This has been a good challenge for me so far. Although I will admit I have gone to bed a couple times forgetting to post, I have consciously thinking of "what makes me happy today?" Today was one of my tougher days. I've been having some pain in my mouth/jaw/sinus this week, and wasn't sure if it was a sinus infection, or something going on with my teeth, so first I tried to self-diagnose and medicate with some sudafed and ibuprofin. (After determining, ok although jaw pain is a symptom, I am most likely NOT having a heart attack... silly webMD) Long story short- you probably don't need my medical history of the week- no infections to speak of, courtesy of seeing my dr. and my dentist! so Yay!
Ok, so throughout today, while trying to combat this pain and still teach my students, I am thinking "ok, what is good about today?" I could easily wallow in self pity, but I promised myself I wouldn't do that! So here it is, the thing I am thankful for today... my dentist! Back in the fall I finally (long overdue) found a new dentist near home. Went in for some stuff, seemed pleasant enough. Today, I call in around my lunch time and they fit me in immediately! I walk in the door, and before I can even take my coat off, they bring be back, get me situated and start taking xrays and getting organized. I was in and out in quicker than I could even tell my principal I was on my to school, with good news and no huge co pay or outrageous fees!! How many other appointments have you been to like that?
