well, i got 2 teeth pulled (one was a wisdom tooth, so i suppose my entries here will be a little less intelligent from now on) 3 cavities filled and Im feeling pretty decent. They gave me some tylenol 3 ( other pain meds make me itchy)  I let the kid stay home from school today, she has eye dr appt today at 2, and I didnt think Id feel like driving across town to pick her up from school.

I blackmailed her and said if she wants to stay home with me all day she had to help me out and clean house and dont even THINK about asking for a repeat day off anytime soon!!

I found out my info for short term disability, so I can get the ball rolling on not being completely broke while Im laid up after the big surgery...Ive also got to follow up with Duke and see WHEN theyre gonna pull my first appt off..I keep worrying that all this time that teeny tiny piece of cancer thats still in me is growing at exponential rates, fueled by all the chocolate i eat...

in an effort to be vigilant in support of the upcoming bilateral mastectomy-I took some advice from the ladies at www.breastcancer.org board and am having my dental 'issues' addressed..I established with a dentist and found to NO surprise at all - i need a shit ton of stuff done ..2 infected cavities as well as 3 or 4 others that need to be filled, 3 extractions and a deep cleaning.

Kiddies. Brushing your teeth in a hurry for five years is a really bad idea. You might end up with boob cancer and hafta cram it all into a couple of really painful appointments..Yuk. So tomorrow, the dentist is doing my left side (how fitting that its the same side as my cancer) 2 or 3 cavities and 2 extractions down, i can even remember exactly what else she said has to be done. But I got the gist. Im scheduled from 11am till 3pm tomorrow - today actually- i just havent gone to bed yet.

By the time i get done getting my teeth fixed, my tummy tucked to make new boobs- hell my hubby will be getting an upgrade! how often does THAT happen in marriage?? By softball season Ill be a brand new woman LoL

Laugh it up. Tomorrow you can point fingers and whisper at me, the drooling idiot of a cautionary tale that ill be...
