Crazy past few days.
Thank you to Sy, Mark, and Synn for your help, it means a lot to me.
Thursday Ember and I spent the afternoon talking dog geekery and other
things with a friend. Friday I was able to see my dentist and get
antibiotics and Vicoprofen. Since her building is under construction,
she referred me to an oral surgeon, who I will see Monday. Hopefully
they can do the needed work on site, but there is a chance they may have
to send me to one of the local hospitals, which means it might be more
expensive than originally anticipated. Not looking forward to it.
Antibiotics and pain killers are helping, but make some of my autonomic
symptoms worse.
We finally got snow last night. We also got
rear-ended when we went out for a quick shopping run, idiot cut into our
lane and we slowed down so they wouldn't hit us, and the woman behind
us ran into us. Mike's car has scuffed paint on the back, but nothing
else visibly wrong. We're still going to have it looked at to be safe.
Mike, Ember, and I are fine for the most part. He was sore last night
from where the seatbelt jerked. I ended up somehow biting down/clenching
my jaw with my bad teeth when it happened, and that hurt a ton. I have
some stiffness in my neck and shoulders, but hard to say if it's related
to that or not. We were both leaning forward in our seats trying to see
the lines on the road through snow and watch the person who was cutting
us off. Thankfully we were not going very fast, we'd been at a red
light and just started to move when it turned green, when it happened.
Today
I spent the day at the gallery helping a troupe of girl scouts who had
come in to glaze some ceramics they made in the studio. Afterwards there
was a nice artist's reception for the Fabrication's Nine art exhibit
I'm participating in. I met a lot of really nice local artists, saw lots
of really neat art, and there was a lot of good talk and good company. I
wasn't sure I'd make the entire day when the pain kept acting up, but
thanks to the Vicoprofen I made it! Ember was amazing. She lay quietly
watching, occasionally wagging, the whole time the 30 or so girls sat
around glazing ceramics. She was equally well behaved during the art
exhibit. Many people were curious about her, and we answered many
questions. Lots of compliments were offered. Overall it was a very nice
day.
