I used to Love My Dentist..

But yesterday I had the worst dentist visit of my life. I had an abscessed tooth ( a molar) removed from the bottom of my jaw. My gums were frozen and I used laughing gas and everything was good in the world. He then proceeded to tear out my tooth and roots a little excruciating bit at a time. In all that I have suffered in this last 4 years this was the worst. I cried through the whole procedure and was so glad there were no children in his office at the time. The would have been scarred for life. I am now praying that I don't suffer any jaw problems as it is a side effect of the zometa I take. My dentist did call me last night to see if I was doing ok which I was by then. Maybe some day I will forgive him. I hope none of you have a dentist appointment tomorrow if you do, I apologize.
On a better note my rib pain is gone. I am wondering if it had anything to do with a new medication I had started 3 days before the pain started and have now quit taking.

Beautiful spring day!!

I decide to catch some Vit D on this fantasic spring day. It was 75 . I only lasted a few minutes the first time when I went out at 2pm . I had to get out of the sun because my skin felt like it was burning. I lasted a little longer this second time and actually fell asleep allowing my sneeky husband to catch a few snapshots. It isn't easy staying this shade of porcelain white. : )

I have been having some pain in my left rib area for the last couple of weeks. I went and had x-rays taken on Thursday and I haven't heard the results yet. Will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter day. Started out with going to the Easter service at church. After church we went to Steve's house for an early Easter dinner.

We had a great visit with our family until Steve had to go to work. We then went to Sylvia's where we visited with Sylvia, Shaun and Jenny and their families. All the kids are getting so grown up as you can see in this photo.

Doctors visit

My labs continue to remain in the normal range meaning my bone marrow is functioning and not bogged down with excess plasma cells. I will follow up with Dr Goldman in 2 months. I now have been off all myeloma meds for 9 months.
Praise God!
