Last Minute Appointment!

Okay, so here's the story! On the day after Thanksgiving I ate a pecan and my lip swelled up. I ended up biting my lip.......HARD! I immediately had a mucocele start growing. (An oral mucocele, also referred to as mucus extravasation phenomenon, is a swelling of connective tissue consisting of collected mucin from a ruptured salivary gland duct, which is usually caused by local trauma.) It pretty much feels like a marble underneath your lip. When they take it out it is a little round ball. A few weeks ago I stopped by my dentist and he drained it. The draining lasted about 2 days before it filled up again so he referred me to an oral surgeon. It is snowing and icing here so there is a school day today. I called the Oral Surgeon and asked if they had any cancellations today and if I could get in. An hour later I was sitting in the chair with my lip being cut open! I have to go back in two weeks to make sure the stitches dissolved correctly and that the pathology report on it is good! Here are before and after surgery pics!

WARNING! SOME OF THEM NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!

Here is with the stitches.

So today it feels like it's ripping apart. It's definite pain! I am eating ice pops today!

It is now 72 hours later. I'm not sure it is supposed to look like it does. It looks like the stitches are dissolving but it's still a hole in my lip. I will stop by the surgeon's office tomorrow after work if I get off early.

Winter Storm Photos!

It was a crazy night last night! I was woken up out of sound sleep and then it wasn't so easy to go back to sleep when I knew what was happening! All I could think of was the tree that went through Wendy's house! We could hear every branch breaking. These are [B]thick[/B] branches too. I am so glad they didn't land on the neighbors house too since they are jerks! They will probably freak out that they have branches in their yard. This is too big of a job to get rid of the branches we will have to hire someone.

Farewell to a Great Leader.

Photobucket
It was an honor to have you as My President.

Glenn Beck summed it up perfectly for me at the end of his show today.

“Mr. President, on the darkest day you gave us hope when we were hopeless. You were unafraid when we were terrified. You lead when nobody else wanted to. Mr. President you don’t have any idea what you meant to me personally right after 9/11. Job well done Good and Faithful servant. Thank you Mr. President.”

I (heart) Glenn Beck!

Candice does not live here...

At work this morning I was going down the phone list to look for someone to work for me today. I have never called anyone on the list before and of course I could have just said thanks and hung up but this guy was C-R-A-Z-Y and I couldn't help myself!!

This is pretty much how the conversation went:

Guy: Hello?

Me: Hi, is Candice there?

Guy: I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING HERE. CANDICE DOES NOT LIVE AT THIS NUMBER.

Me: I'm sorry. This is the first time I've call-

Guy: IT IS NOT, I TELL YOU ALL THE TIME THAT THIS IS NOT CANDICE'S NUMBER.

Guy: I TOLD YOU LAST TIME NOT TO CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN, YOU STUPID B!TCH.

Me: Omg, you need to take some kind of meds or something, I simply had the wrong number.

Guy: HANG UP STUPID B!TCH!

Me: Ooh maybe just for fun, I will call and ask for Candice every day.

Guy: GO AHEAD.

Me: I will.

Guy: I'LL REPORT YOU.

Me: Go for it, I just had the wrong number by accident.

Guy: I'LL CALL YOU THEN, YOU KNOW I HAVE YOUR NUMBER NOW.

Me: Good for you.

Guy: HANG UP NOW!

Me: No, you want to hang up go ahead.

Guy: ---
Me:---


I finally hang up because I am actually trying to do something....A minute later my phone rings and I let it go to voicemail...

My message: Hello, you've reached the --- family, we aren't here to take your call right now, please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Guy: THIS IS NOT CANDICE'S NUMBER.

He was seriously yelling at me. This guy is cracked! Rich wants to spread his number at a bunch of Truck Stop bathrooms. For a good time call Candice at this number... He's a truck driver too, he'll do it! lol
