Melany arrived fairly this morning, even though my appointment wasn't till after lunch. She had to make a delivery to Nathan…some chickens! She kept me from thinking too much about my afternoon ordeal by being here…we talked Alaska cruise, filled a bird feeder, and I got her to help me fill a bead sorting case for the beads that I have collected over the years for cross stitch projects. I was given this case for Christmas and I had started sorting them, but got interrupted…I think, by my first cruise of the year…then I just hadn’t gotten back to the task. This is one of the items that had been on the sewing table, which I am attempting to clear off! I will get the rest done and get it stored away.
The oral surgeon visit went as well as an oral surgeon appointment can go. I was better once I got there and talked to the doctor and he assured me I would soon be asleep! That's my goal…know as little as possible about the procedure! He removed the tooth…and at the moment the most irritating thing about the procedure is that he had to take a stitch and I have that piece of suture hanging down in my mouth! The pain is minimal…the nurse told me that I had plenty of time to get home and take Tylenol before the numbness wore off. I never felt numb after I woke up so that part didn’t pan out. But once I could stop biting down on gauze, I was fine and am not feeling any pain at the moment. I have had a little creamed asparagus soup and a little of my homemade vanilla pudding. Both tasted quite good since I had't eaten since an early breakfast. But at this point I am feeling fine. And, I was only woozy for about an hour after I woke up. Melany did say that I kept repeating myself on the way home. Oh, well…at least I wasn't saying anything outrageous. I kept telling her that my dentist did play soccer in Tullahoma with Chad C. So I wasn't too goofy! I was a little unsteady going in the house. We headed straight to my recliner and I sat there for a while till we could both tell that I was back to myself. I do feel tired…so plan to just stay in my chair and watch Matlock and Elsbeth in a little while. We'll see if I stitch! I would hate to stitch and then tomorrow find that I need to take all bunch of the stitches out! But I think that I will be fine stitching…then maybe for once I will go to bed at a decent time.
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Oh, and, Melany has arrived back at her home all safe and sound! I surely do appreciate all her help today!
