So long sweet summer...
Sorry for the Dashboard reference, but it seems so appripo today. I had a filling on the right side of my mouth this morning, and I feel like I had a stroke. I have a hair appointment in a little over an hour from now and I have NO idea how I'm going to pull this one off...I think I'm still drooling. I would know, except for the fact that I'm still NUMB!
The update on the tonsils:
So I went to the doctors for the THIRD time on Saturday, and this is what they told me.
"Removing tonsils isn't as 'slam-dunk' as it used to be. There are real risks involved in removing someone's tonsils. We generally like to wait until you have severe problems with it 5 to 6 times within a year before we remove them."
And I've had problems with them 4 times already in the last 10 - 11 weeks, but since I've only been to the doctor 3 times...I only have 2-3 more visits in total PAIN to look forward to.
I don't know, it just irks me a little bit to know that they keep blowing it off. Just keep putting me on different antibiotics when they KNOW they'll be taking my tonsils out in the end. It's just frustrating, that's all.
Thus far, the antibiotics I'm on now don't feel to be working, but whatever, they're the size of a dime. (I feel like I'm taking horse pills!)
Anyway, that's the update on the tonsil drama for now. I'll keep you updated on the repetitive drama until something changes. Until then, that's that.
Update on Shelley:
Shelley started chemo on Tuesday, can't remember if I've already informed the LJ public of this or not, so I said it now. Alex says she'll be on it for a year, and I have the youth group praying for her. I really think Alex is dying to get down there right now. He won't actually verbalize it, but I can tell he's torn between trying to finish this one section of his life (finish college) and get somewhat on his feet...and being there physically for his sister, mom and family in Florida.
*sigh*
Classes start up again tomorrow, so there's some excitment. Alex goes back today. What fun lies in store for us now? I feel confident enough in our relationship now that I can go for however long and I KNOW we'll be okay. I don't know how or when things changed, but I like it. Nice and secure.
Nevertheless. I went to the last PawSox game of the season with Meagan and Blanchette. Of course they lost 6-0, but whatever, we had a blast. Pics from it are up on Webshots if you want to look at them. I saw two of my campers there. One was in our row, and one was up a few from me. I love those kids. I really do. I SO want kids. Just let me finish this year and I think I'll be ready. Get my life in order, set things up. I can't wait to be a mom. Well, actually I can. Speaking of which, I'm actually looking forward to my next "Ladies Days" as Denise calls them. (lol) Long story.
Anyway, I need to eat something bc of my meds, but I shouldn't due to the novacaine at the dentist's this morning. Food wins out.
Ciao.
