Quote From: jbbatwot

Good Morning Dear Friends

 

It is Wednesday, Aug. 3 here in Dallas and I am not sleeping @ 2:50AM Central Standard Time.  Today is the day for my big, big dental procedure and I am scared to death!  I have to be at the dentists office by 7AM and the procedures will be finished around 4 or 5 pm.  So many times in my past I have had really bad experiences with going to the dentist that I have just avoided going at all for the last - ummmm maybe 8 or 10 years!   So there are lots of things wrong.  I chose this new dentist because he does sedated dentristy.  Supposedly I will be sound asleep the whole time.  Tho I rather doubt it!

 

I doubt it because he prescribed a sleeping pill for me tonight and it is absolutely NOT working!  I didn't sleep much last night either......  just have the jitters about getting this work done.  I have seven cracked teeth most of them with cracked fillings also.  I have one hollow tooth with an air gap - whatever the heck that is?? Almost all of my teeth have something wrong with them.  The front top teeth are very crooked and overlap.  They have cavities between the overlapping  parts.  These top front four will be capped and then lastly all my teeth will be whitened.

 

One thing I don't have, amazingly, is gum disease.  I want to get all this over with in one big visit and have one big miserable time of pain and that will be that!''

 

PLEASE pray for me throughout this day.  Pray that the dentist will be able to get me sedated enough that it will seem like nothing is going on and I will not feel anything or know anything all day long!  Pray that I won't be the world's worst patient!  Send happy thoughts my way all day.  I hope that I am well on my way to sanity and able to post by Friday to let you all know how well I did  "hope hope hope hope"......

 

Meanwhile at least my eating will be slowed down quite a bit!  Who knows?  Maybe I'll lose a pound or two the hard way!

 

Yesterday at the diabetes doctor's office my STATS were:  233# (same as this time last year) and my blood sugar was 105.

 

Love to all my WOW friends . . . Julie

I have never had sedated denistry..some of my kids have, they love it.....I had bad experiences with dentists also and always hated it....I have dentures now, mostly because I could not afford the repairs..and I hated dentists....We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this and just remember "This too shall pass"..MaryB

ROSEMARY -- So sorry I missed your birthday.  I hope you are still celebrating.    GLADYS -- I hope the news on the airplane has comforted you.  Getting everybody out alive was wonderful We must be in the same place with our love of quiet time!   VICKI -- Good point about the fact that all of us are going to reach 70 sooner or later.   LAINEYBEA -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  I hope you allow yourself to have some nice celebrations.    JULIE -- Like Laineybea I too have dentures and I chose them for the same reason as she did.  Multiple problems plus terrible fear of dentistry drilling.  I did it the summer I turned 26 and so far haven't had the problems they feared with receding gums.  Good luck; I will be thinking about you throughout the day.   OH YUCK! I fell off my food plan yesterday afternoon.  If I were a drinker I would definitely be a binger.  No drinks for a week and then a case of beer (does it come in cases?) on Saturday.  I got hungry when at the airport and it went down hill all evening.  I HAVE TO MASTER THIS!  These binges can destroy a week's work. I went out to lunch with a friend and had a salad -- they said it was just 240 calories.  Don't know about my lemonade.  Should have asked if could be made with Splenda.    I'm doing no IE today as I'm letting my knee rest a bit from two days of walking.  It is 2:30 here and if I can make it through the next five hours I should have it made.  Ks.

I think you have me mixed up with someone else. I still have my own teeth-not the full 32, but they pulled 8 when I had braces, just to make room for the others.  My parents both had dentures-gum disease for Dad and Mom just had terrible soft teeth, which all four of us kids inherited. I have spent too many hours in the dentist' chair.

   I am going out with my cousin and her DH to dinner tonight to celebrate the birthday. Will have another celebration of our anniversary this weekend when my DH comes home(tomorrow!)

  Thanks for all the good wishes----Laineybea

2 days late

Weigh in was 2 days late this week, have been gone to my daughters.  Weight was the same, just have a feeling that this last pound is going to be hard to get off, but I will do it!!!!

 

So hot in Kansas, been 105 or hotter for sometime now.  Grass is really suffering, am managing to keep my trees and plants alive, but just can not afford to keep my grass nice and green.

 

Know I have missed some birthdays, so happy belated birthday wishes to those that I missed and I think Fluffy has one on Saturday.  Happy birthday my friend!!

 

Things are going very well with my friend.  Enjoy spending time together.  One day at a time is all I can say at this point in time, who knows what the future holds.

 

I do read the message board so am keeping up with what is going on, just don't post very often.

 

Everyone have a great day and take care of you.  LOL  Marlene

Hi Everyone.

Good Evening ladies.Heres hoping your day was a good one.I am doing so well I'm proud of me again.I have been eating the amounts of food I'm supposed to and run on the treadmill today early this morning and then walked outside later.I've been with Dr.P all day long hes in my pocket again wherever I go...you know on my cd's in my walkman.Hesd helped me do the laundry and clean the bathroom and yes he goes to the bathroom with me to,LOL.I started from cd one as I got in on the book review a bit late this time so I'm getting the good word right from the horses moth.

Laineybea-Happy Birthday and have a wonderful special day.

Julie-I hope your not in too much discomfort from all that dentistry today.Wow that sounds like quite a day.Thank heavens I'm not scared of the dentist.I don't even have the freezing when I get a filling unless its really deep.Anyhow you got it over with by now.

Vicki-My friend you can ring that doorbell in the chatroom as much as you like .It is a lot of fun.Nice chatting isn't it.

EILENE-You can do it.I'm doing it again.I'm doing it and I feel so good about it,its like a big load off me.I don't want to ever gain all that weight again.You'll get back in the groove give it a chance,get the BOOK out and inhale what it says.I should be able to memorize it by now but every time I listen or read I get something new I missed last time.So you just keep at it and you'll get going again.

Marlene-Nice to see your post and have you here with us.Its so great a place to come where everyone has the same problems and we can share with each other and keep our weight off.

Joyce-I see you got my hair right now,LOl.Thanks for the transformation.

Sherry-How are you doing my friend.Hope you are feeling better and will be able to get back to your swimming.I love that to.

Sandra-I went for a couple treatments to my chiropractor last month and you are sore for a day or so but I feel so much better now.My DIL gets an hour massage and she says it is just wonderful.Its at the same place as I go to the chiopractor and I may try it soon.

Fluffy-Where are you my little lamby?I did read a post from ewe a couple days ago,but you haven't put your fluffy self up for us to seeMiss ya.I know you are busy getting unpacked and that takes time.But good for you out on that bike.Keep peddling.

rain

will girls it rained here this afternoon, had to turn off the computer, lighting everywhere, it cooled thing off a little , have had a really good compliant day I got a new cd on exercise, its palates for dummies, I can do some of it , not all yet , my husband heard me moaning and came to see what I was doing , he said it sounded like I was dieing, he said it looked like I was trying to kill my self, Ha,ha, I was on the floor at the time, anyway it felt good to be able to do some of it, I walked some, I know when I don't exercise I gain weight, I have not been doing my ie like I should, I was lessoning to my CD and Dr Phil said that the reason some people succeed is that they implement all 7 keys, I haven been doing that , just some of them, now I realize I have to do all 7 and really work on the ones I have trouble with, I am going to have to go as the thunderstorms are coming back, not going to complain as we need the rain, love and hugs to all, Liz
