I have not really worked on anything since Sunday. I did manage to get 'enough' machine quilting in on the RSC 2018 quilt that I think I am calling that one done and waiting for trimming and binding.
Since then.... zilch. Nadda. Nothing. Cause.... after picking up the kids from Grandma's the toothache that had been bothering me got really bad and I went to bed..... around 8PM!
Monday... lots of phone calls, no they can't get me in until Thursday... well maybe Wednesday. A long day of pain..... and swelling.... Tuesday morning I called and said swelling and this is an emergency. I got in within the hour! X-ray's.. Yup - need a root canal. Antibiotic and a referral. 2 hours later with lots of phone calls... figured out how our insurance works and found the ONE endodontist in the whole of Ocala who takes the insurance.... with a referral. Had to call the dentist to explain what form to put the referral on so insurance will pay. I have to say - the endodontist office was awesome! They called while I was at horses yesterday with Em and Greg handled scheduling. The receptionist said he did a great job! 1.5 hours to numb and clear out the area and I get to go back in 2 weeks for the actual root canal once the swelling goes down. I get to watch carefully and if it swells more or difficulty breathing I get to go to the ER ASAP! So, that has been my fun week.
The receptionist when she checked me out mentioned to go have a shake or iced coffee. Still numb but you know what.... I stopped at twistee treat on the way home and got a chocolate milkshake. Took advil and tylenol and I'm waiting for the numbing to go out...and the pain to start. I set a timer on my phone for the next dose of anitobiotic.
Think I'll turn on the Tampa hockey game and pull Emily's purple crochet blanket out.
That's the update from my household. Let's hope tomorrow is a good day. I will be working tomorrow... since I logged off at noon Monday and did not get more than 2 hours in yesterday and 1.5 hours in today. Got to make up that time.... the disadvantage of being hourly. At least I have 4 work projects I am juggling so plenty to do.
