FRIDAY VIEW

I am still in intense pain.  I get relief for awhile and then it comes back.  I have spent hours online trying to find a dentist that is open on Saturday and takes my insurance.  I can't afford to pay someone.  I know that sounds awful, but I literally do not have the money.  So far, no luck.  The one that sounded promising had terrible reviews.  People had in capital letters STAY AWAY.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.  I have had it for tonight, so in the morning I will try again.

Despite feeling so lousy I did get all my quilts washed this week and hung out to dry.  I took pictures of them to show you for your Friday View.  My mom made all of them.  She was a wonderful quilter.  I miss her so much.  I'm glad I have her quilts.  When I use them I feel as if she is still here giving me a hug.

This is the first quilt my mom ever made and she made it for me for my birthday.  I can still remember her giving it to me back in 1982.  She always said she didn't know what she was doing back then.  Unfortunately, it is starting to wear out.

I collect teddy bears and so I love this quilt.

 I'm so not feeling good so I am going to end. If you don't hear from me in awhile, it's because of this tooth.  Ugghh.  Until later....

A QUICK NOTE

I just wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and good wishes on my behalf.  I'm still fighting this horrible tooth infection and the intense pain.  And fighting a battle is what I am doing.

I called the dentist today because I was still in a lot of pain.  He suggested I have the tooth extracted to relieve all of the pain and suffering I have been through.  The nurse gave me the name of two dentists to call but neither of them take my insurance.  And they are both over an hour away.  I won't be able to drive afterwards either.  My friend, Debbie, goes to the same family dentist I go to and was sent to a dentist nearby.  I called his office, but he is out of town for a week and won't be seeing anyone until the 28th.  Too long to wait.

So as of now I am seeing how things go over night tonight.  If I am still in a lot of pain, I will be calling my insurance to see who I can get to take the tooth out.  If things calm down, I will try to make it through the weekend and see if I can have the root canal finished and hopefully that will do the trick along with the antibiotics I am taking.

Please continue your prayers.  I need them desperately.

TAKING A BREAK

Folks, I am in intense pain.  Plus I'm running a fever from this infection in my jaw.  I am taking a break for a few days from blogging to see if I can get myself together here.  I will be back as soon as I am feeling better.
