Today has been a rough day.
Karin woke up with a tooth ache. She had it last night and I guess it was bugging her all night, to the point that she was counting the minutes to take Tylenol again. If you don't know Karin never takes any meds, so for her to count down until she gets to pop some Tylenol is big. She mentioned around 9 that it was still bothering her so I picked up the phone to call the DDS. She had never seen this dentist, but the kids have gone to him. I called him and explained to him the situation and they said I could bring her down right now or wait until Monday. We opted for right now. We got there about 10 and they saw her right away. She had a root canal & crown on this tooth in the back that was not doing its job. The dentists advice was to have it removed today. AHHHH. What else?? Karin would need to see a specialist, given her situation, and the dentist got us an appt there right away. It was right up the street so we headed right there. Wonderful, wonderful oral surgeon. Took us right in and proceeded to call Karin's other doctors so that everyone agreed on the extraction and then meds to be given for pain and for infection. It was all a go. We had to go back at 3pm to to get the extraction so we headed home for Karin to take a quick nap. Around 3 we headed back to the oral surgeon who drugged her up via IV and did the extraction. We are home now and Karin has been asleep since 4:30. We woke her up at 6 to give her meds and she ate a little yogurt and then she went back out. The oral surgeon called a little while ago to check on her (did I mention she was wonderful??) and just wants to make sure she is getting enough fluids. We are going to wake her up in a bit to get her to drink some more.
No tattoo today, guess it was not meant to be. Next time.
Not sure I will be able to post tomorrow. I will be going home which requires being in an airplane for 1/2 the day, then with the time change it will be late. I will try before I head out though.
Pray for Karin to sleep well and for her to not be any pain. Stinks to feel miserable and be in pain also.
