    Em’s mouth is better. Yesterday she spent 3 hours in the chair and her jaw got stuck open. It’s fine now (still sore, but works).
    No cauterization today! No bleeding. I still haven’t touched all those documents. And thats only one of three projects on one of four proposals.
    But im tired so im going to bed.
    Hello Val
    I never heard of that happening where the Jaw gets stuck open, I'm glad that cleared up on its own. They must have had it really wide open for that to happen ? Three hours, Ouch :(
    To the good her mouth is now better.

    Wow, that is some work load, I hope You do not let it bother You.

    If I'm tired I'm off to bed no matter what time of day it is.

    Have a Nice Day

    I hate stupid lawsuits!
    Sorry not really attentive. Work is beyond ridiculous. They were supposed to have decided on projects last Friday...still “what about this one?” They upload tons of documents and then i find what’s wrong as to why we can’t use it. They aren’t screening them like they are supposed to. They’re lazy and dumping on me and i am not amused!
    Saturday is a dog adoption event.
    Sunday is an office picnic (none of this current group is in my office).

    Good morning!

    Glad Em is feeling better from the dentist. Seems like they could think of a more logical way to work in someones mouth and not cause so much pain..Hope you get a rest Val at some point. Good luck at the doggie event! Glad the Texas tornado was not by you.

    Wish you could send some rain our way, Roger!

    Doctor went very well. I am practically pain free. I am picking up more meds in the morning. I did not feel like fighting traffic or waiting for meds at Walmart, so I got gas , picked up supper and came home. I got 2 shots, one for pain and one for inflammation. I know the other meds are for pain and maybe a muscle relaxer, not quite sure. I should have gone in sooner, silly me.. :| Something is making me feel a little sick to my tummy though. I never had a med to do that, but it did happen a bit after the shots.

    Hope your scan and trip went well, Roger. I think I have the right day...

    Off to bed early..for me! :D Jan B)

    I have posted more humor, Enjoy

    Hi
    Currently It is 63 degrees outside. There was another round of storms yesterday in the late afternoon into the evening and then around 11 PM a final round of heavy rain. Before the last of the rain parts of the are had 2 to 2.5 inches of rain and flooded streets.

    When I did a followup visit to the local doctor Wednesday as much to bring him up to date my brother suggested that since I was unable to walk far why not ask about a Handicap Placard. I printed out both types of applications, the long term one and a short 6 month application which is what I went with. The Temporary one is good for six months with one 6 month renewal. That one i finished filling out Thursday and looking at it I saw that at the bottom there was a place for the Chief of Police to sign it. When I went to the local PD it appears that they hand out the placards for the 6 month ones. I left it with them and they called me back later and Voila I have a Red Temporary Handicap Placard without ever having to brave the end of month Crowd at the Motor Vehicle Commission facility. I feel bad that I need it and I am hopeful that once I have the surgery and follow up treatments if needed I will bounce back.

    FWIW the Police Chief approved and signed the form despite the PD being busy dealing with some emergencies. Our town departments work pretty efficiently. The Placard expires November 30 and by then I will know if I need to have the doctor re-certify for another 6 month or not.

    The cure to nuisance lawsuits is simple as I see it. Make the loser pay for the winners costs and many will go away.

    Work sounds so disorganized to me with no accountability. Lazy co workers are a national problem.

    Good Luck Saturday at the Adoption Event, Hopefully the weather cooperates.

    I suspect that You will enjoy the office picnic without the ones from Your office more than if they were there.

    Hopefully the storms are not to severe and You get a good nights sleep

    The only way I can think of to have pain free dentistry would be to have them put You under and I can think of problems from that too. One problem would be no feedback while they work.

    Good news on the pain front, It sounds as if the stomach might be related to the shots, I could see that happening.

    The Catscan was the Friday before Memorial Day :wink:

    The local news last night talked about Antibiotics for a dog that cost $122 at CVS, Then later they found out that they would have been $22 elsewhere :(

    The week end!! :)

    I think I remember what storms are like! That is a lot of water in a short time. I do not know why, but for some reason I was thinking you got a 2nd CT after your Weds. appt...the mind is going!! Glad you were able to get the placard...I love when people make helpful suggestions!

