It's been one hell of a year. And it's about to get worse.
After spending most of the summer flat on my back [and pulling it again today], losing two people I loved and dealing with a lot of health issues, I'm preparing to have my teeth removed.
This isn't a choice, it's a necessity. I've always had weak enamel, something the Dentists could do nothing about, save for rebuilding the teeth over and over. Thanks to extremely bad genetics, my psoriasis, arthritis and crappy immune system all round and the medications I need for them, well they've pretty well destroyed my teeth.
Since Christmas I've been dealing with teeth crumbling, shattering or breaking off completely, which is why as you might notice, I tend not to smile in my photos [especially the cons of late].
Right now the Doc says I have 5 abscesses on the go, with a 6th brewing - okay that was last week. It's probably already started. All that poison in my system has wreaked havoc, infections, flare ups, ulcer problems, migraines, so on and so on... bored yet?
My emotions have been a royal mess to top it off. I *hate* dentists, I've suffered through too much work with them and I get hysterical at the thought of even going for x-rays, much less having a cavity filled.
Well, my husband has made the appointment for me to have the impressions made for my dentures. I don't want to know when until the last moment, although he did admit yesterday that it was then or today. Once the impressions are made, I'll go for the extractions - knocked out completely by IV anaesthetic. This is done so that the 'teeth' are ready to go as soon as they're pulled [weird huh]. Then I have to learn how to eat again - don't ask...
So if you've wondered why my updates have trickled off, or will moreso in the coming weeks - you'll know why. And I *hope* you'll understand.
I want to be healthy again, or better than I have been. I want this over before the new season starts, which could be as early at the 28th September for me. Most of all, I just want to get this behind me...
I want to be able to smile again.
