Ouch

Went to the dentist AGAIN this morning. I had a crown put in about 2 years ago. It was my first crown and I thought it went well. It never really felt right and everytime I was at the dentist for myself or the kids I had it adjusted a little. By adjusted, they either drilled/sanded down a spot to make the "bite" a better fit. Well, I finally got it to where I could chew on that side, about 18 mths after and they decided it wasn't on properly and it should be redone, for free of course. It wasn't gonna cost me anything and I did have problems flossing around that tooth, so sure.

Well here I am today in pain again. Its not the kind of pain that makes you cry, but if I have to take 3 advil every 4 hours, it hurts. I should point out that I have over the years taken a lot of advil and 3 is my standard dose. I am assuming my body has been desensitized to it. Kinda like me and coffee. The first cup doesn't do much, its the second cup that puts life into my brain. Three and I consider myself turned on and warmed up. For extra zing, four will do it.

Back to the teeth. This crown, even with the hurt, definitely feels better already. I can bite and even tried some soft chewing and it was perfectly fine. Wow, maybe it won't take 18 mths to use and I can start on my next crown. Yes, dammit, I still require 2 more.

I have had so much freezing in my mouth in my lifetime, I really do have a metal mouth, that it's old news to me and doesn't even freak me out like it did when I was 15 yrs old. Although, I do have to point out, dental work has come a long way in the past 10 years.

Back to coffee now. I love it. There is no pleasure like a good cup of coffee to me. I could give up chocolate without much of a second thought, I could give up chips although that would be somewhat of a struggle at certain times of the month, but coffee... that would most likely kill me.
I did manage to drink no more than 3 to 4 cups total of decaf during a 2 week stretch (talk about a withdrawal headache, up to 4 advil and then to codeine so I could sleep) not too long ago, and I have been mostly successful at keeping myself to 2 cups a day in the month or so since, but I could NEVER, EVER give it up completely. TIM HORTONS, now there is a real cup of coffee.

Speaking of things I love, I am going to vist Theya on Saturday! And Chair and J too I suppose. I am so excited to meet her. Yes, Blaine we will be there! Kaitlin, Kelly and I for sure, but maybe many more. I want to smell her and cuddle her and feel her and hold her and make her smile and put her in my coat and bring her home.

UMMMmmmm......
