This and That ...

 

What's new? Well, only a couple of things actually. Last Tuesday I had to have oral surgery as my last tooth on my top right-hand side had to be pulled. Long story short, the oral surgeon who had done my root canal had taken an x-ray before she began and had noticed that my last tooth aside of the root canal tooth had some decay and, fortunately, she sent the x-ray to my dentist. My dentist advised me to have the bad tooth pulled before it compromises my root canal work. He was right. The oral surgeon (whom I have always gone to over the years and not actually the same one who performed my root canal) extracted the bad tooth on Tuesday and added, "That was a good call. You have really good doctors. Trust me, you won't miss that tooth, it had a very bad infection in it!"

So much for long story short, but my oral surgeon is absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I had a local, felt no pain at all either during or after the procedure. And, since I had taken a vacation day anyway and had some of the afternoon left, I stopped off at the local mall on the way home and picked up this little treasure ...

I have it hanging up on the bathroom wall near the doorway. I also bought a nice long, crocheted dress which was on sale as well ... very comfortable.

And lastly, our vet had to up the dosage on our cat Leo's medication as it was way too low to be of any use. He had been prescribed amitripyline last month by our vet for his stress and aggression issues. He was only getting a 1/2 pill per day, with absolutely no improvement what-so-ever. I spoke to Dr. Heather and she upped it to a 1/2 pill in the AM and a whole one before bedtime. So far, it has helped a great deal. Leo is much happier, and, so is the rest of the family!
