This will be short, since I've taken some pain medication and I don't know how long I'll be awake and able to type.
They took two teeth out this morning , but it all went well. Paul took the morning off of work and took me to the dentist. I kept thinking I could go by myself, with the kids, crazy thought. I was so nervous and shaking afterward, I'm so glad he was there. I knew there was a possibility of two teeth, and I'm actually glad they did it at the same time and got it over with. It went pretty smooth, and was over in less than 30 minutes. The bottom wisdom tooth was a little harder, but it came out. They had to put one stitch in each gum where the tooth was (there was one on the top and one on the bottom, on the same side). I am thankful its all on one side, its easier to eat and such.
We stocked up on soups and soft food, got my medicine, then Paul took off to work. I called to chat with my sister for a few minutes (she lives over an hour away) and she said she wanted to come out and help. I told her not to, but when I hung up I knew she was going to come. Sure enough about 30 minutes later she called and said her and her daughter are coming out, take the kids out to lunch, and make sure I'm o.k. She'll stay with us until Paul gets home. I love my sister so much, she's always there for me.
I'm not feeling much pain yet, but I'm still a bit numb, and like I said, I just took the pain medication they prescribed me. Usually any kind of pain medication knocks me out, so far, I'm not feeling anything. I'm sure it will kick in soon, I hope.
OK, I'm going to try and read a few blogs, if I can, and rest. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. I'll be back in full tomorrow or the next day.
Thank heaven for sweet sisters! How wonderful that she could come and take care of you.
Hope your level of pain is small...two teeth! Yikes!!
Blessings and love, Mama Karen
Oh, I will pray for you. I dread going to the dentist next week because I am having trouble with a wisdom tooth that has come in. I hope you find rest and some peace and quiet.
Wow....ouch. I'm guessing it's probably better to have them both on the same side. Maybe you'll be better able use the other side of your mouth sooner? What a blessing of a sister!

I'm not overly fond of the dentist, so I understand the shaking. I would rather do just about anything before I have to go to the dentist. Praying for a speedy, and painless recovery. Hope you slept well!
Oh dear! Sorry to hear about the tooth thing. I would hate to be a dentist - NOBODY likes going to them. :) That is sweet of your sister to come help like that! Get plenty of rest & take care!
This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
