Wisdom Remains after Teeth Extracted

March blew in like a Lion and we received another few inches of snow.  Today in Toledo it was nearly 50 degrees. I didn't even need my winter coat!  Jeff reported to me this afternoon that is was warmer in Greenville too.  He was snow tubing with the youth group today and said while the sun was out, it slowed down the slope.  It was nice to enjoy the sun and warmer temperatures.

Jeff and I attended a theological seminar on the first with several other church members and found it interesting and very pertinent in these times.  My work is going better and although I applied to work a night position in the department I am wondering if 12 hours might just be too much.  Perhaps just sticking to where I am is the best choice.  After all I truly believe that God gave me this position.

Thursday night after work I started my current journey to Toledo. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought, but I did have to stop twice for about 30 minutes to keep my hip from hurting. So one stop at Steak n Shake for dinner and another at Mary's house for a nice visit with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies!  Four and a half hours after work I was finally at Sarah's house and prepared for the big adventure Friday.....

Friday we were off to the oral surgeon's office. Dr Sydlowski and his nurse were very nice and took time to explain everything and answer all our questions.  After all, this was the first time we met them.  Everything went well; they gave us two of her wisdom teeth to take home.  Neither one of us have looked at them yet.    She was a little crazy afterward and looked pretty glazed over and seeing double.  The nurse said that happens to everyone.  Time to go home so we were on our way by 2pm. She slept on and off all day, taking her pain medicine, keeping gauze in her mouth and ice on her cheeks.  Ate some pudding. 

Today I increased her diet to scrambled eggs.Maybe we will try mashed potatoes or noodles with some chopped up chicken for dinner. We have plenty of ice cream and yogurt.   I am so happy to be with her, since she really didn’t have anyone to take help her at home and get her started on her recovery. We are watching sports and  movies, playing games and just enjoy having each other's company.  I am heading to wal-mart after the game to buy some more food and hit the red box too. She is doing much better today.  Not as much pain, no bleeding and much more awake.

Enjoy your day and remember to Spring Forward!
