GOT 4 TEETH PULLED TODAY.....

wow...have to say i was seriously scared and it went better then i expected. i read alot about Iv sedation on the internet and i thought i would be a little more knocked out then i actually was lol...but im good. im very happy i decided to go ahead and get the sedation cause it was TOTALLY worth it!!! i went in and the darn dentist only made a referral for 2 teeth and darnit there was 4 that really were causing me pain...so of course being the drama queen that i am, i began to cry cause i cannot afford to get this done a million times! its 300 bucks for sedation! so the lady said hun dont cry, we will have Dr. Blocher pull all of them and he can submit the information to the insurance after and it will be approved! that was awesome! they were sooo nice to me there im so happy. so i went back in the room and the one thing i didnt know was that you still get the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) so they put the mask on me and told me to breathe in through my nose...well now my previous experience with nitrous was horrible, it didnt do much of anything except annoy me that i had something on my nose! lol....so i began to cry a little...and the dentist came in and he looked at my arm...well sure enough he couldnt find a vein so that made me cry harder! yes i am a big baby! so then he said well i can get it here in your wrist....it hurt! but then it was over and he said ok relax....so i began to feel a little LITTLE LITTLE woozy and thought ok this isnt so bad....well then he put the numbey gel stuff on my gums...and uhoh then my roof of my mouth....so now im not feeling that good yet...so im breathing hard trying to get this nitrous in me haha and trying to calm down so the sedation will kick in....and then he says ok here comes the pinch....well lemme tell you it was a bit more then a pinch...BUT it was NOTHING like when i havent had the sedation...it seemed to only take a few seconds rather then a few minutes and i only cried a little! then he left....but the nurse was still in the room so i talked to her...i talk when im nervous...lol...so that poor lady i was talking her ear off...then the dr comes back in and im like well im not really numb yet, and he says your good...and i immediately start to panic...cause thats what i do...lol...so then he is in my mouth and theres a little pressure but then all of a sudden theres serious serious serious pressure and a little pain....it seems that one baaaaaaaaad tooth on the bottom didnt want to come out!!! stubborn teeth....so then all of a sudden when i feel like im going to go out the window with the dentist haha...it popped kinda and then he stuffs the gauze in and he says ok bite down...what??? hes done??? yep! you did great he says! have a good day! wow im amazed cause seriously it only took about 2-3 minutes at the most!!! so they had me sit in the chair with the nitrous on for about 10 more minutes and then they bought anthony back, guess my mom just got there to watch mackenzie....so then they come with a wheelchair and im all like well i dont need that cause im fine, but then when i got up! haha well lets just say the ground disappeared below my feet! so anthony and the nurse helped me into the wheelchair and off we went to the car....mom took us to aldis to get some soup and pudding and bananas and milk ...and then to drop off the prescription for my vicodin....although i already have some here at the house, can never have too many pain meds in the house lol...and now im home...all in all it was a pretty ok experience! its been about 3 hours since and im awake and doing ok...the gauze is out finally! i hate that stuff in my mouth like that and i HATE the taste of blood....lol...but im doing ok...and im getting a little nervous cause the anesthetic is beginning to wear off and im not sure how much pain im going to be in...trying really hard to not take any pain meds...although im sure i can get away with one vicodin for now to take the edge off if i need it....

4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

well i cannot believe we made it to 4 years already! its been a long journey and every year at this time, i always wondered if we would make it to the next one...this year, im not wondering that... i know we are going to be here celebrating our 50th anniversary (God willingly lol) and we are going to make it...we have been through soo much together i dont know what we will go through in the future, i only know we have each other and that is all we need to get through anything! people come and go in our lives and we are still standing through the rubble...there are times i have needed to lean on him and times he has needed to lean on me... im kind of ashamed to say that i have betrayed him more then once and unfortunately there is nothing i can do to change that, only change my actions from here on out... i am commited wholeheartedly to making this marriage work and i love anthony with all my heart and soul... i will never stray again! well im in some serious pain with these darn teeth, ugh thank God i am going to get them pulled tomorrow!!! whoohoo! the picture that i have as my default is the 1st day anthony and i got back together after being apart for 6 years!!! and thats our precious emily...just weird looking back 4 years ago how much we all have changed! and we miss our emily so entirely much but we know she is being loved and couldnt be happier for her and that we have mackenzie to smother with love!
