Sorry I have been neglecting you all but I have been recovering from all my teeth being removed. I have to say my last appointment was awful - he couldn't get my mouth to freeze up and everytime he went in I could feel every movement. Also I took a panic attack while on the chair - how embarrassing! Anyway it is all over and done with and I don't have to get any more teeth removed. My last appointment with the dentist is on Wednesday and then I am going to have a few appointments with the hygienist.
I am so glad I went through with this and know it will have a major change on my life.
So I really don't have a lot to report - to be honest I haven't been thinking about the diet too much as I have been concentrating more on what I can eat without hurting! I have become addicted to Frys Turkish Delight and Milky ways.
We went out on Saturday to look for my outfit for the wedding which I managed to get - hooray! One more thing sorted. I just need to get James a suit and new shirt and tie now. James delivered the gift today to the happy couple.
I was a bit miserable on Saturday as my mouth was very sore but nothing compared to when I woke up on Sunday - I was in tears. We just relaxed on Sunday and spent the day in.
Today I got up early and have cut the grass which was long overdue but to be honest I couldn't have done it before now as the ground was too wet. It only took me four hours and I am now shattered and I still have to do all the strimming yet! Our garden is about half an acre and is only grass at the minute so you can see why it takes me so long. To be honest I enjoyed being out in the garden as I haven't been able to even walk on it until now. I planted some summer bulbs in pots and done a tidy up of the garden and greenhouse.
I don't have much planned for tomorrow but might hit the garden again as I would like to get it sorted now for the summer ahead.
Oh I have put my car up for sale too! I am selling it boo hoo. I have good reason though - I don't use it that often, it is handy to have but it is a bit of a waste. The reason I am doing it now as that there are new tax prices here in Ireland on cars and it would cost me 1000 euro to tax it per year! No way! I will not do it! Also my car guzzles petrol and I am spending a fortune and it seems pointless when James car sits at work from 8 to 6 everyday. We are thinking of getting a new car - I want a convertible even though we don't get the weather but we will have to wait and see as there is no panic. I hope the car sells soon though before I change my mind.
Right I am off to check out what you have all been up to.
Bye bye for now!

Maybe
Maybe it was too much too soon (close). You know. Appointment back to back?? Sometimes we build up immunities to medications and maybe that is what happened with you and the numbing medicine.
Hugs to you. I am sorry you had such a horrible appointment today. Hope you aren't in too much mouth pain following this one. Don't feel bad about the panic attack, the dentist knew what he/she was up against.
Hope also the visits with the hygenist will go smoothly for you. Just think: if you stay on top of things now, they won't be so bad or difficult in the future, huh?
Joy, I am so happy your dental work is over....mostly. What a trauma to go through...I can't even imagine. (HUG) I think I would have had a panic attack too ~ especially since I'm such a chicken. But, its over now....you poor thing! (another BIG hug)
Sorry to hear you have to sell the car. Gas is sooo expensive right now and then you have that tax on top of it! I'd let the car go too....although, I know that must be difficult to do. It's quite nice having one around! But, we have to do what we have to do.
Please take care of yourself and be especially careful of what you eat. You don't want to hurt your teeth!!
the teeth situation is taking care of. I'm not scared of the dentist and after all that I think I might of had a panic disorder. Glad you got to do the yard. I cant wait until we finally buy a house so we can have a yard. Grant it, here in Florida we will be lucky if we get an acre but its still better than nothing at this point. Your yard sounds like its so beautiful. And good luck with selling the car. DH and I both had a car when we got together but as of now we are down to one too. Its just easier for the most part. Especially since DH has a company vehicle. Well, I better go. Take care.
I'm so glad to hear the Good news that your teeth are now behind you!!! Good Luck selling your car, I hope it sells quickly.
I to have been sick, not working out. I lost 4 lbs. from being sick, so at least something good came out of it. I'm not going to be working out at least until the weekend. I want to make sure I'm really better this time.
