...it's a good day when"
That's not a page from our book, but maybe it should be. It's definitely a page from my life this week.
An apple a day did not keep the doctor away from me. Those sweet, crisp, juicy red orbs of delight - for which Johnny Appleseed was most grateful - hastened the fracturing of one of my large molars.
The root canal was a breeze - thank you my dear praying friend. It's the after-the-xylocaine-wore-off pain that's makes me want to throw the basket of apples into the pond - or at the person who penned that "apple a day" adage.
Johnny Appleseed and I do have this in common - the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need. Forget the apple seeds.
you have a root canal
and there's pain killers in the medicine cabinet.

OUCH!!!!! How I hate those things! I've only had one that was a breeze. And I think that doctor retired. So glad you have pain killers....praying for you!
*shiver* I had one last year and it was miserable...I'm so glad yours went okay. Good thing I'm always praying for you...we had you covered girl. :)
Love what you do here. Love your spirit.
Oh that picture is exquisite...so so sorry to hear about the root canal...I think I have one in the works as well...oh...please no...don't give up the apples...give them another chance:)
Have a blessed weekend...it is springtime here in Tennessee...it must be summer in Florida...enjoy
I'm right here with Tonia- I had a miserable root canal {and during a pregnancy too! it took over 3 hours and my husband really started to worry they had accidentally killed me and were disposing of my body! lol} AND I am always praying for you, dear friend.
I hope those painkillers do the trick until you {hopefully soon!} don't need them anymore!
For me- appointment on the 7th to have a muscle test and more thyroid testing... and I still need to catch up and see how your appointment went. Catch-up call soon?

Gorgeous photo. Hope you recovery quickly.
Thank you, Jennifer. I am better this afternoon...or at least I was until I ate a ham sandwich! Think I need to stick with the scrambled eggs and yogurt for another day or so. =)
Awww...thanks, Ro. There's no way I'm giving up apples...just not happy with them at the moment. It really is almost summer here in Florida. 80's every single day....but at least it cools downs into the 50's at night. Summer is not my friend. I don't even want to think about it.
(((Amy)))I've had more than one miserable root canal, so I must say I was surprised at how painless the actual procedure was (about two hours in the chair) this time. Over three hours would be awful...yikes!!! As painless as the procedure was, I've been in pain since. I thought I was much better earlier until I tried to eat a ham sandwich. Even chewing on the good side, it must have been too much work to chew the meat and now my jaw is killing me again. This, too, shall pass. I'm having more thyroid testing, too (saw an endocrinologist last week who thinks I'm hypothyroid). Saw my RA doc last week - same day I saw the ortho for a knee injection, too. RA doctor wants me on biologicals. He's giving me a month to think about it. =( Saw the eye doc today - I have the beginnings of cataracts (likely from the prednisone). I'm just about "doctored" out. =) We do need to have a catch-up call. XOX
You know, Tonia, the procedure itself wasn't too bad, but this pain afterwards has been miserable. Your prayers are so, so precious to me....thank you so much!!! Love what you do, too, beautiful friend.
For many years we had a dentist here that was sooooooo good - kind, gentle, compassionate. A couple of years ago he accepted a faculty position and turned his practice over to another dentist. I had no choice this week, but to go to the new dentist. The procedure itself wasn't bad at all, but I have pretty miserable since. I was actually doing better until I decided to eat a sandwich. Guess I'm not ready for that yet. Thank you so much for praying...I'm sure that this, too, will pass. It's a good reason to take a bath, a pain pill, and go to bed early. XO
Oh, I'm sorry about the root canal--though glad all went well. But just look at that gorgeous photo with that tiny droplet preparing to fall...
No matter what, it's a good day when...the lovely Laura stops by your blog and reminds you of all that is beautiful! =)
Here's hoping the pain is lessening hour by hour. Sending you a gentle hug.
Came across the lovely colourful bird button an Alli-oops blogsite, and Val Laird (Australian Christian designer of BOM). I am a Christian Blogger too!!! Anyway I wanted to know what sort of bird was on Alli-oops blog. It is simply stunning. My Christian walk did a 360 degrees about 25 years old then (me that is), after I asked Jesus into my life!!!!!
NO fun. I didn't have a root canal, but I did have 3 hours in the chair for the removal of an old gold crown that had allowed decay underneath. Discovered once in there that the tooth in front of that was affected as well - so left with TWO new crowns and a very, very numb face. A little sore today, but not too bad. Hope you're feeling lots better really soon!
