I am in San Diego again.. tooth not healing, going to see my dentist today.

Happy Thanksgiving... So much to be thankful for, but today I am thankful for all my friends and family. And most of all my husband who takes such good care of me!

Oh Happy Day! No more pain meds needed... I went 24 hours without anything. The only time I feel pain now is when I lift something, or walk too much. Not quite ready for the gym, but getting there! ~smile~.

Recovery Update: Pain can be managed with one dose per day! ~Smile~ Still eating creamed stuff, can't open mouth, but as I always say... progress is progress no matter how small... are you practicing piano?

Friends loveth at all times.... what is the scripture reference?

The weather in Missouri is changing.... a nice cold breeze is coming through my window and the rain is making it a cozy cuddly day. Makes me want to bake some cookies! (Even though I don't and can't eat them!)

Pain is demoted to a dull ache, but still can't open my mouth to fit a toothbrush in there. Oh well, progress is progress no matter how small...

Ever wonder why I ~smile~ a lot? Its a reminder of my personal motto: S-piritually M-inded I-s L-ife E-ternal. Does anyone have a personal motto to share?

I am feeling much better today! Me siento much mejor este dia! (I am practicing my Spanish.. are you practicing piano? ~smile~.

Enjoying a beautiful autumn day in Missouri, from my bedroom window!

Day 12. Still down. How do you spell relief? A-D-V-I-L ..... feeling a little lonely today. Small signs of improvement. I think I've blended everything in sight!

Broke down and had ice cream! I will pay for it later... I don't eat sugar, but boy was it good for a change. Stawberry Shortcake!

Amazing how much work you can do from bed with a laptop! ~smile~.

Anyone up to sharing a piano performance? Send me your mp3 and I will post it! ~smile~.

My cheek is iching! Does that mean I am healing? Please say yes!

A new dish: Creamed Spinach with Coconut Cream! ~smile~ It's quite good!

Oh, and my gosh no one can get near me with my horrendous bad breath! Been rinsing with salt water and brushing the outside of my teeth, but can't get inside! (Should I be announcing these humiliating things?)

Any recipes for soft, pourable, yummy food? Can't open my mouth to chew, so I have to pour it through my teeth with the end of a spoon. Soup, watered down pudding, warm yogurt, runny guacamole has been my staples. Any suggestions?

Tuesday - Still down, but working from bed. Missing some beautiful fall days. "The falling leaves, drift by my window"... anyone know that song?

Still in bed, in pain, feeling miserable. However, there are some small signs of progress like I can spread my pain meds out to every 4 hours instead of every 2 hours.. how's that for improvement? My husband has learned how to make cream of squash, cream of brocolli, cream of cauliflower - yum!

On a lighter note..who sings this song (my all time favorite vocalist!) .."When I was young I'd listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite song..."

I am alternating Tylenol and Advil and it seems to be giving me some more relief. I've had a wisdom tooth extracted before and it was not this bad...can't open my mouth still. Am I being a big baby?

Up with insomnia... tooth really aching.

I am home in Missouri! It's a beautiful fall day with colorful leaves falling everywhere!

Had a wisdom tooth extraction... I'm all drugged up, but still feeling some pain. At least it's done! ~smile~.

Missing church today for emergency dental work.... :( Wish me well!

Spending the day with my grandbabies! ~smile~.

I feel like myself again! I get to go out and see the sun! I have a week in San Diego before returning to Missouri!
