POOR LITTLE LUCKY AND HER BAD TEETH

Today was teeth cleaning day for Lucky.  Poor baby.  She has such bad teeth.  Gingivitis, bad gums, bad teeth.  Yikes.

They had to remove four teeth and scrape plaque off the rest.  Since Lucky is so growly, I can't brush her teeth.  Now I have some food that is supposed to help keep her teeth clean.  I have also been told about some stuff you can put in her water. 

I had to make a big decision about one tooth.  The tooth still has a live nerve so they could leave it and see what happened to it or they could pull it today.  They weren't thrilled about pulling a tooth with a live nerve.  They said it would be very painful.  The flip side is that it could last years or it could go bad sooner.  I decided to leave the tooth and see what happened.  No unnecessary pain.  I am glad I made that decision now that I see how much pain she is in.

Lucky is so unhappy.  She is having a hard time getting over the anesthesia. She was shaking like crazy and I actually called the vet to make sure she is okay.  I tried to give her the pain meds but she doesn't like it.  I think it stings her mouth or something.  She was actually foaming at the mouth when I gave it to her.  Then I put it in her food and she turned up her nose to the food.  Turned her nose up to chicken and rice?!  What is this world coming to?

I hope she feels better tomorrow.  I will call the vet in the morning and find out what to do about the pain meds.

Until tomorrow...

BREAST MRI TODAY

This morning I had my yearly breast MRI.   The only appointment they had available for a couple of weeks was 7:45 am this morning. That was tough and required a nap this afternoon!

(A few years ago they found something and they did a biopsy and it was nothing. They put in markers to keep an eye on the spots since breast cancer runs in my family.  Now I get mammograms and MRIs on the frequent flier program.)

I got up and took a shower. With my new shorter hair (I got my hair cut finally yesterday) my morning routine went quickly. I put on my tiara and went to have my MRI.  The Power of the Tiara has been good to me so far.

I spent one hour in the big loud MRI machine. I tried to fall sleep and I think I dozed off for a bit but then the tech had to shoot me up with dye. This tech had no sense of humor. come on, i show up wearing a tiara and you don't say anything?  Okay once he called t a crown.  Definitely a straight man tech!

Now, I wait until the results later this week. These days are always a little stressful. So, keep me in your thoughts.

Until tomorrow...

PARTY OR NOT

Tonight we went to a neighbors party. I was happy to go but not over the moon. To be honest I have a lot to do and I have to be somewhere at 7:45 am tomorrow. So the thought of being out late was not enticing. I got dressed and we went. I spoke to some folks, including an old boss, who I had not seen in a while as well as new folks. Then it happened. My feet began to ache. Really bad. Like I could not stand up anymore. 

At that time the performances began and everyone stood up to watch. There was no way I could stand up. Brenda kept asking if I was okay. My sucky feet!  I stayed for cake and then bugged out. Brenda is still there dancing.

Until tomorrow...

THERAPY HURTS

This weeks physical therapy hurt. They tried not to make it hurt.  It would probably help if I did the exercises but I don't find time for them. I am trying to get my own personal tens machine to use during the week. I am yawning and it hurts. Should go to sleep.

Until tomorrow...

IN PERSON OR OVER THE PHONE

Have you ever spoken to someone on the phone and they seem one way and then when you meet them in person they are another way?  I had that experience today.

I spoke to this woman on the phone and she sounded so warm and motherly. Really focused.  Today I met her and I would have thought it was another person.   She was so unfocused and negative. So glass half empty.  It was so strange. Maybe she was having a bad day? I don't know but it really threw me. Who knows what makes people change like that.

Until tomorrow...

GENIUS!

Did you ever think someone is just a genius?  Just so smart because they thought of something that you didn't?  It doesn't have to be anything big but just something to solve a problem or an issue.  Something you didn't think of.

Last night I was talking to my brother about something and I brought up how my computer keeps revving it's engine.  It is quite annoying and I think it is going to blow up or die.  It sounds like a car at a stop light when the engine runs.  He asked me when was the last time I cleaned out my CPU.  Uh, like never or at least a LONG time ago.  He told me to go buy some canned air and blow that thing out.

Today I did and it is like a miracle.  The computer is moving faster, the wirrring noise seems to be gone and all seems right in the world.  There was less dust than I expected considering my computer is in the same room as the dog cages (we like to call them "houses") but I guess just a little bit of dander will mess up computer mother boards. (or is it motherboards?) 

We are now dust free and moving along at a snappy pace.  I will remember to do this periodically.  Thanks Chris!

Until tomorrow...

IT'S FIXED!

I am SO happy.  My tooth is fixed.  The dentist was able to glue my partial crown back on.  Turns out the glue came undone.  Underneath there was just some glue on my tooth.  He scraped it off and cleaned it off and stuck the crown back on!  I asked and he said there was no decay underneath.  I guess my teeth grinding is causing my crowns to fall out. 

Anyway, I am happy and my mouth is happy.  I can eat again.

Until tomorrow...
