I went to the Lab and the Dentist today. I got some blood taken at the lab and was really nervous I was going to be late because There were 21 people ahead of me. So I waited. Finally my number was called & I went up there and thought I only had to give a urine sample. Then he told me that I have to give blood. So, I waited some more. The phlebotomist started on my left arm and missed the vein...Then she got my right arm and finally found a vein. I got out of the hospital at 10:50 and my Dentist appointment was at 11. Once I got off post I sped and got there five minutes before my appointment. I waited there for a while and was finally called back. I was due to get fillings today. Eek! I was really nervous. Like... palm sweating, uncontrollable leg shaking, "if this hurts I'll punch the dentist" nervous. I dealt with some lady first who put some gel on my gums to take the edge off of the Novocaine shot. I thought I was going to get 5 fillings today. Well, then the Dentist came in and he told me they're only going to do 3 of them because he didn't want to overwhelm me today. I was kinda relieved/mad that I have to make another appointment for fillings on this side. But oh well. I started drooling a lot then he did the Novocain. I don't think it hurt. I actually... Kinda liked the way it felt. At one point it was really uncomfortable but that was the part I was FEARING. Then they left me to wait some more while the Novocain numbed my mouth. I could feel it starting to work when he came back and asked me if I was ready and if my mouth was numb. I told him I thought I was... So he banged on my teeth with a metal tool.... and I was not numb. That actually really hurt. So he left me alone for a while longer and I could tell my mouth was completely numb because:
A) My lips and cheek felt 10x's bigger than they are
-and-
B) I couldn't feel my nose!!!!
So we started. I turned my iPod up as loud as it could go. I didn't expect it to block out the drill though, but it was nice listening to some music. I was able to think about something else. Well, a couple of times it got really uncomfortable. He kept stopping and was like "Take a break. Take a break." Uhhh...No! Continue, please. I just wanted it over with. Once he was done, the Dentist Assistant started doing something.. I don't know what, but THAT hurt, too. I was finally done after an hour. My mouth felt weird. I wish I had some alcohol because I might as well have gotten drunk since my words were slurred. Anyways. I bought Holly some lunch since she watched Bailey and Bowtie for me. I ate a little bit but it was kind of hard chewing. It was especially hard drinking from a straw. LOL. The right side of my face/mouth was numb until like 4 or 5. I wish it was numb now because my mouth really hurts.
Bailey took a couple of naps today and I took two naps with her. Around 7:40PM, Bailey got her bath and went to bed around 7:50/8PM. She's missing Monday Night Raw. 13 days until WrestleMania... And not far from after WrestleMania, Derek will be coming home. :) I can't wait until my family is complete again. I love you, babe!!!
Ewww! 2 of the things I hate the most--- getting blood drawn and dentists!!
ReplyDeleteI know. They're awful!!
ReplyDeleteEverything is going to fall in place for you, Derek & Bailey real soon. Getting your mouth done now is best and thank god Holly is being so good to you about watching Bailey because you can't hold her sitting in a chair getting your teeth filled or getting an IUD. Steph you are the best wife and Mommy and real soon the best Daddy will be right there with you playing with Bailey in the early evening and then nighty night for Bailey so you & Derek can have some time alone. I love you all Grandma/meema
