to the dentist.
DeleteI love those wall hangings. I want to use some fabric scraps and make an appliqued and quilted one. Glad the dentist wasn't too terrible.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds nice. I hope you share on your blog!
