Yes, I agree about doing whatever necessary to get some antibiotics.. Then hope the installation of the crown goes well and then complain like crazy about this dental couple.

I can't take the any form of codeine cause it gets me beyond nauseaus...but I wish I did have some antibiotics laying round. I usually have a supply (that I get from Mexico) just in cause. I have only taken them once. I know that you are not supposed to use them often...but with my schedule and my doctor's unavailability I find that if I take something right the second I feel sick I ward off something more serious later. I just found out that my friends next store neighbor is a dentist so she is going to ask him his opinion and get back to me tonight. I want to know if it really happens all the time and is "no big deal" as my dentist puts it. My DH is quite peeved that the dentist told me not to eat jerky! He is going to take me to my next appointment so that if there are any problems he will be there. Ee~ I wish I lost 8 pounds! If the lockjaw is not dangerous, if I at least lost weight....LOL!

You know Sea...I was just thinking. Every time I have gotten a crown or bridge they show me the color they are matching and ask my approval. The dentist did not do that this time...have they stopped doing that now?

Since, a year ago when I got two new crowns, he asked me my opinion of the color match.

Color~ at this rate she probably ordered them in black! Anyway, my friend called me back. Her dentist/neighbor said it is a common side effect for the epinephrine to cause heart palpitations and the dentist should not use it on me again. He said the jaw thing is not common but is not unheard of...that my muscle got stabbed and it is traumatized so it tightened up. But it happens. He also said that the possibility of infection this early (it takes two weeks) would be rare. So, it seems I should live at least through the weekend...LOL!

Since, if I were forced to go back to the dentist I did not like, I would make it extremely clear that he/she could count on a good helping of knuckle sandwich if the rest of the dental work was done poorly. Because health is a very important thing to me, and should be to others, because you never know when something will happen, getting sick is never convenient, I keep the most immediate medical needs in one area. If I move or travel, those items are at close hand. I have to say that my thermometer is never far out of reach because a rise in your temp is a pretty good sign that something's not right in your body. On my last visit to the dentist, he talked to me about color and a gazillion things; I got a root canal plus he literally remade the tooth right beside it. he gave me a prescription for pain pills, and told me to come by anytime if I had even the tiniest concern or problem. He fussed and fussed over the bite when he was done and made me promise that if felt at all 'off', that I would come in right away. I had a bit of an infection in the jaw as well, but his medications cleared it all up and I had NO pain at all after my dental work. The only pain I had was the trauma in my head over having to go to the dentist!

Shadoe~ I love your dentist! Even if all the other stuff is considered "normal", I am concerned she did not even show me what color, let alone ask my opinion. I am sure she is matching it to my others...but frankly I was thinking about bleaching my teeth so that would change the color. We shall see...good thing I am not afraid of the dentist cause this would cause one to not go back! So off to work I go with Motrin in hand...

She should have let you choose the color! As for reactions to root canals and extractions, they really vary and some of it is simply the reaction of a specific tooth/root. However, your dentist is already under suspision because of hitting your tongue with a needle! And not showing you the color. And having an uncaring business and life partner as her backup... so.. I'd be suspicious of her up front.

Since, I had to have a number of teeth pulled 'bout a year ago (TG, all in the back). Prior to that happening (all at the same time), my dentist gave me four scripts: couple I don't remember and antibiotic and valium. I was set to go. I didn't feel the need for the valium, but he wanted me to take one shortly prior. He took care of me. In any case, you need a dentist with a better "bedside manner". Want to come to Chicago 'burbs? I'd reccomend mine.

Ahem Seamonkey: Pictures please!! You need to start training Angelina and Critter with the new camera (I'm sure it's such a good camera, even a cat could take pictures with it!!) Or at least figure out a ledge to stick your camera on, and use the "timer" feature for self-portraits.

Hi Sea- Sounds like you are enjoying your newest CC robe. Is it the bordeaux one? Let's see some pictures. Try shooting a picture like Eeyore into the mirror. It works like a charm. Joely- Did I hear right? Did hot CC guy get fired? Was he stealing CC? I sure wouldn't blame him. Okay, time to catch up on reading these two threads. Want to see all that I've missed.

Hey, landi, we've got to stop meeting like this! Or maybe not! I never knew about the outlet stores in Napa, but those are a bit closer than Vacaville, so I may have to start shopping there!

