Sorry I’ve been MIA for a few days. I’ve had “stuff” come up.
First and most important, we heard back from the vet that Marty’s test was “inconclusive.”
Sooooo….we’re set up for surgery on Aug 31 – they’ll remove the lump and then biopsy it.
In the meantime we observe it.
I feel so like “Really? Is that all we can do?”
PATIENCE.
Second, I had to have an unexpected “root canal retreatment” yesterday.
Oh boy was that fun – NOT!
It started with a minor dull toothache on Tuesday.
I thought, oh I can just ignore this. 
And then it got worse and my AWESOME DENTIST Dr. Clark was able to fit me in yesterday. He then sent me to the Endodontist, Dr. Suh, who – miraculously – was also able to see me yesterday.
The “retreatment” took an HOUR! That’s one solid hour with my mouth wide open while he worked on completely removing an old root canal, cleaning it out, and then putting it all back together. UGH! Then on the way home the numbness started to wear off and I experienced the worse pain I’ve felt maybe ever. Luckily I have some *help* for relieving the pain LOL. OH and now I need to get a new crown too!
BTW I actually FLOSS every day.
Oh AND I had a teeny little car accident on Tuesday to top it all off. It’s nothing – just a scratch, that happened as I was at Matchless getting an estimate for some body damage my car has from a different teeny little car accident! Can you imagine – getting into a mishap at the auto body shop?!
So needless to say it’s been a NUTTY WEEK.
RIT and I ran yesterday:
- walk 5 minutes
- run 2 minutes / walk 1 minute for 24 minutes (8 sets total)
- walk 5 minutes
It was super humid outside but we persevered!
I’m grateful for:
- my dentist and endodontist who both got me in immediately when I really need it
- the fact that I have access to great health care
- pain killers – I usually avoid taking meds but I’m so glad to have them right now!
- RIT for really giving it her all
What are you grateful for?
PS I’ve been making changes to my diet – will update on that later

Soo glad to hear you’re doing ok after all that! I’m saying puppy prayers for Marty and hoping all goes well with the surgery. It’s frustrating when you’re pets are sick and you can’t do anything immediately to fix it – I’m right there with you!
Thinking of you XXOO
