I am h aving dental work done; the anesthetic is wearing off now and I hope the pain won't be too bad.
It's a very difficult root canal---have to go back to endodontist in 2 weeks---he says it's a "tough tooth", wants to give it his "undivided attention".
then I have to go to my regular dentist for restoration.
My a is having problems of his own now and has no room to comfort me. He goes in and out of some kind of trance. (Is it because he's 61?) He used to be more supportive, even when he was drinking! lol
He's not there for me now.
I also found a therapist at long last who would see me for my financial offers and condition. She and I agree that I don't have any support now. Except alanon.
I went to great online meeting just now---good topics on detachment.
Enough said! Of course you need support. I'm not sure if you've heard of our slogan HALT - that we do less well when we are Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired.
A friend in alanon told me she thinks of it as SHALT - Sick, Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired.
By my count, with a root canal you might be all of these things, except hungry. And you might even be hungry if you can't chew! I'm not poking fun, just trying to get you to smile
We are here for you and hope you will keep coming back and updating on how you are and we can make you a nice cup of virtual tea or chicken soup while you recover,
