OT wish me luck

Hey there my sweets,  I need prayers,,,,,,Things have been so hectic here lately wowee..... I posted the other day about a toothache and I wwent in and need a root canal done on thurs he did prescribe me more vicodin  oh how I feel so good.  My dad called the other night and my uncle is in the hospital he has tumers in his tummy, esophagus,not sure how to spell that, and lungs.  There thinking he has the same cancer he had in 1983-84 he fought for 2 years and won.  Please pray for him to be okay I can't lose him now...... I have gained 3.5 pounds this week and it sucks I eat eat eat and I hate it.  I am so stressed out.  I get re-licensed today for day care, trying to cope with my major tootheache, my uncle and evrything else.  It is so easy for me to get off track with my eating........ Where is coffee this weekend?  I sure do miss you guys and I need to be on here more than what I am (OH  LUCKY YOU)   Why does life have to be so unfair...... Please say an extra prayer for my uncle...... Thanks so much guys........ Hugs Marsha

DON'T HAVE THAT ROOT CANAL TOTALLY DONE UNTIL YOU GET ON ANTIBIOTICS.  Novacaine does not work when there is an infection in the root.  They should only pierce the canal to allow drainage and then put you on antibiotics for 10 days -- then do the root canal because the infection will be cleared up and the novacaine will work.  I have had LOTS of these done and this is the path I always demand.  Several others I know say how horrible root canals are -- only because the infection wasn't cleared and the novacaine won't work.  Once the infection gone, they said it was a breeze -- no more than a tooth filling. Sorry about your uncle.  Will keep him in my prayers.   A suggestion for the continually eating -- it is perfect fruit time -- eat fruit -- better than the bad junk.  During my taxes busy season, I ate watermelon continually!!!!  I love watermelon so when I get stressed, I eat that -- counts for fluids too.  No calories or fat -- carbs but not the bad ones!!!  How can fruit be bad for you? Good luck with the root canal but I'd reschedule for 10 days from now.  And once the antibiotics kick in, the pain goes away too -- so you can wait to have it done. XXOO

Thanks hun for  the info.... I will talk to him about that.  It sure does suck I don't like to take the meds when i have kids here so I do get kinda cranky at times.  I have watermellon in the fridge so i will chow on that when i feel the need to eat.  Thank you so much sweetie for everything.......hope to see ya soon.  Are you gonna be at coffee this weekend?

Yep -- in Caribou at Eagan Byerly's at 8:30....Hope to see you there!!! XXOO

Prayers for your Uncle hun- Cancer is a horrible thing, I pray he will fight and beat it again!  Also prayers for you- take care of yourself hun!

Hugs! 

Thank you sweetie........

Marsha honey you know you are always in my prayers. I will start saying extra prayers for your uncle as well. Let me know if you are going to coffee this Saturday and where. I just might make the drive again just to see you!! I hope you can tackle the munchies. Fruit is a good way to go. How about some nuts...almonds are good. Gives you the crunch and the salty taste too. I eat the smokehouse ones....love the flavor. Beef jerky is good too. Takes a long time to chew and is better for you then many other things. I am sorry you are so stressed out. I truely hope things improve for you really soon. Thanks for the phone call last week......you made my day sweetie!!! Love and hugs.....connie d

Marsha, You have my prayers........Hang in there.....I agree with Barb, ea****ermelon or some kind of fruit or veggie, at least thier healthy. Kelly

Thanks sweets........
