Today Was J's Turn

This week has been very busy trying to get everything done and done right before the end of the year.

Yesterday M & I went to the Endodontist. Although it was just a consult they had really no idea about ATN. They call me back and shove this huge x-ray film in. I couldn't even tell her how my mouth doesn't like to open that far. She takes a couple of x-ray and then "blah, blah, blah the doctor will be right in." A shorter man comes in and looks at my front tooth asking if I feel this or that. No, No, YES!!! He agrees that I need to have my root canal re-done. Expected, and then starts asking if I'm sure I have ATN, who diagnosed me, what are my triggers. This man is unaware I'm thinking in my head. I tell him that I am nervous about getting a shot of Novocaine. He asked if that was a trigger, I told him I don't know, I haven't had to have any shots since. I just know that I need to get this done and then I don't have to come back and see this VEGAS Doctor again. I realized last night that the assistant must of cut the inside of my lip, GREAT, Just great!

J had off today and so we went to the eye doctor for him. I don't think he has had an eye exam in...longer than I've known him. We'll I thought it was funny (hee!hee!) that he needs a mild prescription for eye strain. The glasses he picked out make me smile.

Today was also day 5, and that meant that I needed to go down again on my Gabapentin. I started  at 1200mg and then went to 900mg, now I'm at 600mg, all in a week. Among the other things I feel tired and nauseous, my favorite feeling. I hope that I it goes away.

J's parents get in tonight so I hope that it's a wonderful Christmas. :)
