Just a little update

Well gee... the days are slowly ticking by and I'm still feeling rather calm and at peace with the world. I had a little shop on the weekend with my advanced birthday pressie cash (thank you Aunty Pam & Uncle Trev, Carol & Don) and bought some rather large (size 18!) tops to wear post-surgery. Everyone I've spoken to who has "been there and done that already" suggested button up tops would be easier than T-shirts (no lifting arms above the head) - although I'm still at a bit of a loss at how one puts both arms through the sleeves of a button-up top and pulls them on without some kind of contortions 
I guess I'll figure it out..! Maybe I can put them on backwards and just wear them open at the back like a hospital gown 
ooh-la-la!
I had my dental appointment yesterday and that went pretty well. The sensitive teeth which I thought may have had cavities were actually a result of me being far to vigorous when brushing (I do like to be throrough with my cleaning!). Apparently a couple of them sit slightly forward, so when I brush they kind of get hammered. Anyway, the lovely dentist gave me some Tooth Mousse to apply regularly which helps rebuild the calcium and enamal of the tooth (and keeps them looking like I just stepped out of a salon 
). Hopefully things will be much happier in a couple of weeks. There was one tooth she thought may have the beginnings of a cavity... there was a dark patch on the x-ray, but she also thought it could be my sinus. She took it down to a whatever-you-call-it-root-canal specialist today for him to have a look at, and while he also thought it was probably sinus, they want me to go in for a spanky full-face x-ray next week - just to be on the safe side. Oh for joy. No wonder I don't have any brain cells left!
I got a free toothbrush though! (woo-hoo!)
Otherwise I've been trying to take things fairly easy so I don't run myself down and leave myself susceptible to becoming sick.... although the weekend just gone was pretty full on! We had friends visiting from interstate and indulged in WAAAAYYYYYY too much good food, wine and frivolity. Perhaps not the most relaxing weekend - but heaps of fun!!.... and at least I know the trip to the chocolate/confectionary factory isn't to blame for my tetchy teeth
Still - it's always a such pleasure to catch up with good friends 
and I have another one coming to visit soon.....!
