Oh No
Ryan got two exciting offers yesterday. Ath!etes International has invited her to join the basketball team going to Australia this summer. Don't know yet if she will because her summer is VERY busy with her regular AAU team. She also received a request to profile in a track and field magazine as one of the top athletes from Texas. There is also a request from the Junior Commision of USA Track and Field to keep her in the loop so that she can try out for one of the National Teams going to the Pan Am Junior Championship in Fortaleza, Brazil this summer. Awesome! Her coach gave her the requests yesterday after track practice because it had been mailed to the track coach at school. She's really excited about that. Enough about Ryan... on to me.
Today I have to go to the dentist... again. They are finishing up one root canal (hopefully!!! They have been unable to keep my numb due to the infection so it's taking forEVER!) and getting started on two more. I know, I know!! There were no obvious outward signs that there were cavities or anything... it just started hurting. I've had this trouble before- caused my some medicine I took as a kid damaging my teeth from the inside out. So while these two teeth look fine, they are not.
To top that off Jade has something going on with her. She's following me the way Woody does when his back is hurting... staying by my side non stop, regardless of where I go. Craig is taking off work at noon today to spend the day with me. He flies to Nashville (I think) later tonight so we were going to spend the day together but now it appears that Jade will be going to the vet. It's hard for me to think of her hurting because she is just the sweetest dog. She tore her ACL last fall but we haven't had it operated on because it only hurts her at certain times and it's hardly ever for more than a day, so the vet advised us to wait. Woody will be 8 this September (born the day before Craig and I got married) and Jade will be 6 next month. They're both Labs, putting them around the upper-middle of the life expectancy list. It was TERRIBLE when Whiskey died so thinking of them dying too is just too much. Therefore, I won't.
Dental appointments are much better to think about.
