EWW.. I hate the dentist.. but such is life.
So here is an update on me.
Classes end May 2nd. Graduation on May 7th.
On March 13th I went to the ER with chest pains. Good to find out it is not my heart but my chest wall. So I go for a follow up on the 17th. It is costochondritis. Yeah.. thats what I said. It is the inflammation of the cartilage btwn my ribs and breast bone. Very painful for hiccups, sneezing, hard laughing or strenuous activity. They put me on Bextra (one of the meds like Vioxx that they pulled of the shelf) to reduce the inflammation. Since I am only taking it for two weeks, I don't feel bad about it. And it is starting to feel better.
of course they weigh you at the doctor's office too.. let's just say I was embarrassed. We need to work on that.
So yesterday (wednesday) I went to have my total cholesterol checked b/c it was high in October. I have had 6 months to really work on it and start eating right and exercising. Did I start doing that? Not as much as I should and more in the past few weeks that the past 6 months. Well the total jumped from 235 to 283. Yeah VERY HIGH! So I have to go BACK to the doctor tomorrow for a complete lipid panel. They will tell me if the "good" or "bad" cholesterol is high and test my triglycerides and all that.
And today I had my dentist appointment. They did a lot of work on one tooth that needs major attention. So the left half of my mouth is numb.. its getting better.. but you should try moving your lips when half of it is asleep!!! The other tooth (yes there were two bad ones, but that happens when freaking insurance companies wont cover you because you are over 22 but not out of college!!!) will be taken care of on April 7th.
So anyway... I hope everyone has a Happy Happy Easter! Say Hi to the bunny for me!!!
