Good Day , Bad Day?... How Was Your Day? come and share with us..

Tea and coffee and a treat! Hi everyone . I'm just waking but it's cooold outside..28F. Lol Holly..yes a bit of domestic bliss here. Today I'm going out to lunch with a friend..most likely sushi. I bought this Key Lime Sparkling Water and I really love it. I'm going to buy more! I usually just drink plain water. Hey, it's all about the small joys...lol

Bob..I hope the dental appt is easy. I'm the type who dreads all medical appts. Georgia..hope you're wrong about that cold and feel better. Holly, glad your o/h is better and also that your workday goes smooth as buttah. :). i hope everyone has a good day...Linda..how is your New Years part prep going? Don't you work too hard now. :)

:yawning: I'm feelin' lazy!
 
My cold was already better yesterday...maybe Cold-Eeze really does work. It's only walloping doses of magnesium, I think, but if it works I'm all for it. I still have cold symptoms but not anywhere near how I usually feel with a cold.

Hollydolly...working New Year's Eve and off New Year's? I hope you get at least one of the days off!
 

Georgia, I see you use those health teas too. I am so glad they are now available in our local Wal-mart. I keep most kinds on hand. My favorite is Throat Coat, the one with licorice. They have Breath Easy, Gypsy Cold Remedy, Colds PM and several others. I'm probably not remembering some of these names correctly but there's no need for me to go all the way to the kitchen and to get it right. :) The cutest name of any of the teas is "Smooth Move" and yes, it's for just what it sounds like. :)

I wish they had a tea called "Knee pain". The Dr wants me to go on Celebrex for 2 weeks and then if it doesn't help she might give me the shot. I just looked up the possible side effects of Celebrex and I'm not sure I even want to take it. I wonder if others look up the side effects of drugs and then decide not to take them?

I'm glad the dr visit is out of the way now and I can just be a regular person tomorrow.
 
My morning has been all about housework but this afternoon I plan to see the Revenant. Here in my neck of the woods it is partly cloudy and 37 degrees. My phone app keeps sending alerts about snow shower but obviously with more sun than clouds and almost forty degrees that's not likely to happen.
 
I'll be babysitting again today. Yesterday my oldest grandkid and I finally took down the Christmas decorations. Glad to have it all packed up....less clutter!
 
Today I go to the doctor for more meds for my infected tooth. Still haven't got all the funds together to have them all removed and replaced with dentures. When possible, I will have this tooth pulled. Small potatoes, except when you have the level of

dental trauma I do. Not a phobia, as my therapist sternly reminds me. Sadly, childhood experiences make this inevitable. I am
terrified, as much of losing it in front of a strange dentist, as facing my fear. I have no one in my life who lives close enough to

walk me through it. Ooh, it will be PTSD hell. I shall need sedatives to get me through it. I want to run away from home. Eek.
 
Can't believe how time flies and I don't get back to visit this thread...

Georgia...just don't really get much time lately, work has been so hectic and a few medical probs means that more often than not I'm at hopsital appointments on my day off...as was the case last friday...and in an hour I will be at the hospital for yet a different problem, to see my back surgeon about p[ossibly more surgery. Can't really see the point in it tbh..not on the immedaite horizon anyway, because although the double herniated discs spasm like hell most days..I have got it under relative control..and after I have the surgery it actually makes it worse for about 3 or 4 months before it improves..and that means taking time off work. ..so we'll see what he says today and which direction he think will be best.

In the meantime..last friday I was diagnosed with a serious condition which they can only hope to 'control' but they can't cure...I won't go into detail, not looking for sympathy...but they took bloods while I was there as well , and I'm someone who is very used to bloods being taken, ''walk in the park'..never a bruise...but loooook at the state of my arm after draculas sister took my blood? ...this was 5 days ago..and it's still 4 inches in diameter.. :eek:mg1::eek:mg1:

Karen, when I get back from the hospital today...I'd love it if you could have some of that glorious tea and cake for me..to soothe my fevered brow...LOL;)
 
Holly...plenty of hot tea for you and a slice of your favorite cake. Grrr on that terrible blood draw...I've had that happen and know it shouldn't :chocolate: soo..some chocolates for you as well. I'm genuinely sorry you're going through so much...:bighug:..hang in there girl.
 
Shali, I hope your tooth trip gets fixed soon and its not too expensive or traumatic. I have a couple of pricey dental issues that I'm usually avoiding thinking about, but will have to face the music soon too. When I got my bad tooth extracted, I was so full of freezing I didn't feel a thing, and it healed very well.

Holly, that's a nasty bruise -- technician must have been a total hack. Sorry to hear your diagnosis is serious, take care and sending healing energy.

Hope those meds kick in and you get the infection under control. The way I handle the dentist is to remove myself by visualizing a peaceful place I love and relax. Works for me..but only after I'm properly numbed. My favorite part is leaving..but my dentist is an older guy with a gift of gab that isn't annoying..I've known him for years so that helps.

:sunshine:
 
Shalimar,I know the feeling wanting to pull all the teeth out.I have a missing tooth ,top right back,will be looking into an inplant.they told me 3000 dollars for the one.I'm scared of the pprocedure but want it done.

Good day so far,other than the -22 c,which iis mild for us. Ugh
 
Hollydolly, you've got a lot to contend with right now. I hope the doctor had some good advice for you when you saw him. Thank you for sharing all this with us and the photos too. That is terrible what they did to your arm. :(
 
Shalimar, I hope thinks are looking up for you with that tooth. I need to go get some work done but I was banned from 2 dentists so I doubt I give it another try till I can go somewhere where they will put me to sleep and I'm sure that costs a lot more. Did you get the antibiotic OK?
 
Thanks Linda. Yes I got some more antibiotics, and a few tranquilisers. Doctor thinks I am a wimp, oh well. I am sorry you have been banned from two dentists. Not very compassionate of them. When my face feels better, I shall check out the new

dentist. I may not need sedation for one tooth if I have tranks. Very important to check out her attitude, and that of the receptionists. I have been dissed big time in the past. Those who have dental trauma don't deal well with contempt.
 
Shalimar, I've had to have quite a bit of work done on my teeth in the last couple of years, and I found that if you tell the dentist up front that you just can't take the mouth pain, they will give you at least a good local so you feel no pain, or if it is really bad for you a good dentist will put you to sleep at least partially. But remember to tell him you brought someone to drive you home after the procedure.

I'm 64, and I still have all my teeth, which I find humorous considering all the physical problems I have. But hey, I'll take it. :wave:

Shalimar -- I can completely sympathize. My old dentist (the father of the one I see now) -- his receptionist used to have to come in and hold my hand and chatter at me while he was working so I didn't freak out. I'm better now. I've been going to first father and now the son for so long I've lost most of my terror. But I still have a deal that if I make a certain hand signal it means I need to take a little break to get myself together.

My dental PTSD came from an early childhood experience and then a particularly bad experience with a German dentist (when we were stationed there) who I swear was Mengele's right hand man.
