This is what we woke up to this morning. The cats were fighting last night and we were tired, so we were in bed by 9:30 (I think we're getting old...lol) and didn't hear the forecast.
The last forecast I heard was a 6 p.m. and they said a little DUSTING of snow.
The cats woke us up at 5:30 a.m. and we came out to check on the snow, because it looked orange outside. EVERYTHING WAS WHITE!! Needless to say, we didn't go back to bed. I watched a couple episodes of Tom and Jerry and Angel before making breakfast (baked French toast--and I didn't get a picture).
6 inches of snow later I'm hoping this isn't an indication of the rest of fall and winter.
Especially since I need to have another root canal on the 23rd of October.

Getting Nervous
Tomorrow I start Invisalign Express.
I'm starting to get nervous, because I know it's going to hurt. How much? I don't know. But, I know there will be some pain.
There shouldn't be any problems, because I already know my bottom teeth won't straighten with just the Express case. One of my teeth, which is turned almost 90 degrees won't be 100% straight. But, I'm ok with that, because it's on the bottom. And really, I didn't want to shell out another $2500 for just one tooth.
Yet, I'm nervous. Why?
I've had 3 root canals, countless fillings, teeth shaved down, numerous numbing shots...and let's not forget the time I went 6 months with an abscess in my mouth, because I thought it was just irritated tissue; mouth pain is not an issue with me.
I hope.
This would have been so much easier had I done this when I was a teenager. Then again, my top teeth didn't move until my twenties, after my wisdom teeth tried to come it. The wisdom teeth and tissue caused some movement and crowding.
GRRRRR. Neither one of my brothers had wisdom teeth.
I had three. And, they all came in at different times. That meant I spent 3 spring breaks/summer vacations for 3 years having a tooth extracted.
That sucked.
Just like it does now.

1 Year and Losing Teeth
So, today is our 1 year wedding anniversary. It feels weird to say that out loud. Not the one year part, but the wedding anniversary part. Wedding. I never thought I'd see the day.
Yesterday we spent hanging out together and then went to eat Chinese food, because that's what we ate the night we got engaged. I had my usual sweet and sour chicken and Jeff had that awful thing known as seafood: garlic shrimp. (Note: I hate seafood and it hates me...it's one of my food intolerances.) Anyway, we came home and watched the game and watched movies until around 2-2:30 a.m. While getting ready for bed I flossed, like usual...except that a large chunk of filling (and probably part of a tooth) popped out of my mouth.
Yippee! I blame this one on my dentist, because she jinxed me last week when she said that my summer was going to be free from dental problems. Although, I think she was overjoyed to learn I am going to do the Invisalign treatment, because that could help me floss better between some of the crowded areas in my mouth. This time however, flossing turned dangerous. I wonder if I can somehow counter this saying I shouldn't be flossing everynight?
Well, off to brush my teeth for the umpteenth time today so I don't promote tooth decay in my now unfilled tooth.

Frick TMI
I am now peeing out neon-yellow liquid, but it's a hell of a lot better than the stuff that was coming out before. I do in fact have a bacterial urinary tract infection. I wasn't surprised when my physician told me, but I was surprised to hear that I still had a little blood in the urine. I thought I had pushed enough liquid through me after I was in the debilitating pain on Saturday to get rid of the blood.
The antibiotic that I am taking has turned my urine bright, neon yellow, and it could go to orange in the next day or two. I also have the usual side-effects, like headaches, fever and the chills. Oh, and the backache is still there, but it's not as bad.
Ah, the third antibiotic in three months. How wonderful. *NOTE THE SARCASM*
On the bright side, I have two crowns on and don't have to go back to the dentist until December 22. Next up is a cleaning and new assessment, then it's at least 1 more cracked tooth/crown and a couple more fillings.
