Dentist Update…

It’s basically 9:55 am on Friday, 1/21/11, and I was getting ready for my dentist appointment when they called me like 15 minutes ago to let me know that the dentist wasn’t available and they needed to reschedule my appointment.  Throwing my whole day up into air.  But the extraction is still on but for next Friday, 1/28/11, now at 11:30 am.  So, another whole week to get used to the idea.  But now I don’t know what to do.  Should I go to work at the Brighton Center or should I go downtown Cincinnati to find my AmeriCorps co-workers where we are supposed to be doing training all day?  Right now I’m going to go to the Brighton Center where they are very short handed and could use my assistance unless my AmeriCorps people call me and tell me otherwise.

It’s Here…Pray for me…

The time has almost arrived but it’s approaching fast.  In less than 13 hours, I’ll be coming back from the dentist office with two of my teeth pulled.  As many of you all know, last week I had some very bad pain that kept me from sleeping and/or sitting down.  The pain at times were so unbearable that I had to get up and walk like crazy.  Walking was the only thing that stopped the pain.  So, finally broke down last Friday and went to the dentist office.  I had a very nasty infection that they had to clear up first before they could pull out the wisdom tooth and one other tooth.  They set up the following Friday, which is today, to come back and get them pulled.  And guess what?  That day has arrived…

I’ll be crazy to say that I’m not nervous because I’m really nervous.  So, please pray for me that everything goes alright and heals correctly.  Many things can go wrong but in the long run this is the right move right now.  One of my concerns is that this is the first pulling of teeth out since I have been diagnosed with diabetes.  How will my diabetes effect the healing process?  I’m just worry something will go wrong.  But all I can do is leave it up to the big guy upstairs.  It’s in his hands now.  Over this weekend I’ll keep you updated when I’m feeling better and etc.  See everybody on the flip side and talk to you all later.  Time for a good night rest.
