Hiya Bladder Blog , friends and faithful readers ,
I've not forgotten you , it's just that for the past 3 weeks I have had other things on my mind.
It's felt like " Zombie Time " days and nights flowing into one .
It all started the day before New Year's Even , when a tooth started to give me grief and pain .
An infected molar , lower left side.
Yet another challenge to keep me on my toes.
Not easy to find a dentist on New Year's Day, but I did find Folktandvården 2nd January." No appointments " they told me " just wait in the waiting room. We estimate it will take 3-4 hours "
I arrived at 2 pm and left at 9pm - a total of 7 hours.
Turns out that said molar tooth was infected .
Tooth was opened up , cleaned up a bit and antibiotics prescribed .
( Infection must heal before tooth can be root filled )
Two days of pain until antibiotics started to kick in and after some ringing around finally found another dentist and an appointment was made for root filling part 1 , 5th January ,
The pre - op information meeting was on the 7th January - HUGE amounts of info to take in
Meeting with counsellor , Birgitta the following day on the 8th January
Root filling part 2 , 13th January
Root filling part 3 , 15th January and a total bill of SEK 4,500
In between hospital visits and root filling, i did have nice visits from friends, laundry dates, recycling of paper , glass and plastic, food shopping, and checking family's flat . Daily chores made difficult by snow , blizzards , slush , ice and sleet . There were a couple of days I did not venture out , and slept all day.
Family returned home from their travels on the morning of the 15th .
YAY ... hurray .. missed them so .
Had to hand over my set of keys as theirs were packed away somewhere in their luggage. hehehe
Never mind
Off I went to my root filling appointment leaving them to rest and unpack before being invited over for a visit , and showered with presents.
So that's it - we are practically up to date now .
Spent the weekend going around in circles , as I tend to do before a trip , gathering myself and also doing some clearing of emotional clutter .
Feeling apprehensive
Dreaming 'collage - like ' dreams and then forgetting them on waking
Sadness and some tears - energies in motion
Overnight bag is out ready to be packed tomorrow morning
Bills have been paid
I owe people emails - sorry
Experiencing overwhelm - some things on my 'to do list ' are going to have to be left to the universe .
I'm going to miss my computer
All for now - can't think ........
Night night - may post again tomorrow before leaving for the hospital around 1:30 pm .
Checking in time is 2.30 pm
Operation is set for Tuesday , 20 January , probably early in the morning.
Wish me luck , and a graceful, pain free transformation and healing .
It's been wonderful knowing you , darlings !
(((hugs )))))
Night night
