This tooth extraction is really messing me up. On Monday, I only had 978 Calories. On Tuesday, only 605 Calories. On Wednesday, 1043. (My RDI is 1700.) I've done basically NO Exercise, and have missed my Fiber goals all three days. Even with all these shortcomings, I have done much better than my pre-programming WANTED to do! I had a toncilectomy at age five, and got to eat ice cream, and pudding, and jello. Every time I was sick as a child, my Mom would give me an Almond Joy and a Pepsi. So far, I've been CRAVING a lot of things that I'm "normally" fine without. I REALLY have been wanting mashed potatoes and a Diet Coke, but today is my 31st day without DC, and I don't want to start over from Day Zero -- well, actually, I would probably go on a binge and get back up to drinking 2 liters per day for several months before I would be able to START abstaining again.
My tooth is still bothering me today, and when I woke up this morning, the end of one of the stitches had embedded itself into the roof of my mouth and I had to dig it out. I have to go back to the dentist TODAY to get the two temporary crowns yanked out, and have the two permanent crowns attached, PLUS get the Essix Retainer ground down to be able to fit in my mouth. Yesterday afternoon, after I talked to the dental assistant to set up the appointment, I collapsed in a pool of tears, DREADING the procedures, which I know will mean SEVERAL more shots in my mouth, and more trauma (both physically and emotionally).
I can't afford to have the "laughing gas" ($70 per 15 minutes, and it's a 1 hour 10 minute procedure); so, I called my twin friends and asked them if they would TAKE me to the dentist and bring me back home (so I can drug myself before going!) I'm going to take TWO of my anti-anxiety pills, TWO of my muscle relaxers, ONE high-powered pain pill. I hope all that will sedate me enough to not care what they're doing, and not be so disturbed by the pain. I USED to have a very HIGH tolerance for pain - two natural childbirths with no drugs whatsoever. Now, just THINKING about getting those painful shots in my mouth causes me to want to run for the hills!
Anyway, my apologies to my Daily Accountability 2019-#4 members for not being the shining example I been to previous groups. USUALLY, I meet all of the mini-goals every day! It is my prayer, even though I am very weak right now, that YOU would be strong! MAKE ME PROUD, folks!
