honey bunches of oats

Okay, so I'm not ACTUALLY falling apart.. but kind of I am. Last week I had my first dental visit... and discovered I had my first two cavities! So sad. It didn't hurt to drill them, but the week leading up to it I was petrified. Holy moly.. I was like OMG my teeth are gonna fall out! Googling like crazy... oh googling.. it can be so dangerous. I finally got that taken care of.. and it didn't hurt at all! All the worrying for nothing. The only side effect, was my paranoia that I would drool because my lips were numb... hahahaha

So then, I got on the treadmill at the gym and had an awful pain in my hip... OH NOO!!! I frantically called my Dad (because of course, Dads are the end-all-be-all of knowledge... and Moms too) and thank goodness he is a PT, because he semi-diagnosed me over skype with a pulled groin. Lovely... I go see the doctor next Wednesday.. who happens to be the old nurse practitioner from Messiah College... and I am hardly thrilled about this. I can't wait to hear the diagnosis.. swine flu? Broken hip? The ebola virus? Maybe she'll give me as much medicine as they gave Amanda when she had the flu... and that way I'll be so high I won't even realize my hip hurts anymore!

Okay.. that was cynical.. but you all know what I mean! And during the past 2 weeks of prepping for the inevitable, I have been doing an insane amount of Googling my symptoms... which as I said above, is almost half the problem!! I'll be okay, really. It doesn't even hurt that much anymore, since I stopped exercising. My Dad's first diagnosis was a hernia.. oh em gee which would mean surgery.. and that would also mean the first surgery ever. They'd have to give me the dose of anesthesia that they give the obese men because that's how worked up I'd be.

Now, apparently I'm teething. My wisdom tooth hurts like your first heartbreak in high school, getting your foot run over my the car tire, a hangnail perhaps? Hard to compare.. I kind of want them out but he says they are coming in straight so it'd be a waste of money... lovely. Until then, me and the oral-pain-relieving-antiseptic rinse have become best of friends... (don't take it personally, it's just you three are so far away, I had to find a temporary bff)

Oh, and did I mention that when I went to the dentist to make sure that it was not infected.. he stuck a mirror in my mouth and told me I was teething, and then had the audacity to charge me $66 for that?! WHAT THE HECK. I am going to go broke if I have any more teeth issues.

So all that being said, I need you all in my life, because without you I am falling apart! All these things reminded me of our Frey D301 Diagnosis Center (A.K.A. Joy and Amanda googling symptoms and cures of Bri's fainting, Hil's coughing, Amanda's periods.. etc etc) and I cannot help but sit here and smile thinking about it.

What chapter are you guys on in our book?? Just wondering. I was at page 70? And then the other day I sat in the laundromat waiting for my clothes and kinda barreled through a bunch of it.. oopsie (it was an accident, promise!) but I really like this book so far!!! What do you all think? Do you like it???

Love, peace, and me
