I'm sorry I haven't blogged much lately. Last wek for 5 days I was in complete pain on my left side of my head. I went to the dentist Thursday and turns out my left bottom wisdom tooth had an infection. So the Dr tells me it MUST come out but they don't do extractions on post. So he prescribes me Erythromycin. Horrible stuff! Figures I would get the stomach pains reactions. It was bad! I felt like I was was satrving 24/7 and I am suppose to spend 7 days on this stuff?? No good! So Friday morning I called my offpost Dentist Dr. Giannoulopoulos and he said he could see me that day at 1400. yay! I have my DH reschedule his dental at the clinic for Monday so he can take me to mine. As you all know I don't drive offpost, the streets are terribly small and you can easily get lost. So we get there I fill out a few forms and he says they can take out both wisdom teeth on my left side! Yay! But with needle injections to numb, Yikes! I hate needles and then to say your going to put it in my mouth?? Anyway he was careful and the only one that hurt was the one in the roof of my mouth. I was all numbed up and 30 minutes later both teeth were out! Yay! And even when the numbness wore off I wasn't in any pain. He had to cut my lower gums and stitch them up but I am doing great now. And I was ordered to couch potato the entire weekend! Stitches come out Friday and then next week I am going in to have my wisdom teeth on my right side removed. I am so glad I found an awesome dentist because really I am terrified to go to the dentist. Oh since I got my teeth pulled I no longer have to be on antibiotics either, yay!
Anyway, today Destiny goes into the Klinikum to start the process of getting her insulin changed. Hopefully it goes well and I can leave the hospital during the daytime. DH works nights so I have to spend the nights there. Now I am a type of person if you wake me at night, I am up for several hours before falling back asleep and with a diabetic child in the hospital, they will be in every hour checking her sugar levels until her body has adjusted to the new insulin, see my problem now? If all goes good though we shouldn't be there more than 2 or 3 days. DH and I have to take classes to learn this new plan but it looks hopeful. I am taking a few stitching projects with me and an exchange I need to up too so i will be busy while I am there so I should have some pics for you when I return!

I'm glad you're feeling better!
Good luck with your girl...
I had issues like yours with the wisdom teeth last November. No fun at all. Glad to hear yours are better. I hope everything goes well with Destiny.
Goodness sakes! Hope that you are feeling better and that everything goes well with Destiny :)
Glad your mouth isn't hurting you, sorry to hear about the trouble with Destiny, childhood diabetes is a scary thing! Hope you all get her insulin worked out soon! Thanks for my squares by the way! I'm gonna try to make a biscornu! Wish me sucess!

I'm glad you're feeling better now. I had my wisdoms out a number of years ago and still remember how much misery I was in prior to. Hopefully you're all set now and won't need to deal with the dentist for quite a while. Good luck to Destiny in getting her insulin adjusted. I hope it goes smoothly and that she's back on track with keeping her sugar levels under control soon. Good luck to you too, hopefully you get some rest and aren't too exhausted by the end.
