running at 86.9 percent

.

OK, the dentist wasn't much help yesterday. He is a dentist that does orthodontics. He did a great job on the girls teeth, they are all straight and pretty. I decided I wanted to get braces. He won't put them in on me. It seems I have some bone loss and he feels moving them wouldn't help. His suggestion? Pull my top four front teeth. Yeah right. I tell him I am not pulling my teeth, when I have too, yes, tomorrow, no. I tell him, pulling my teeth won't do anything for my bite (which is the reason I want them) "We'll work around them" Then work around them now. I will finish my deep cleanings then I am off to find a new dentist and orthodontist.

So, he looked at my enormously swollen gum and blamed it on the bone loss. It couldn't be an abscess, just the bone loss. He referred me to a periodontist. I used to work for one so I will go and see him.

Now, this morning, I wake up to what appears to be a huge blood blister inside my mouth, the gum between my front two teeth. It is also moved into my glands in my throat. I call them back, he only called in six pain pills and I had two left this morning. Shelly says no problem, gets the pharmacy number. Great, now at least I will be able to function.

I help a customer, check my voicemail, it's Shelly. "Sorry Kim, I just checked with Dr. Iwillpullyourteeth and he says you will need to see the periodontist to address this and he can prescribe you some medicine". Great, it seems since I didn't fall all over his idea of pulling my teeth and gush at the model he made I will have to find someone else to treat my mouth, which I had come to see him about yesterday. That seems fair.

I'll try to make it. I am looking at Mandys Disney pics (she just got back) and I close my mouth and try to swallow. Wrong. The blood blister pops, blood comes gushing out of my mouth and I rush to the bathroom. Freaked all out who saw it LOL. BUT, it feels MUCH better without the pressure!!!! Now it just feels like a pizza or grilled cheese burn. He did prescribe some antibiotics and I am still taking those. I cut the pain pills in half and have been rationing them.

We have seven openings at work, just our store. Everything seems a go for Mandy leaving June 30th, I will become the assistant, Clint will become a senior. We will need another senior, two sales reps and a host. Jeff is still in meltdown mode. He leaves for vacation next Wednesday for eleven days. Yeah, he is freaking out.

I was able to get four activations today, it was good. I would say I am running at 86.9 capacity to normal. It will be better when I am off the whole weekend.
