Something to blog about...

It's March already??? Geesh!

Yep, I have something to blog about! Well, actually a couple things...

1st, for those who knew about it... my mom was diagnosed with Colon Cancer before Christmas... However, she had surgery on Jan 22nd & they removed a small section of her colon & some lymph nodes. The doctors said the tumor was very small!

A couple weeks later we received the results that the lymph nodes were NEGATIVE for cancer! WOO HOO!!

Even though there were a couple bumps with her recovery, she is doing quite well now!

The other news is, Hubby has been called back to work. WOO HOOOOOO!!!! He took his tool box today... & starts back tomorrow!!!

Hopefully we'll be able to get our health insurance back really soon! I'm hoping, since it's the same company he had insurance with, that we don't have to wait 90 days before it's reinstated.

He's also going to try to see if we can get dental this time around. Mainly because I have to have 1 root canal & 1 extraction done soon as possible.

Well, the root canal on the one tooth is already started... I couldn't wait any longer... it was the one tooth I broke a couple (maybe 3) years ago... & as the dentist put it... it's probably was "barking" at me with hot & cold stuff, because it was starting to get infected.

He put some medicine up in it & put a temporary coating on it... He said it might last 2 to 4 months... well, it's still "leaking" the medicine (a week later)... & so, when I called yesterday, they reiterated that it's only a temporary & that if gets infected again, we'd have to start all over. (Oh, they also said it the metal / bitter taste may not go away until they complete the root canal. Figures.)

Why isn't he pulling it? Because it's the last molar on that side. *sighs* ... I would put it off as long as I could (mainly because it's going to be a costly procedure... even if we get dental insurance!)... but having the taste of that medicine all the time is quite annoying.

The other tooth that is broken (on the opposite side) can be pulled. I don't know how long I can put off... because the dentist said if he hadn't known which tooth was giving me problems, he would have thought it was that one, because it has more missing than the other. I am going to try to wait as long as I can... because once the root canal is done, I'll have to get used to eating on the (right) side... Like I said it's been years!

So, that's the latest that's been going on here. I sure hope all is well with you & your families!

I'm going to mark this as no replies... because I know you all wish me the best, as I do for you as well.

If you want, you can send me a PM. *HUGS* to all & to all... Have a WONDERFUL day / evening! :)