    That is a huge difference in pricing! Usually it is a 20 dollar or so difference! Actually charging for tests at different facilities are like that, too. Sometimes a substantial difference. I lucked out, one med was 11 dollars and one was 7 dollars..I was happy and not much in the mood for running around. :)

    I hope you feel stronger with each day! It has not been That long ago since the surgery, even though I bet it seems like it.

    First time ever I have needed to eat before meds..My cast iron tummy must be getting more sensitive :| !

    Val, hope the doggies find some good homes!! <3 ...Jan

    Hello Jan
    Well I have had two CT scans, one before the surgery and the recent on so You were half right :wink:

    I was not surprised by the big price difference. When I comparison shopped CVS vs the local pharmacy the local one was substantially lower for everything.
    That is a good price and not a budget buster. I have a suspicion that it is not the hernia surgery but the liver problem making me weak, just a suspicion.

    Some Drugs can bother the stomach if it is empty also IMO the food slows the absorption so that the meds can work over a longer period of time.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Hello Val

    Good morning!!

    You are so right about the food and meds!! I definitely need to eat with the muscle relaxer. It really makes me feel like I am just getting over the flu. :D And that is with food!! It also knocks me out, and I get so sleepy for about an hour after taking. I will have to skip a dose in the morning or I will be laid up on the floor at church snoring, lol...

    Thanks for noticing me trying to stay in my calories at least. I am having a hard time because I tend to overeat eating carbs. I should be doing better...but dang, I have missed some of those things. Meat here is so expensive, and I have really missed those childhood carby favorites! Trying to remember I can eat them in small quantities!

    Weather here is only 90 and a nice breeze...It has been so pleasant!! My little garden spinner just makes me happy watching it go. It is the one I bought at the beach. May May likes watching it too, lol...

    Well, I am a really slow walker...I am doomed, lol... :# Hagen Daz is too expensive an ice cream..others taste just as good!! And once again N.J. comes in first with a stat you don't want!! :'(

    Fast weekend! hope you rested!! Are you sleeping better? ...Jan

    Hello Jan
    Don't feel bad I bought 4 boxes of Temptation, AKA Kraft Mac N Cheese :(
    I still like it a lot, When I make it I cook the pasta, drain it as dry as I can, Melt Butter into it and then add the cheese packet which avoids it being creamy but oh so tasty.

    You don't want to drive with the muscle relaxer from the sound of it, Be careful.

    Only 90 ? I think of anything in the upper 80s as a heat wave :wink:

    That reminds me I should go to the Dollar store and see if they have any spinners for the front flower beds.

    I am also a slow walker, oh well.

    I agree Haagen Daz is expensive but it is the only ice cream I know of that only has natural ingredients and IMO it is so good :wink:

    When it comes to being number 1 NJ leads the way with things where You really want to be number 50.
    OTOH, Good entertainment options in NJ, NY and PA so...

    How I sleep seems to depend to a certain extent on what I eat, I sleep better on a low carb diet, Sadly I love foods that are high carb.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi! Saturday our adoption event was at a different Petsmart than usual. It was pleasant. No adoptions. One set of kids weee begging their mom for a pup. We told mom to sleep on it before deciding. We’ve had dogs returned when mom wasn’t supportive and the kids flaked. She hasn’t called back.
    Today Fritz got adopted to a previous adopter. He’s got an awesome family.
    Today I went to the office picnic. It was nice. Good turn out. I stayed true to keto by having a hamburger with mustard and used lettuce as the bun. They had chips and csrb-sides, and desserts, but i was happy.
    I didn’t get any work done this weekend. 😁
    NSV - at the dog event my friend pulled me aside and said “you have a skinny butt. Have you seen it? It’s a little cute butt now.” I rolled with laughter.
    At home, in my under clothers, i checked out the mirror and was comically surprised that ny under things were way too big! Sagging material. I had kept my smaller sized under things in a ziplock bag...so i kived them to my drawer and packed up the big ones! It’s not skinny, but there is good progress. Abdomen is hanging onto the fat! 🤔

    Hello Val
    It sounds as if that was a good move telling the Mom to sleep on it. One down more to go, Fritz :smile:

    I think if I were served a Hamburger I would also skip the bun but treat it as a Ground Beef Steak with a little salt or maybe salt and ketchup. Chips are a weakness of mine :(

    Wee, a whole weekend work free :smiley:

    What a good thing to hear and proof that the diet is having an effect.

    I have the same problem with where the fat hangs on the longest sadly.

    I kept things in a spare dresser drawer.

    Have a Good Day
