Surviving. . . on my way to Thriving!

I've spent the last week in quite the haze. Thankfully, there is now a light at the end of the tunnel as I was able to have my root canal finished yesterday. (A little update - I went last Tuesday to have an emergency root canal after my nerve had been left exposed on Monday. The endodentist was not able to complete it b/c there was too much inflammation and infection (gross, and OUCH!) I was on some hefty pain killers and antibiotics for the whole week just waiting until he could 'go back in'.) I am *so* thankful to say that I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I still can't eat solid food (unless I'm drugged. . . which I'm trying to wean myself off of them - I never take anything, so it's been quite the rude experience for my body!) so that's what I'm most excited about in the coming days. I *am* making a Thanksgiving meal tomorrow, and am hoping to partake of everything, but the mashed potatoes and gravy have always been my favorite, so I won't feel too bummed if I can't eat the rest. . . I still need another root canal on the tooth right behind the one I just did, and that will likely be next week, so the storm continues a bit, but the rest should be a lot smoother - hopefully we won't find any more nerves or infections! A **VERY** big thank you to all that helped out so much this week. Driving my kids, feeding my family, watching my girls, bringing or making me treats, calls and emails of support - I couldn't have gotten through it nearly as well without you - if I didn't know that I would have to see someone, I know I would have allowed myself to wallow in pjs all week long!! **THANK YOU**. . . Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone. XOXOXO.
