Time is Passing Slowly in Pain...ouch!

Well, here it is 2 weeks later and I'm still on ibuprofen and tylenol. HA. I finally got the permanent crown on but am still hurting so much. Yesterday I was pretty much in tears after the procedure. I feel like every nerve in my face is screaming at me. I'm praying that all this will pass as things settle down. In other news, Stephen's car died on him and we'll pay 340 dollars to get it fixed. Thank You, Lord, that he was near the school when it conked out. He is also going to get his thumb looked at tomorrow and he actually has a job interview at Applebee's for a server position. I'm so glad about that...will help us out and him, too. Erin is still doing well...11 weeks pregnant now. She's very tired already of her job of nannying a 9 month old. She's going to have to stick with it until December. Dad is going to have a heart cath next Tuesday. I pray for protection for him, Lord. So, anyway, life is not exactly dull right now. Oh, for some good health and dullness. But, as always, thank You for Your many blessings, Lord. I'm thankful for all.

Pain and Aggravation

First of all, let me say that I know I am blessed. These little troubles in this world will pass and are nothing compared to what Christ went through. Plus my troubles are light compared to other folks I know who are looking at their last days because of cancer...not getting to see their kids grow up and get married, not getting to see their grandchildren. It's sad but we have that certainty that we will be reunited one day in heaven. Thank You, Lord, for that peaceful assurance.
I am going through lots of oral pain every day thanks to a broken wisdom tooth that I have a temporary crown on. It's causing my whole jaw to hurt thanks to my weird bite. I know this shall pass but I hate taking pain medicine around the clock. Well the Lord's teaching me endurance. I'm such a baby and I need to learn how to tolerate pain more than I have in the past. Wonder what the reason is for that?
Well, in the meantime we are enjoying watching our daughter grow and grow with that future grandchild. I think I want to be called "grandmommy". I like that! :)
