ACHING

Well I did go yesterday to the dentist - secretly I was chuffed with myself for going as I have such a phobia.

The dentist was brilliant though I have to say.  He knows about my phobia and how nervous I was so he lit lavender oil for when I arrived to try and relax me.

I now have two teeth less to worry about!

The worst part was getting the 3 injections to numb my mouth after that I felt nothing and after 5 minutes of prodding about he announced it was all over.  I was so surprised that it was over so quick.

James came with me as I was told I wasn't allowed to drive due to having the twighlight sleep - to be honest I could have driven as I only felt a bit shakey but when the fresh air hit me I was fine.

When I got home the numbness started to wear off and to be honest I was in a little pain but tried not to think about it.  I didn't want to take pain killers - I have a phobia against them now too after poor Lynns death.

I slept on and off last night and this morning it is still a little sore but guess that is to be expected.

I didn't feel like eating yesterday obviously so hopefully it will have an effect on the scales!

Today I really need to get some housework done this morning as I haven't done a tap since last Friday - literally nothing so there is loads to do!  I then am going to head into the city to get some groceries and shopping.  I have to wait until lunchtime until James collects me as I left my car in his works car park when going yesterday.

Hope you are all good - right I am off to hit the shower and get the day started.

Have a good one everyone.

Got the doctor thing done, getting the eye appt done on Monday, all i have left is the BIG D! ive got alot of work ahead of me, i had an exam last year and never went back! Dont do too much today, you will probably still be a  bit sore. Take care!

Whew....

Joy, I'm so glad that everything went well and that the first trip to the dentist went as smoothly as it did.  Sounds like you have a very kind dentist since he prepared the lavender oil for you...nice!  Sounds like you have a busy day planned....I hope the day goes well for you.  Take care of yourself !

I will try to post on Friday before I leave for the week.  I fly out to a conference on Sunday and won't return until next Thursday.  I sure hope I do well with my food choices ~ especially since I will be eating conference food.    I will do my best to make smart choices and try my best to keep up an exercise program.  I hear they have a beautiful pool and sauna so I'm going to take my swimsuit.  Wish me luck!!

Take Care,

Julia

What

a nice dentist. It always nice when someone that is suppose to help better you helps you not feel as nervous. Sorry about the ruff night though. I hope you felt a lot better today.

Proud as Punch!

Congrats for facing your dentist phobia and going through with getting the work done.  You will be happy in the long run.

Best regards!