Joely- It's nice to be back. It's always so hard to catch up around here. I always mess up which threads which and were I read something. I must tell you I am having a love affair with those soy tarts too! My whole house smells like the Bill's crackling fireplace scent. I had my warmer going all day. It's so cozy and delicious. That coupled with my CC goods and life is good. I am a lucky girl. Sounds like you've been busy getting the house ready for Christmas. It must be a blast with your boys around. The DH and I put the tree up tonight and most of the other Christmas decorations are out. I still have some shopping left but not much. The type A personality comes in handy for the holidays. LOL. Hope you're enjoying your wine.

Jinsky! Tonight was a GREAT tree night! It's all decorated and everything... you should see the place where Kaden and Kael decided to put all the ornaments that I gave them to hang. It's really funny! Did any of you see the Stepping Santa that climbs the ladder with a string of lights at costco earlier this season? IT IS SO CUTE! It sits next to the tree and he climbs the ladder as if he's hanging the lights. LOVE IT!

Sounds adorable, Joely!! Well, I didn't get my tree up nor did I get any decorations out because instead of tree-shopping and decorating, DD had a lot of school work AND.....she and her boyfriend came over here to tell us............. ta ta ta DA!!!!!!!!! They're ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!! Apparently, they've been engaged since last weekend but wanted to tell us in person! He had the engagement ring with him on Thanksgiving and wanted to ask DH his permission (Guys still do that?!! I think it's cute!) but he was never able to get him alone. Then his grandmother ruined his surprise on the weekend when she asked my DD how her parents reacted to the NEWS!!!!!!!! When she asked what.... she stumbled with the... well, I thought he was going to ask you....! She said he was so mad at g-ma, he went stomping up the stairs! Of course, DD couldn't leave it alone and was grinning and hopping around and saying.... well... WELL?!!!!!!! So then he said something like..So is it a YES?!! ROFL So anyway, they both wanted to be here to tell us. She was really nervous because I've been giving her the speel about not getting married until she's older, esp. after her last boyfriend!! She'll be 22 in Jan. and he's not yet 21 - not until April. I knew HE was really serious so I've been warning her not to get too serious <HEH HEH> so there she is all nervous trying to tell me. They decided to separate and conquer! LOL DH was watching a movie so they sat there for about 45 min. and finally couldn't take it anymore and came out and told me! Then DH was available right after and they told him. DD was saying she was afraid I was going to yell at her and I just said, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!! (in a kidding way!) She said that they're not planning on getting married right away or anything until they both finish college. That's one thing I've told her - finish your degree and find a good job first. I told them both to do the things they want to do before kids (since they're both so young they have time for kids down the road!) and they agreed. They already set conditions for themselves prior to marriage! This guy is a total breath of fresh air after her last bf! So anyway... it's the first engagement for any of our kids! I must say her FIANCE (1st time I've used that word!) is a good guy and he treats her like a queen, is a hard worker and has goals, so I can't complain. Besides..when you're in love.. you're in love no matter what "mom" says! LOL

Joely - I used to LOVE letting the kids decorate the tree when they were little and then Santa's helpers would just give them a little help while they slept! Of course, the helpers MUST LEAVE SOME IN THE LITTLE ONES PLACE!!!!!

Jinsky~ What are these soy tarts you and Joely are talking about?? I am a big soy eater! Joely~ My DH tried to put lights up for the first time and lets just say I "forget" to turn them on... First he used Velcro and they all fell off, then he put tape over it...then plastic hooks...they are all "scalloped" not straight. On the terrace he just hung it like a clothes line across...I tell you we look like the Charlie Brown house of decorations here! Color~ All these dentist stories are making me realize how bad mine is! Sea~ And I didn't even get a root canal! Just a regular old crown and a filling! Imagine if I had a root canal...My jaw is still locked shut even with the massaging, heat and Motrin! I managed to squish some cake frosting in my mouth at work though...so much for losing weight!

Hi Since - the soy tarts are unfortunately not edible, though some people have been fooled and ended up with a mouthful of wax! A gal I know makes soy tarts fresh to order that are like wickless candles - here is her site: www.soyful-joys.com. Alyce is the best! I used to love candles, but these burn much cleaner and the scents are much truer and pure. I often get headaches from scents, but rarely does that happen with these. :o) Many of the scents do smell like food - never been a foodie scent person till these. I get the wonderful scent without the calories! :o) And - I am so sorry you are feeling so miserable after that awful dentist trip! I hope you are feeling better and can get fixed up ASAP...then hope you can find a nice, competent dentist :o) BTW - I love edible soy products, too. :o)
