Hi Morgs

I'm ok, life has just continued in the same interesting vein that it seems to be stuck in recently. I had a really difficult molar extraction a week ago on Tuesday and was in a lot of pain, so I was taking heavy doses of Vicodin for days on end and was pretty out of it. Since Vicodin reduces my cognitive abilities to that of a small rubber eraser, I refrained from too much posting. And being disabled (once again!) kicked up some emotional issues with a lot of shame and I went to ground once again. The tooth is feeling a lot better now (I'm down to just using Advil) and I finally did what I should have done in the first place and contacted my T so I'm getting back on my feet. So I'm still here, just on the quiet side. Thanks for asking.

OUch AG!!! I hate the dentist! So sorry you have been going through that. Glad to hear you are feeling a little better.

(((AG))) Sorry things have been so rough. I will send God a memo that you are on vacation from hard stuff for a while...not that I really have much influence, but heck, I'll try!

Glad things are getting better and you're turning to your T when you need support.

(((((AG)))))

Glad to hear you are down to advil but sorry to hear that the whole ordeal brought up so many issues for you. I have to say that I think it's quite brave of you to even attempt these appointments given the emotional stuff it kicks up for you. I also think it's a great thing that you contacted your T for support.

HUGS,

Hope you are feeling better soon,

Liese

Oh AG, I'm so impressed you faced the dentist yet again! The dentist is my worst nightmare...

Glad you're on the mend, and hope the rest of life starts settling down a little bit too!

(((AG)))

Sheesh (((AG))) what a year you're having??? Good to know you took care of yourself so well and you're on the mend again.

Glad you didn't mind my where are you? It's a bit of a worry when the moderator goes missing!!!

Keep taking care

Thanks Smiley, I hate the dentist too and right now I have four of them!! UGH is right. But I have to tell you that all of my dentists (dentist, oral surgeon, endontonist and periodontist) are all wonderful, gentle men. My fear is all about the past. One of the reasons I am doing so much work right now is that I put off a lot of work the last few years both for financial reasons and overload (we had a long term crisis in the family we were dealing with) and I just can't afford to do that with my teeth. So I'm biting the bullet and getting everything done in the hope I can get out in front of this and stop having these major procedures. But it's hard. I appreciate the understanding as most people just kind of look at you like "what's the big deal" including some family members.

Thanks Yaku, from your memo to God's ears. My favorite quote of Mother Theresa's is "Lord I know you said you would not test me beyond what I can bear, but sometimes I wish you didn't trust me so much." I try to remember that just because I'm not in control, doesn't mean He isn't.


R2G, thanks, don't be too impressed, I'm a quivering jellyfish, trust me. The last time I went in for a med check, I talked my nurse practioner into a Xanax prescription. I have been known to take them before procedures. Better living through medication, you know.

That kind of sums up how I'm feeling Morgs.

Not at all, Morgs, it's actually really nice to know I was missed. But no worries, even when I'm not posting, I'm checking in and keeping an eye on things. And always, always feel free to PM me if you have any concerns.

AG,

Ouchie!! I'm glad to hear that you are on the mend and even while going through such hard times that you continued to take care of yourself and you reached out to your T. You rock!

Aw AG, poor you, no wonder you needed a bit of support tooo. I hate the dentist (well, not the dentist himself as mine is very gentle and very gorgeous, both of which help ) .....but I hate going and the vulnerability of it all. Well done you for getting through, I am glad your T is there to help when you need him.

Big hug,
