I have had the great fortune of having some type of dental problem for almost the past three, four weeks. And when I say dental problems I mean excruciating pain whenever I would chew on my right side. I found myself using the same breathing method to deal with the pain as when I was in labor haha. Except I have to venture and say that this pain was worse to me then going through labor and delivery, and I did that without an epidural. Finally got a dentist appointment and they couldn't find anything. As in nada. They did x-rays, a cold test, and had me chew some hot tamales candies lol. The pain magically disappeared and since he couldn't find anything on the x-ray he was at a loss as to what it could be. I couldn't believe it. I was so upset about it I almost starting bawling in the dentist chair. Did I mention that my wisdom teeth are coming in too? yeah so basically I didn't want to eat anything at all. It was awful. Anyway, he told us to leave and go eat and do what we were going to do for the day and if it started hurting again to come right back to the office. Well, we went to lunch and the first bite that I took of my chicken I started crying. So back to the dentist we went. He told us that it sounded like a cracked tooth and was taking the best guess as to which one it was. He let us know that he rarely guessed wrong but it was up to us to decide what to do. Now, I have gone to this dentist since I was twelve so I trusted him. If it had been any other person saying that to me I would have really hesitated about it but I was in so much pain that we decided to trust his instincts and let him do a root canal. B stayed in the room with me and watched the whole thing. I asked B afterwards about how he did the shots to numb my gum and he said the dentist took something that looked like a steel vial with a trigger and small needle at the end of it and would basically go in and out all over my gum. I never looked when he was doing it and I am SO glad I didn't. Makes me feel weird thinking about it. I think it took us about thirty minutes or so and we were out of the office and ran to the grocery before we picked S up from my mom's. B thought it was cute that I had a lisp from all of the numbing medicine. I couldn't feel the whole right side of my face practically and my lower lip felt fat.
So, before we headed into the store we were going over our shopping list, and out of habit, I pulled my chap stick out of my purse and started putting it on. I'm listening to what he's saying and suddenly I realize something. I stop him and ask, "Hey, honey is this my lip I'm swiping my chap stick on?" he looks over and busts out laughing. Turns out I was applying it all over my chin. That's how numb my face was. We got a good laugh about it though haha.
By the time we got to my parent's house with my prescription that we picked up from the pharmacy the anesthesia had worn off and I was in serious pain. So I popped one of pills and fell asleep in my little sister's bed. B had to haul my butt home lol. But it seems to have worked having the root canal because I am not having the same pain anymore. Just a little discomfort with hot stuff . Hopefully when I get my crown on it will fix that.
Now I know that you really wanted to know all of that boring stuff about my dentist appointment lol but that was just the beginning of my week of pain.
We took a legit Crossfit class at the Crossfit gym and it KILLED me. Like seriously. It took them three hours to explain all the basics of Crossfit and show us the proper technique for everything. But get this. The workout part was just 8 minutes long, and I thought I was dying. I am so not even anywhere near my level of fitness that I want to be. Right now my shoulders and arms are so sore I can barely lift them above my head, and it was really uncomfortable picking S up today. I mean we had been doing some of the stuff at home but dang this was intense. It was a husband and wife team and they were incredibly nice and patient but they meant business and my butt got whooped haha!
I did some of these:
Except mine was only 53 pounds not nearly that heavy! lol oh yeah and found out why ladies who lift weights like that wear those tall socks: to keep the skin on their legs intact. See how tight the weight bar is against her skin? The bar is never to leave contact with your legs so basically you get rubbed raw if you don't wear them. Just a little fact :p
Anyway, we have a week free at the gym since we took their fundamentals class so I'll be going three more times this week and honestly I'm a little nervous. I don't like being sore lol. But I will say when I was taking the class, even though it was hard they were really encouraging me and when I would get something right they would cheer me on. It really gave me more confidence than I've ever had doing a workout. I think it will be a good thing. I'll let you know how I feel after tomorrow and a couple more days of it though.... if I survive ;)
