I got my tooth pulled earlier today. It went fine… my tooth did fall apart shortly after the Dr started pulling on it but he managed to get it out of there without too much trouble. I asked about getting a tooth implant rather than having a bridge or leaving it empty. I just have to talk to my dentist and come back to the surgery center in 6-8 weeks to discuss the cost and all that. He said this space was a good candidate for an implant. So as long as it affordable I think I’ll do it. Haha… I’ll have a falsie!

After I left the oral surgeon I went to the DMV to get my license renewed… wouldn’t you know it, the birth certificate I have isn’t good enough for them. So I have to send off to Wyoming for a government issued one! Ugh! Why do they have to be so difficult? I did get a 60 day extension to renew so at least I’m legal to drive.

Next stop was wal-mart to get my pain meds and antibiotic. Of course I had to wait on the pharmacist to put some pills in some bottles… so Jeff and I went looking for ways to spend my birthday money. I got a wireless mouse and carrying case for my laptop… jewel quest to play on my laptop… an old Stephen King movie… new ear buds for my MP3 player… and some sharpie pens, dry erase markers and a new dry erase board. (are those odd things to buy yourself as gifts?) Finally got my meds and came home.

Again I find myself wishing there was steak flavored pudding or cheeseburger yogurt! I can’t have anything solid for a day or two… and only mushy things for the next 3-4 days. I already miss meat. But I did find some sugar free pudding that has active cultures in it just like yogurt! 

I had a blood draw on Saturday and just got the call from the dr about it. My thyroid is good… but my sugars and tryglicerides are “out of wack” as the nurse put it. So they are going to get my set up with the internal meds dr to try and get things straightened out. They were supposed to have gotten me in to see him several months ago and never did. I even called to ask about it and was told that they forgot but I guess that wasn’t enough to get them thinking it needed to be done. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing him again. I hope he can help me figure things out. I’m sure part of the problem has been my tooth trouble and the infections… anywho, now maybe we can get me back on track. Maybe he can even help me with the weight loss… it’s all connected afterall.

Hope you all had a good Halloween!
