Well, dental drama notwithstanding, I'm off work for the next 10 days! Yay me! Gregg has to work late today, but then he's done, too!
Last night I woke up in pain, again, and finally had to break down and start taking the antibiotics the dentist prescribed. They said that I would only need to take them if I noticed pressure or swelling....well, I had both. And some pain, too.
I had hoped to be able to pass on the antibiotics, because I always have not-so-pleasant side effects from them, but my cheek was swelling and every time I bend over I feel this throbbing pressure in my gums above the root canal site. I called the dentist this morning and they confirmed that I need to take the antibiotics.
I'm so glad we decided to postpone our trip. Ongoing pain and swelling is not a recipe for a happy vacation. Hopefully the antibiotic will soon work and the last of this pain will be over. I really want the chance to enjoy next week, at least. Thank goodness I have pain meds to help me through!
Edited later to add: after two cups of coffee, another antibiotic, and some pain medicine, I feel like my normal cheerful self again. It's a gorgeous day outside...and I suddenly got the idea that I want to go shopping for a new summer dress to wear on Sunday for our anniversary. So I'm going shopping. :) Have a nice day, everyone!

So glad things are looking good, that sort of thing is never much fun.....happy anniversary and happy vacation😄
Shop but don't drop! I hope you found something beautiful and cheerful.
Love,
Janie
A new summer dress is a good way to celebrate. I sent you a letter yesterday. Don't over do activities though, get enough rest so healing occurs.
Thanks, Terra!
I was hoping to send you a postcard from the Outer Banks next week. But maybe I'll end up sending one from someplace a bit closer to home.
I did! A long flowing skirt with an hibiscus pattern...paired with a silky black tank top. It's cheerful and made me smile, so I bought it.
Then I got 3 new pairs of shorts, too. I was sadly lacking in nice looking shorts.
:)
Thank you, Doc!
Sorry you missed your vacation but have fun enjoying your relaxing time at home.
Hope your tooth feels better soon.
cheers, parsnip
I hope the pain has subsided for good and that the antibiotics are continuing to do their job. I have been flicking through online summer dress catalogues and have seen a few nice little numbers that would suit you. I spotted this reduced beauty at Walmart - The Sleeveless Crossover V Neck Floral Print Empire Waist Maxi Dress White S - only $24.41.
You must be very disappointed but it was wise to postpone your trip. I remember having to take antibiotics and painkillers when I had my root canal done, it takes a while for things to settle down. Enjoy your time off from work and have fun wearing your new clothes.
The Hibiscus print skirt sounds lovely - will you show us a picture of your new outfit?
I hope you're not in pain anymore, and can fully enjoy your week off with Gregg without being in a painkiller-induced haze!
I try to avoid Walmart on principle.
Thanks for the encouraging words. :)
I will post a picture of the outfit! The skirt is very long, but cool. I'm looking forward to wearing it, but first I need to find new sandals to match...and maybe a hat, too. :)
Thank you! I've decided not to let a missed trip ruin our anniversary! :)
