Dental fun, car update, & another trip to Stanford

  • Word up y'all. It's Friday! Really early on a Friday morning, technically. I'm currently eating a carrot (very carefully on the right side of my mouth) and drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. How thrilling. The reason for my carrot eating precaution is because I got two molars drilled, filled and temporarily crowned yesterday morning. Once the Novocaine wore off, that whole side of my mouth was swollen and kinda hurt. Not as much pain as a toothache, but definitely noticeable.
  • Let's see what else is new? Got the estimate for my car's damage, it's almost $3 grand. Luckily the other lady's insurance is covering the whole thing. I'm probably bringing my car into the shop on Monday morning, I need to call the place and confirm about that. They're paying for a rental car too. I know I need to send you some pics, Cindy. I've just been kinda busy this week so I barely have turned on my laptop at all.
  • Dad's shunt is acting up again. I need to take him to Stanford way early this morning to get a CT scan then he has an appt with his neurosurgeon later on. I'm hoping he can just have it adjusted, but if he needs it replaced then we'll do what has to be done. Ugh. If any of y'all want to send prayers his way, it would be much appreciated.
  • That's about it. This weekend I'm planning on hanging out at Kimmie's in Lodi. That is, if my dad doesn't get stuck in the hospital or something. As far as I know I'm going, though. We'll just play it by ear.
