The Pain of It!

I had some major oral surgery Friday morning. Dr. Boutros and his Assistant, DJ are the best and such caring people! I truly felt comfortable with them! I had one dental inplant (this is my 3rd now) and three extractions. One of the extractions was my lower right wisdom tooth. I was told all three extractions were extremely difficult. What should have taken one to 1.5 hours, took two hours in surgery.

I have been in severe pain since Friday! I am normally a tough girl! I normally can take anything and nothing could stop me... until now! Perhaps it is old age creeping up on me....

THANK GOD for Nene taking over my classes this week! What am I going to do without Nene! She has been such a blessing! The entire team has been wonderful! I feel so blessed!

This is Day 6: I called the doctors office again this morning and told them that I was not expecting this pain to stay with me so long... They said that they are not surprised!! They should have warn us... Nino said (when we were walking out), that they kept giving him a strange face and letting him know by their facial expressions, "you must get her meds as soon as you can... she will need it.."

I wished they could have warned me of this pain, it would have been easier to deal with. I can take pain BUT when the pain feels like someone is cutting off my jaw, from ear-to-ear, and it is way tooo intense! I know I must sound like a baby, but those that know me, know that I can teach (literally) with a broken foot - The only time my life takes a "pause" is if I feel nausea... That is the only time I have to stop what I am doing and use mind over matter... anything else I normally can deal with.

Am I glad I did this? LOLOLOL Nino asked me that this morning! LOLOL He said IF you knew it was going to be like this, would you have done it? The answer... NO! LOL Seriously, I am glad to get this over with. ONE more Implant to get in 3-4 months and I will be fine for a long time! Dang, I never thought I would go through the dental implant thingy again, but I have no choice at this point.

I am going to act like it is a normal day today.... I plan to cook a slow-cooked yummy meal for Nino and Tati tonight. In class, I plan to teach with hand cueing only.... My stiches are healing nicely and I do not have any swolleness, only the pain of something sawing off my jaw at the bones under my ears... speaking of ears.... my right ear has a lot of pain too. I still cannot eat anything but soup, icecream and soft toast... I have to eat the toast with my front teeth.

Enough complaining... this will be over with soon!

Feedback on my article in the CoSoZo Living Magazine & my Reply

Hi Debbie, One of the members where I teach Zumba brought me the article you wrote Zumba Craze Hits Michigan. I just read it and had to send you some feedback. I thought the article was great in that it encourages people to consider Zumba, the fun workout, the fabulous aerobic activity, etc. I also loved that you boasted that the Zumba Program is currently being taught at over 50,000 locations, etc. All in all it was great. I do, however, TOTALLY disagree with the paragraph starting with Most Zumba instructors without a fitness background face away from their students.... I could not disagree with your statement more. There is no written rules about this in the Zumba instructors notes and the proof is really in the pudding. In other words, what does the student/member really prefer? Whether you believe this or not, students find it much easier to follow when the instructor is facing the same direction that they are. It has nothing to do with 'looking at someones' buttocks

Listen to a Child

I am not sure why I am writing this right now, but something inside of me insisted that I needed to write this. So, if you are reading this and need to help a child or you are the one that is seeking help, please get the help now. If you feel you are afraid or no one will listen, go to a church, hospital, or to someone that you can trust. Photo of Donna(top) and me, 35 years later. Photos taken at Sarsh Fisher. Their doors are closed and a private business bought the property. Our parents told us to "pack our things". Of course we were confused and afraid, because we had no idea of why we were packing our things. ( Imagine coming home from school and your parents are telling you to pack your things. You do as you are told and no one is talking or telling you why. Imagine that feeling.... ) We drove down this long driveway and arrived at the doorsteps of this huge building that we never saw. Our mother got out of the truck and demanded that we follow her with our bags. We wer

I just didn't know!

I did not know how cruel the Sheeps were mistreated when making UGG products. I love how my husband commented on the subject and decided to share it here... "I don't know what is worse, the fact that the sheep are being horribly mistreated or the fact that a nation of sheep followed the lead of a third grade level show, that featured a half dressed bimbo wearing boots, that they decided they had to have. (Referring to UGGs and Pamela Anderson on Baywatch) Now the nation of idiots loves Effing Duck Dynasty.  Just when you think the level of stupidity couldn't get worse.  I'm willing to bet duck hunting or whatever the hell they do, is at an all time high.  Ask the looneys watching what their state Capitol is and they'd probably have no idea." ~ Anthony P.
