This morning I woke up in pain. Since I am known to grind my teeth and clench them (this is how I show frustration, so do not judge) I figured my TMJ was acting up again....but of course I have to deal with that later. John Mark is in San Antonio, and I have to get two girls ready for school and drive them. Then I have my car oil to get changed, buy groceries, run a birthday party at the gym, and do a mystery shop. I do not have time for my health today.....but since it is Friday, I am not dealing with this pain throughout the weekend.
I am a health ignorer...do you know people like me? I hate to go to the doctor or dentist, I despise checkups, and I will eventually go to something, if I just can't figure out how to solve it myself. This morning the pain was so bad that my girls saw me in tears, so I had to get something done about it, or I knew I would stress them out. Our dentist is a family friend so he insisted I come right in first thing that morning, and much to my joy took one x-ray, and said...."no wonder your TMJ is in overtime, your back tooth has nearly cracked, and we need to get you to an oral surgeon for a root canal."
What?!!?!!
I don't have time for this. I have a full schedule til after Thanksgiving, and my teeth are just not my priority (even though I know they should be). He prescribed for me an antibiotic, and pain meds (that I will only take at night, because I hate anything that might impair my judgments).
So my active life has caused me to finally crack (literally), and I have no time to deal with it because there is too much going on!
