Dentist
Last week, I was saying how finally I was going to get my broken tooth, which broke during lockdown 1 removed. Well, as I was getting myself ready to leave to go to the dentist, I had to cancel. So am rebooked and going again today.
I am really not looking forward to it, and know I will be in a lot of pain after. But I will also be glad to finally get it removed as trust me having half a front tooth is not fun. All I can say is thank god for the face masks we have been wearing.
Stress
This picture is just how I have been this past week, I have been totally stressed out. We share a house with my parents which works great as not only do I have C, I also am doing more and more for my parents. It is also better for me as I do not have to worry about them constantly. But I swear they think I have nothing better to do than deal with minor things for them.
I try to tell them I am busy working, or helping my husband with something (I also help with his business), or of course dealing with C, before I even get a minute to myself.
On top of that I have been sneezing a lot more and have been trying xlear, which is a natural sinus rinse, and found it has been helping me. Not sure if it is an allergy to something or hayfever as never really suffered before.
Time Out
I have managed to get C into the kitchen this week and we have made our banana bread, it is so quick and easy to make. We love it and luckily C can eat it as is soft enough for her.
Finally
I can not go without mentioning the football. I am not a football fan but even I got tense watching the game the other night. Good luck boys.
I used to make banana bread or rock cakes are delicious
It is a favourite in our house and having to make more today
I hope that getting your tooth out will help loads, and maybe that will take away some of the stress.
Thank you it will help and feeling a little less painful although my root is still there so need to see about having that removed
The boys are watching the football Euro final now and I can hear lots of screams and aahhhs. I am praying England win.
I watched it with my husband I do not usually watch football and now I know why the tension and emotions we went through
Keeping my fingers and toes for the match tonight . Come on England , we’ve got this in the bag!
Such a shame and if it wasn’t for that one trying to be clever we could have won
You had an eventful week,im glad you managed to get your tooth sorted x
So am I as been like this for over a year, although very painful and sore at the moment
Wow i really admire you looking after your parents and living with them. This must be super hard. You are an amazing woman!
Aww thank you, it does have its moments but so much less stress and worry on me x
Dentist ! Unlucky – come on England ….. ive my fingers crossed
I am still suffering now from the dentist, but yes come on England x
Sorry to hear about your continuing dental problems. having dental surgery is not fun. Try to find pain killers that have codeine, as that helps tooth pain better than paracetamol or ibuprophen.
It is painful I am using my daughters co codamol which is helping
A lovely, chatty post despite your stress. Hope the dental appointment went better than expected and happy 6th blogiversary!
Thank you, just back from the dentist in lots of pain and back next week to discuss the root which is still there
