teeth, wrists and money.

I found out today that the tingling and pain I've been having in my hands is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  I only mentioned the symptoms to my neurologist on the off chance - and I wondered if the tingling could be caused by my meds fucking up my blood chemistry.  One in particular that I take has a habit of randomly playing havoc with blood chemistry.

The scene goes something like this "Have we had your blood tested lately, you know sodium, all that sort of stuff...we don't want anything to get out of hand..." I'm trying to concentrate but all I can focus on is the sight of smartie making himself right at home up on the exam bed, and settling down for a little nap..."Uh, no not for ages." I answer.  Then I begin to muse out loud if the tingling I've been experiencing in my hands and forearms might be related.  So then he gets all Dr-ey on me - you know the usual type of questions, then tapping on the inside of my wrists (yikes! that hurt!), then when he heard about my painful history with my hands and forearms, he shook his head and said "Carpal Tunnel my dear.", he's sending me for nerve testing.  Which from the research I just did, sounds like it's going to be a little painful.

Can't be any worse than the hysterical(!)-salpingography-cooter-jacksie who knows what test I had recently.

My $900 root canal tooth broke in half - not 24hrs after I had the final root canal procedure.  Of course the dentist accepts no liability, and now I am having to spend another $1k on repairs, crowns and the like.  So far every person I've spoken to, who's had a root canal tells the same story - root canal finished - tooth breaks in half.  Six people! Six, count them.

I have been desperately searching for WildWildWest fabrics to create my month of softies entry, but have had no luck (or inspiration) what-so-ever.  I am going to Spotlight tomorrow in a last ditch effort to find something. anything.

I am also ready to start my "tie on one" entry for August - but now I have to spend Saturday at the dentist, and Sunday is Harrison's birthday, it doesn't look like it's going to get done this weekend.
