No headache today!

What a wonderous day today has been!!!

I have had a headache, jaw ache, a migraine or Vertigo for the last 24 days since returning from our trip to New York City. I was diagnosed with TMD last week.  Temporomandibular Disorder- otherwise known as TMJ. The pain that I have been experienced for the last 4 years are the same Myofascial trigger points of the head and neck of TMD symptoms. So I have hope in feeling better soon. I am seeing Ben's orthodontist for this condition and have great trust in this man's plan for my treatment.

We worked on our Science study- BOTANY today. We are studying Tree layers and tree identification. Ben commented on how he had studied the heartwood of the logs he split the other night. They will be doing bark rubbings next week. We are enjoying watching the Horsechestnut tree bud this week.

I am enjoying feeling good today so I baked brownies this AM while Kenny did his math online. After lunch, I made dinner roll dough in the bread machine. It will be ready in a few minutes for me to shape into rolls. We are having Salsbury Steak, Squash, Stuffing, carrot sticks and dinner rolls. Should be a good meal.

We have a workday at church tomorrow morning and a dedication of our conference room in honor of the former head of our Missions committee. He passed away about 7 years ago and is greatly missed.

The bread machine just beeped that it is ready for me. So I am back to the kitchen!

Love- Sarah

Sarah, sorry to hear about your TMJ..on top of all the other 'stuff' I have, that is one. It can be REALLY painful. I've done cortizone injections into the jaw joint even..not fun. I've had it since early high school, before I got braces. My orthodontist mentioned that I had it at my initial visit when they did teeth molds, but never did anything about it. I had no idea the pain it would cause. Back then it only caused minor 'clicking' while singing in choir. Now, after so many years, it pops LOUDLY while I chew just about anything or even kiss my hubby. I'm glad you caught it this early to where there is still something you can do for it. I'm glad that your ortho is also helping you out...that's a good doc there.
