Dental Health
I haven't posted much in a while except for my Twitter posts. I figured I'd update you on another aspect of my health. Wednesday I went to the dentist to have some fillings done. Of course we had to update the dentist on my blood pressure. We told him that it was really high that day, but it was after a 45 minute walk. But he got all concerned. Apparently there's adrenaline in the novacaine. Adrenaline (obviously) speeds up your heart and makes your blood pressure go up. So Dr. Aviza checked my blood pressure to see what it was at. It was 150 over something. He said that having it 140/90 is high enough to be bad so he decided to send me home.
I have to go back in May to get the fillings done. He said it was okay because they weren't bad ones and they could wait. Also, last year I had rootcanal done on my very front tooth; the nerve was completely dead. Lately I've been noticing a bump on my gums right above that tooth and it keeps getting bigger. So Dr. Aviza looked at it and declared that I have a left over infection that is in the bone of my jaw.
Apparently when they do the rootcanal they only clean out the rootcanal and it doesn't reach to the bone. So now my bone is growing around it and that's why it's hard there. He said as the infection leaves the bone will change with it. Also I don't have to have the rootcanal redone b/c everything looked good there. It's just in my jaw bone. So I have to take antibiotics. The cool thing about them is that they're flamingo pink. They're very cool looking. I'd take a picture and post it, but I don't want people to get the wrong impression. Lol
So anyway, that's my life right now. One more thing: my BP is really good when I take it as soon as I wake up. But I don't think that counts :/
Also I'm reading Breaking Dawn and holy crap! That's all I can really say about that. Plus I found a lot of my family on facebook. My brothers, niece, nephew and aunt. Altho I'm not friends with one of my brothers. But that's a long story.
Okay I think I'm really done now. Besides, the iPod is just about dead.
Love all. Hope it's as nice where you are as it is here =)
