My mouth really hurts. I mean, not as bad as before I started taking the antibiotics for the abscess, but still it hurts to completely close my mouth.
Since Rene' is in Kansas City for his brother's funeral, I went to my dentist appointment alone yesterday. Going alone is an experience akin to getting on the highway for me. I just hate doing both. But this dentist is not only adorable but also very gentle and understanding.
I like him.
The first shot in my gums should've numbed my tooth. However, once the dentist started drilling in my tooth, I felt it and stuck my hand up really quick. He was surprised that I felt him drilling, so he gave me another shot and left me alone for about 10 minutes.
I think if I learned anything from this experience is that going to the dentist is a necessary part of life and I can get over that fear. I also learned that I will brush, I will floss and I will fluoride. Yes ma'am I will. I'd like to avoid any root canals in the future.
I still have to go back in July for him to finish whatever he started with my tooth but for the time being he put in a temporary filling.
Hey, my poor sister has been so busy giving birth and raisin' babies the last 8 years that she never has the time or money to do things for herself. I treated her to a manicure and a pedicure at my nail salon last night. We got there late though because we had a tornado warning right when I got home from the dentist.
Anyway, my sis got pampered last night and I saw that she felt pretty special. It made my heart happy.
I also treated our three little girls to manicures. They behaved like 3 little ladies. I was so proud. At the end of their manicures they got neat little things spray painted onto their nails. Jackie got gems on hers. Kayla got flowers and Leah got butterflies. Too cute.
After that I treated everyone to Dairy Queen since the girls acted so well at the salon even though they had to wait forever to get their nails done.
I got a fill on my nails and chose a pretty coral/pink color. Hai did my nails. He's my favorite and always does a fantastic job on my nails. He's very gentle.
I'm going to miss my sister. It's already Thursday and before I know it she will be heading back to Tennessee for another year. I worry about her interacting with Terry again. I have no doubt he's going to behave for a while again, and then he's going to lose it and beat her. I also worry about the impact this "relationship" is having on my nieces and my little nephew. I wonder how low one's self esteem has to be for that person to BELIEVE they deserve to be beat up. I just don't get it.
Well, I guess this is one of those things I'll have to give over to God because there's nothing I can really do but pray Renee wakes up in time.
I really love my little sister. She's had a very tough life and I think she deserves better. Why doesn't she believe that herself?
