August Has Been Rough
Let's start small and work our way up. Upon visiting the dentist at the begining of the month, I was informed that I must be clenching my jaw as I slept because I am exerting enough pressure to crack my teeth. Cracking teeth at 29. Great. He offeres me a treatment option -- a dental night guard. How sexy. I guess that's better than cracking my teeth.
Then I went in for a scheduled colonoscopy (I will spare you the gorrey details.) The prep was extremely disgusting, don't let Katie Couric try to convince you otherwise. Other than the prep, the proceedure went well. I will need to have another test in a year and probably every few years for the rest of my life. So I have that torture to look forward too.
The same day I endured the colonoscopy I had a horrible gallstone attack! Those paying attention at home will remember that I had kidney stones a few years back that were amazingly painful. The gallstones were less bad, but it still meant a trip with the emergency room (two trips to the hospital in one day!) and a fair amount of pain. How many different kinds of stones can one person have? Wait, don't anwer that.
In a couple weeks I have a consultation with a surgeon to discuss removing the offending gallbladder. Yippee, surgery!
But I am not the only one dealing with health fun this month. My blessed sister-in-law has her second carpal tunnel surgery last week. And in vomitting cat news, our poor Josie is still a shedding allergy ridden mess, just itchy as all get out.
Just when I thought the worst this that could happen to me this month was turning 30...
