have been there at least over 5 times already, within a 6 month period. Not all because of cavities, but issues with my gum having abscesses, and in both places where I've put in crowns. One of my royally crowned Molar tooth was already pulled 7 weeks ago. Since then, I have been sick, another abscess popped up on the other side of my mouth. Thinking that it would go away, I just left it. Well, 7 weeks later, still coughing and hacking, my internal medicine doctor tells me to go see my dentist again, because he needs to treat me for the abscess, and that it may be prohibiting me from getting better.So, last week, I went in, they checked my abscess, and doc says I need to come back for a root canal. And that's what I did TODAY. I posted on Facebook right before I went into the chair, requesting for prayers, for a steady hand doctor, and for quick healing, and to calm my heart. Praise God, because the
prayers truly worked. After the procedure, I was numb, but I was still able to eat. After the numbing wore off, my jaw was sensitive, but not painful. Thank You, Lord! See.... no deed is TOO SMALL or TOO BIG for Our God!! Just lift it up to HIM!!!Next week, I need to go back for them to do a permanent cover on my tooth that they worked on today, as well as take care of the cavity on tooth #20. I want to make my doctor and his assistants a couple of goodies, but do you think candy is appropriate to give a dentist and his staff? LOL... please help me think about this, is there anyone with suggestions that they might wanna offer me? Everything so yummy could be "not wanted" in that office, huh? LOL...
Anyways, on to my card. I think I've been talking WAY too much in this post. This card was created using Stampin' Up! Cupcake stamp set. DSP and cardstocks are also from Stampin' Up!. Ribbon and embossing folder are from my personal stash. I created this card for my SIL in WA, who celebrated her birthday in September.
BTW - I signed up for a Stampin' Up! website, so if you would like to order SU! products you can do so my clicking here. Be sure that my name "Jen Young" is at the top right hand corner of the page prior to shopping. I also created a Stampin' Up! to document my journey into Stampin' Up!-ville.

ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! So happy to hear your dental experience went well. I hear ya about "living" at the Dentist as I've been 3 times in the last 2 months and have to go again next month. My root canal experience wasn't as positive as they hit the "lingual" nerve and now part of my tongue is numb. I have a dull burning/buzzing feeling on that portion of my tongue. It may or may not go away. It's not painful but super annoying.
ReplyDeletePraise God for helping you be okay after your root canal today. Indeed there is nothing too big for God to take care of. Going to the dentist is never fun. I have my procedure at the dentist a week from tomorrow. :( Please pray for me! Very cute card for your SIL. Love the names of the two new members in your household.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, your dental experiences give me the creeps. I'm not good at the dentist. I always remember the hilarious episode on Cheers when Karla had to go to the dentist and she was afraid. When she came back into the bar from her appointment, she said there was no pain. She said she made sure of that by grabbing the dentist by his private parts, looked at him and said "We aren't going to hurt each other are we?" LOL I don't know why I remember that so well. As far as an idea for your dentist, there are two super cute stamps from House Mouse that would be perfect to color and frame for them. Here are the links so you can see them:

I actually purchased these to make thank you cards for my Mom to give to her dentist and hygienist. If you'd like, I'd be glad to stamp some for you and send them. Just let me know! But I'm telling you, they would look adorable in frames. Best, Curt
