On Wednesday, I returned to the dentist for a tooth extraction.
I was nervous and took my time going in, pausing like the day before to take pictures of the impressive flower gardens at the hospital.
The procedure took about an hour. I was so nervous when I sat in the chair and saw some of the tools. But all the worrying was a waste of time. The oral surgeon was calm and did a great job. After injecting the local anesthetic, she said, "that was the worst part done."
And she was right. After that, I really couldn't feel any pain. Only slight pressure where they were working. It was a strange feeling hearing them saw, crack, and yank out this back molar with deep roots. And then the surgeon said, "you did good. Much braver than I thought." 😂
So lesson learned, I spent a day worrying about something that I couldn't do anything about and turned out to be not the worst thing ever.
After the extraction, I picked my daughter up from school. She laughed at the way I talked with half my mouth numb.
The doctor said I should take it easy for a day, so I didn't go for a walk or exercise in the evening. I have to take some painkillers and antibiotics after every meal, and I just felt drained. By the end of the day, I hit just over 6,000 steps.
I broke my 8-day streak of hitting my minimum goal of 10,000 steps daily, but due to the circumstances, I'll give myself a pass today and tomorrow. At least I'll still hit the minimum of 5,000 Activity for AFIT rewards.
Thank you for reading, I am happy to report I am one tooth less but still very much #AliveAndThriving. I hope your day is full of positive experiences and look forward to reporting on tomorrow's adventures in being alive!
Peace, Thoth442
