Pretty Pictures For An Unpleasant Experience
The rain stopped for a while this morning. Tom was able to get outside and work. I got my exercises done before going to the dentist. I needed help. My extractions from last week were still painful and I was certain I had dry socket, despite my intense efforts to prevent that. I was pretty sure I had infection in my "craters".
The good news is that they are not infected. That is a relief. But they are now packed with the most nasty tasting gel, which I will spend another week trying to keep in place while I very carefully swish twice a day with my new prescription of antibiotic mouthwash. The fun continues. It's lunch time, but I'm not sure how food is going to taste on top of that awful gel taste.
And the fun is not over. I have an appointment for Valentine's Day for a root canal. After that there will be another appointment for a crown. I will have run out of insurance for this year already by then, so I will get to pay over a $1000 for the pleasure.
I think it's time for more pretty pictures.
This white hellebore is a prolific bloomer, but needs help holding its heads up.
Another hellebore just coming into bloom
More cyclamen are opening their sweet little flowers.
Snowdrops droop in the rain.
Persistent primroses and tete-a-tete daffodils sending up buds.
I'm hungry. I guess I'll go try to eat lunch. I hear Tom talking to the furnace service man, so I guess he has arrived. More money.
I'll get back to more movie reviews soon.
Wow, that does sound like a very unpleasant day but the flowers are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteDid they pack them with cloves...that usually works...sounds like a dry socket or two to me. Yes Dental work is very expensive. Hope the gel/packing helps with the pain. Your flowers are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your dental woes. Dry Socket sounds so painful. Your Hellebores are delightful. Mine are barely showing much growth but they'll be blooming one of these days. Mine also hang their heads down.
ReplyDeleteSo srry about your dental issues. That is wearing and for someone like me, I have to make sure I eat well and get moving instead of curl up in bed with a pillow over my head. My ear IS better, but seems to be lingering too much for me. My hellebores are also blooming and I brought some inside for cheering us up!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear what you're going through. It's never fun to go to the dentist, but to be in such pain for so long, plus having to pay so much for the work, is just painful all around. Your pictures are so pretty, though. I am amazed at how quickly the daffodils are sprouting out leaves.
ReplyDeleteDental work that goes wrong cn be most uncomfortable. i wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteYikes, the dental issues sound painful, not only physical but financially as well. The flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about dental bills. It does help to have insurance. I paid only $50 for an extraction, and will pay $3,600 for a dental implant and crown. Relatively cheap because of insurance.
ReplyDeleteYikes, you are really going through it with the dental woes. And to think after you get past this you have a root canal waiting. Aren't you lucky:((. Be glad you have some insurance, Dentists are sooooo expensive these days. Be well soon lady.
ReplyDeleteSending you vibes of speedy and complete recovery!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are having such an awful spell. Thank goodness you have these beautiful flowers to help keep your spirits high. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteteeth are not fun...to have worked out but you have such beautiful spring flowers to keep you entertained with their beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe hellebores are so pretty. I’m so sorry for the aggravation of your tooth crater. I think my root canal went pretty easily quite a while ago. I’m wishing the same for you.
