This is a week off. Yay! We took out our ancient air conditioner and still have to patch the hole inside the house. We did do the outside though. We want another mini-split for the rest of the house.
Our fur baby has been sick! We are not sure how he got it but he got an infection in his lung. I had to somehow collect his pee. That was really hard to do but I did it. They wanted to check for Blastomycosis which we hadn’t heard of before. It’s an infection that affects the lungs and then goes to the brain. Fatal. Was at first worried about that but he didn’t have any of the symptoms. I was worried because he was coughing what sounded like an Asthma cough. They did take a chest x-ray and found a little infection.
We did find out that he doesn’t have Blastomycosis which YAY! He is taking Doxycycline for his infection and has been getting better. Well, I should say a lot better. He has been his normal self again. He has been taking his meds for a little over a week. We are so happy our Tex is feeling better.
What a last week and weekend! So we have come to a point of do we put more money into our truck or get a new to us truck. I hate looking at vehicles to buy. I hate going to someone else’s house and looking at the vehicle. I don’t know I hate all of it. Anyways I will stop complaining. lol! Decided to go and look at other trucks and sell ours. We have a 2003 Dodge Ram. Jeff really wanted a truck that had no salt on it. Since we live in WI, it gets salty out here in the winter. Rust-oh-rama which our Ram doesn’t have a lot of rust. Mostly on the corner of the door. But anyway….he looked at one in IL. And I liked that one but wasn’t sure. Then he found one in Iowa. UGH IOWA! I didn’t want to drive to Iowa.
After considering the Iowa truck. Jeff found out he couldn’t work on that truck as it would be hard to do. Don’t ask what kind of truck it was, I can’t remember. There were so many trucks he looked at. Hahaha!
There was a Truck in MI that he liked. Jeff said he wanted a truck an old man owns because they take care of vehicles which is so true! This truck was about three hour’s drive from our home. We decided to go look at a 2009 Chevy Silverado. Jeff said he has never owned a Chevy. This Chevy was owned by an old man. LOL! We went there and he kept that truck in a barn under blankets. He told us he only put 10,000 miles on it and would never drive it in the winter. He took really good care of this truck and he was the second owner.
This guy was named Tom and he was super nice! He loved to talk too which is fine by us. Also had a cute black lab who was three. He was so cool. We took the truck on a drive and I was thinking this is the one. We bought the truck and drove back to WI.
Then on Saturday got a good deal off of FB Marketplace for new tire rims. Had to drive to Appleton which is a bit further away from us to go and get them. So many hours in the car.
I did it! I did a Conqueror virtual race of 20 miles. I have to say I will do more races these medals are super awesome!
I finally got it done! My owl wreath turned out awesome. I didn’t follow the picture. I arranged it how I wanted it.
Sunday was Mother’s Day. I have to admit I wasn’t really looking forward to it even though I made an extra effort this year. Jeff and I went to Aldi’s and bought all the ladies’ tulips. They were five dollars can’t go wrong with that. Jeff also made chicken and brats for the main dish which was yum!
Kim came can you believe it?! She actually was nice on Sunday. That’s strange. Dad said she is trying to make up for what happened last year. Took her long enough for her to be nice to anyone really. Of course, they left early which was fine with the rest of us.
I stayed and slept over. I hung out with my parents all day on Monday. It was cool to do so. They can be silly. Mom and I went to discount stores all over Green Bay. That was fun. Then later Jeff came and we all went out to eat. They were glad that I wanted to hang out with them. My dad said it many times while I was there. That makes me happy.
So much PAIN! Sunday I was in pain then Monday I was in more pain, Tuesday I was crying I was in so much pain! I had a huge toothache like I have never had! That is saying something to me. I couldn’t do anything on Tuesday because was in so much pain! No over-the-counter pills worked. My jaw was in the most pain. My head felt like it was in a vice! The biggest headache I have had in a long time. Even my eyes and nose hurt.
Thankfully the dentist could see me on Tuesday. When I got there I told him how I haven’t slept in 2 days and I am in the worst pain ever! He was so nice about it too. I begged him please, please take it out and he was like okay. He had some other patients that day he had to take care of first. So after he saw me, Jeff and I bumped around Green Bay for about an hour then I went back. He asked if I wanted to see him on Friday and I take pain pills and antibiotics. I told him no. Please I need to not be in this amount of pain. So that’s why I came back.
When I came back I asked if I could see the tooth he is about to pull. He was like sure! You can even have it. I was surprised by that answer. Because usually I do get to keep it but last time in 2020 the last dentist said I couldn’t even have it or see it because it was hazardous material. Which I didn’t understand because it was just in my mouth. Be warned I am going to post my tooth. lol! I think it’s cool to see. Of course, I won’t keep it. I like to look at it and then throw it away. I told Jeff damn I should have kept them all and made a bracelet. I was joking of course! ROFL!
I find it fascinating to see the tooth. This one had a root canal in it. I was wondering if it would break and it didn’t so that was good. This is also the last root canal tooth in my mouth.
He asked after the tooth was pulled if I wanted to be numb for longer so if I wanted to go sleep it wouldn’t hurt and I would have been taking some over-the-counter meds to help with the swelling. I said yes and now I wish I said no. Instead of being numb for longer, the only thing that was numb for a long time was my lips. My tongue and jaw became un-numb at first. It was a strange feeling.
My dentist is a rockstar! I thought that I could get an implant this year but found out I couldn’t even though I had already started the process. I was stuck paying for what I had done out of pocket. Which was doable with our flex spend we get from insurance every year. But still sucked though.
He told me that he felt bad. That if he would have known he wouldn’t have pushed it to get it done. I told him it was my fault and I should have checked further with insurance. Because my partial counts and taking care of the problem. He said still he felt bad about it and that he was going to give me a good faith discount. I only had to pay half of what I owed! LIKE DAMN MY DENTIST IS A ROCKSTAR! I have never had that in a dentist before.
If anyone who lives in WI and needs a dentist. Check out Titletown dental in Green Bay. They are amazing people. The dentist is a rockstar!
