Update on my dental and knee challenges

As I sit here numb, thankful that the numbing is guarding me from the pain of this sweet reality.

I have to tell you very good news.

We think we are in the clear.

The two front roots have calcified to the extent that he believes that there is no tissue remaining from that point to the bone. If there were it would mean a reverse root canal via an incision. Another specialist and big $$$$. He was able to hit bone in the infected canal. YES I felt it!

He quickly gave me another injection.

The procedure was to be an hour. Well I got there at 10:10 as per appointment. There was a woman in the other room who was scared to shivers. So I sat there and prayed for them both. She was not having the work done at that time just the assessment.

Well at one point he was able to get to me. He gave me the two very large painful injections and a sweet lady came and held my hand in the middle of the first one. It was around 10:45. I told him he was doing a good job helping her. That she was just afraid. He thanked me for my patience.

I told him "I am not the only person on this planet"

Thus he went back to her slacked jawed and stunned. He thanked me. I told him I was praying for her. He said he wished more people could be understanding.  He said it is not like a new transmission (however it cost about the same that's my interjection of thought hahah), no perfect fixes because of the human and the materials and I chimed in...

"and the hardest one...the emote."
He looked me in the eye and smiled.

He was off again while I "simmered" the shots took effect.

For a long while I sat there listening to him patiently go over and over and over the same information with the woman. He was so patient. I began to get a little concerned about my anesthesia. Finally 20 minutes or so later he was released her. She left to set another appointment for the fix.

He began work on me with all diligence and kindness. He was able to get the root that was infected but not the other two.

I left there at NOON.

It took two hours of my life, time and prayer. It is not my life...for I am his. It is not my time...he redeems every second. It is not my prayer...it is HIS heart beating inside me. It is all about God being set up front and center to remind them all of His presence in their lives. I am only clay, teeth and root canals. :)

So Monday
I had the knee shots procedure again and YES the right on is still a bug a boo.

The left leg is not too unhappy with the injection. The right leg MY right leg...that one attached to me is tempting me to look at it as "The Leg". ! Well today I was able to walk back from the buss stop very slowly, and after a good long rest I drove to the dentist.

Afterward I stopped at a Jomba Juice and got a shot of wheat grass. It was so kind the girl gave me a mango passion fruit chaser so I did not have to taste it. I got a juice smoothie with protein and immune defense added into it. Took another antibiotic and here I am.

After the drive home I am resting. If I rest after each little jaunt it is getting much more comfortable for my right leg.

The children have been home for an hour or so. They are watching an episode of a show they like.

Then it is homework.

So Dove and the sleep...NO LIGHTS NO SOUNDS AND ME beside her slept from 9:30 to around 7 a.m. (I left her at 5 a.m.) I went in to shower and the rest is history or in the other post :)

Thank you all for your kindness.

We will know for sure if the tooth is saved within two months time. Perfect timing I trust it will be.

For by then we will be into the new year. That filling will last a while but he said he thinks I should eventually replace that crown also for the margins are a little shady. God will provide for It.

Boy is my face swollen. Oh kids I can't open my jaw ouch!

Now I have freedom till Monday from any more medical stuff.
Then the last of the knee series shots.
Soon I will be able to be as young as I feel.

However...yes I know...

Dash is not sounding too good this afternoon.
He has a bit of a cough. He has asthma so I will watch him.

Can ya spare some more prayer?
