Beware the heat
Yesterday was root canal fun. I was in the chair for two hours with the endodontist prodding and poking for an hour and a half. After two years I still have an active infection. I am back on antibiotics. For lunch I stopped and downed a Steak (a shooter) and Shake ( chocolate malted). Then I needed a three hour nap. My mouth was sore so I just had a small bowl of ice cream for supper. I had no problem falling asleep that night.
But not so complete a recovery was to be had. Feeling a little shaky the next morning I still managed to walk dogs, lift litter and find some mystery mail. Then a quick water and yogurt for lunch . I grabbed a bottle of water and a juice pack and went off to swim class. The cool water felt great but ten minutes before the end of class I was sweaty and so weak I could barely lift my legs. I got out of the pool and collapsed on the bench and chugged my water. Sally took my blood sugar and it was slightly low (80). She brought me a sugary drink and a peanut butter crackers which I wolfed down. And then someone refilled my water. After 20 minutes I was able to walk unassisted to the locker room where I drank more water and my apple juice. On the way to my car I ate an orange. my instructor had offered to drive me home but I was ok. she followed me home. By that time I was feeling pretty good but I rested for an hour and was ready to go to a party. when I got home at 10:00 I had a message from my instructor asking me to call. I had forgotten that I told her I would call. She said that she thought I was in the hospital. oops. The moral of my story is drink your water.

Next entry: Outing anyone?
Previous entry: I had a nice time last night.
I was two hours in my Dentist office, today. I had a porecelain onlay replacing an old filling that was decaying. I had to drink lunch since my left side of my mouth is still numb. Sue, I’m sorry about your recovery ordeal but happy Sally was there to help you. I’mm off to work. Yesterday was an especially good day at work and a nice evening with Matt.

What tales from everyone!! I was stooopid yesterday, worked at the church library in the morning and came home and worked outside from about 1 till 2:30. I started to have a little trouble breathing, so I headed back inside. Took a cool shower and soon felt fine. Moral of story, work outside in the morning and do library work in the afternoon.
Today it was already obnoxious outside at 8 am when I went to Curves. So I have been putting together a copy of our travel itinerary, and next I will make Steve’s folks a photo album from the trip to MN with the girls. Steve is flying up Sunday morning for a few days visit before we head overseas.

Let’s hope that there are no emergencies for Steve while you are in Europe.

It is hot! It is 10 AM - I am procrastinating but still plan on going for a walk since I pigged out last night (Dave is out of town).
I could have given you a scoop of homemade ice cream Susan - fudgsicle,cherry cream cheese, margarita or orange.
