Today was my 6th session and tomorrow I get to go home! Can't wait for that. I haven't had any soreness or anything yet...other than my nose which is killing me from blowing my nose!
I asked the technicians if I could wait until the last possible moment to put my mouth appliance in and they gave me the green light. This makes it far better, especially with a head cold and thinking I may not be able to breathe through my nose the whole time. Today I listed to Elton John while having the treatment and even found myself doing a little toe tapping. Helped pass the time! Honestly the sessions are very quick. I prefer to have morning sessions, so I can get in and get out and have the rest of my day free. Not that I'm doing that much - but it's just nice.
This afternoon I had a massage by a student massage therapist. She was very good and worked on my shoulders and back. I felt like a puddle of goo when she was done, so I treated myself to a nice hot bubble bath.
For dinner tonight we had Moussaka or something like that - some Greek dish with eggplant. Um, it was different and I now know I am not a huge fan of Moussaka. The dessert was good though - even though it did look like to bulls balls covered in caramel...what a picture!
Did my first fluoride treatment tonight - the first of the rest of my life, or so they tell me. Radiation weakens your teeth so the fluoride helps make them stronger. I've never had a mouth guard in before - that is not something would want to do the rest of my life - oh wait, I have to do it the rest of my life. I don't know how the boys did it playing hockey and football. It's gross - but maybe it's something you get use to.
I took two nighttime Tylenol Cold pills tonight - maybe I'll sleep better than I did last night.
Can't wait for tomorrow because I get to go home!
I FOLLOWED YOU HERE FROM THE ROSS BLOG. I'M GRANNY TG. I DON'T GO TO HIS BLOG AS MUCH AS I USED TOO.NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TOO BUT OUR LIVES CHANGE. I'M SO EXCITED FOR ROSS AND WHERE HE'S AT TODAY. HIS REAL FANS[ME FOR ONE] KNEW HE'D GROW AND CLIMB THAT LADDER. I KNOW FOR SURE HE WOULD ALWAY REMEMBER ME EVEN IN 20 YEARS. WHEN I WAS EVER LUCKY TO TALK TO HIM HE WOULD SAY, IS THIS TAMPA GRANNY BEFORE I EVEN SAID ANYTHING. HE'S NEVER CUT ME OFF.
ReplyDeleteI DON'T LEAVE COMMENTS AS MUCH AS I DID. IT COULD BE AGE. OLD AGE STINKS. LOL
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND WISH YOU WELL. I'VE SEEN YOUR NAME ON THE BLOG MANY TIMES. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF. TG
Hi Tampa Granny - I remember reading your posts many times! I have been following Ross' blog since he was in Celebrity Fit Club. I think he is so genuine and funny and loves his blog buddies. I miss the days of his daily blogs and talky blogs, but am so happy for the way his life is moving foward they way he has always wanted!
DeleteThanks for taking the time to send me a personal message - it means a lot. As you can see I haven't written on here for two years now - life has been hectic with radation and two surgeries with one or more to come.
Take care TG!
Wendy
YOU KNOW WHO, TG GRANNY
ReplyDeleteI JUST LOST MY BEST FRIEND FROM THE 7TH GRADE ON MONDAY. SHE LIVED IN ST PETE AND ME ACROSS THE BAY IN THE TAMPA AREA, WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE EACH OTHEROFTEN BUT WE DID PICK UP THE PHONE AND CHAT EVERY FEW MONTHS. WE BOTH GREW UP IN NEW YORK [UPSTATE] AND IN ALL OUR TRAVELS WE BOTH ENDED UP HERE IN FLORIDA. I WAS SO UPSET THAT NONE OF HER KIDS CALLED ME ABOUT HER PASSING. I JUST HAPPEN TO SEE A POST ON F/B THAT HER 9 YEAR OLD SISTER PUT ON THERE. BETTY AND I WERE LIKE SISTER ALL OUR LIFE AND I SHOULDN'T REALLY BE UPSET WITH HER KIDS. THEY'RE HURTING IN A BIG WAY. SHE'S BEEN FIGHTING THIS UGLY CANCER FOR YEAR BUT REALLY NOT TAKING CARE OF HERSELF. IT'S A LONG STORY.SHE WAS LIKE A RECLUSE AND DIDN'T LET PEOPLE INTO HER WORLD EXCEPT A SMALL FEW. ME FOR ONE. SO SAD, BUT SHE'S AT PEACE AND FOR THAT I'M HAPPY. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THIS HAS BEEN A SAD WEEK FOR ME BUT YET HAPPY FOR HER NOT BEING IN PAIN ANYMORE. I'LL BE LOOKING FOR YOU ON ROSS'S BLOG AS, YOU KNOW WHO. I DON'T USE TAMPAGRANNY TG ON THERE ANYMORE. ROSS'S STALKER STARTED TO PICK ON ME SO THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON I STOPPED COMMENTING.
ReplyDeleteIT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MARCH IS HERE ALREADY. WHERE DID THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS GO. I JUST WANTED TO DROP BY AND LET YOU KNOW THAT I WAS THINKING OF YOU AND PRAY YOUR DOING GREAT. YUP, TAMPAGRANNY,TG, OR YOU KNOW WHO
