This is a really bad time to have to go in for a cleaning.  But these appointments can not easily be changed.  So I am pulling myself together as best I can, and will get thru it.  The next couple of days will be for recovery.

The dentist office is in the same building, just 2 doors down from my psychologist (she just moved there last year).  So the path there is a familiar one.  That will help.  The hygienist is a very pleasant, and cheery person.  And if I am up to it, I will stop for a treat for dinner – that probably will not happen.  But these are all things I try to push to the front of my thoughts.

I have to play little mental games to keep myself going – they are very tiring.  There will be more after I get back…

I am back, and I am still alive!!

It was much more traumatic than normal… but Julie, my hygienist was very helpful with my mood, and did a great job!  But it sure was nice to get home.  I had to make a stop on the way, so I got myself some Mac n Chees to help me feel better.

I am doing as well as I could expect right now.
