Day 2, Week 6

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Well today has been full of ups and downs.

Ive been a huge deal of pain due to my wisdom tooth needing to be removed but the dentist required me to have an X-Ray and go on antibiotics for 5 days before they can take it out.
I have been on pain meds all day and have been very woozy and lethargic.
I didn't eat for the 1st half of the day.Partly through fear of pain and partly because I really didn't feel up to it.I never expected it but Tasha came with me to the dentist after calling in to see how I was this morning and then taxied me to the radiologists to have my X-Ray and then to the doctors surgery to make an appointment and back to the dentiist to drop my films off and finally back home.

Im so lucky!

Because of the pain medication and the associated pain of course, I have been advised by both my best mate and my hubby not to work out and, to be honest, I think if I had tried tonight, my husband would have found me dead on the end of the treadmill!
I had a super depressed night.You see, I have had dental problems from the age of 9 when I had my tooth knocked out with a metal bar and lost my front tooth.
Ever since ( the past 25 years) I have been in and out of dental surgeries with more and more problems. After that long , that much pain and that much money, enough is enough!
I stayed off the smokes through most of it but tonight I caved in.

Laying here, by myself, I felt so fat, depressed, frumpy and like a total loser.
I was about to pig out on chocolate and reached for a cigarette instead.

Now I feel awful!

It was a lose, lose situation . No matter which way I went, I was going to feel like crap.
I can't stand being negative anymore. It is the one trait ( besides dishonesty) that I loathe in others and yet, here I am being possibly the most negative person I know! ( well,perhaps 2nd)

So now, I sit here thinking that tomorrow is a new day and come what may. I will embrace it and all that it brings ( besides tooth ache that is! LOL)

Oh, I ended up eating a cup-a-soup and a bowl of cereal with skim milk. I had to eat to take my tablets. I alo had about 20g of cheese and a slice of ham but alas, no bloody exercise! AARRGGHHHH!!!!

Bring on tomorrow and come what may!

Glad to see a spark of positivity back darlin but everyone has the right to be down in the dumps every now and again, its pushing yourself back up again that makes others respect and admire you even more. (Hope that makes sense). Love you lots babe. XOXo Mwah! Oh you know you sparked my curiousity with wondering who the No.1 person is?

Hello my friend,well you know that I can empathise with you about problamatic teeth, having spent most of my life having dental health issues myself. The pain and sickness that comes with dental problems I would not wish on anyone. Please know that the stumbles you have encountered today are ones that we as humans are fortunate enough to make, that you have the intellect and insight to understand why you made this missteps is a beautiful example of how wonderful you are...So run with those words my friend and live your life well and happy. I love you and wish you continued success on your journey. Arleen x
