Session Two

Deb was feeling better after a night to recuperate. she seemed to bounce right back. Of course, we had to go back to the dentist and he did it all over again. Deb is having the left side of her mouth worked on. The lower jaw was done first, and now the upper jaw is being worked on. Once again, Deb comes out of the session looking rocky but we are better prepared now. We have the prescription drugs ready.
Deb will come back at 3:00 pm when they will fit her with temporary teeth. Basically, she will have her left side finished. The next step will be taken 10 months later when full permanent crowns will be fitted to the pins in her jaw. This allows for complete healing before the permanent caps are put in place.
We had the driver take us back to the hotel. Deb took her pain meds and went to bed. Pretty soon she became nauseous and threw up.
Deb never throws up. She hates throwing up and takes extraordinary steps to avoid it. But she was sick. We eventually figured out that she had taken a pain killer she had from a previous dental problem and had a reaction to it. She does that. Her body doesn't get numb from novocaine. She gets nauseous from some pain killers. She admitted that she had taken two pills which aggravated things.
I called and canceled our 3:00 pm appointment. Deb was sick all afternoon and in to the night.
