Once upon a time… say sometime in 2006 or 2007, I had a filling in one of my teeth that was slowly falling out. Eventually, there was no filling left and it became very, very painful but we didn’t have the insurance or money to get it looked at. The pain eventually subsided and I just went on. For years and years and years. Random tooth pain here and there & every once in a while the gums around that area would swell up. Well, when my sinuses were irritated from cleaning my neighbor’s house the other day… BOOM my gums around that area really swelled up and then the left side of my face did too. I think a lot of my health problems have prob been connected to the untreated tooth infection. Brad’s insurance doesn’t kick in until August. UGH.

Brad woke me up at 9AM this morning and I woke up… went back to sleep till 10AM and finally got up, fiddled online then laid down on the couch and slept really late, hah. My face was still swollen and so I took some asprin and generic pain reliever. I brushed, rinsed with Listerine, and also swished with warm salt water. All of that combined seemed to calm down the swelling a little but you can still see the swelling on my face. I cleaned house and Katie watched cartoons, while Brad took a little nap on the couch. Eventually, Katie went to Mom’s and we headed out to the gym. I wasn’t in “pain” but just felt out of it and not the best… but I wanted to do *something*. Summary >>>

elliptical, 25 minutes, 2 miles, 240 calories
treadmill, fast walk, 35 minutes, 1.86 miles, 153 calories

I didn’t want to push myself… nor did I feel like I needed to push myself in my situation. That’s alright, atleast I was there and made the best effort I could, instead of not at all. I got my fav smoothie after we were done then we headed out to Wal-Mart then Microcenter and came back to get Katie and hang out with my Mom for a bit. She might be keeping Katie more during the week!!! Mom gave me some antibiotics that I can take for my tooth, so I started those tonight. We’ll see how that does… but I’m ready for August to get my teeth taken care of. When I went to the dentist in 2010, they estimated that my total cost would be over 5k to get it alllllllllllll done. I atleast wanna get the worst stuff fixed, of course.

Anyway, time to hang out with my sexy man, get a shower, get ready for to teach the kiddos at church tomorrow, and just enjoy the rest of the night!!!
