Double whammy

We have been having at least 2 -3 sets of people dropping by on a daily business. Only one or two from Tres Amigos. have dropped by. Most folks just want to know the cost of our rent and can they get that third last site. Ideally we want RVers to be here long term, ie a 5 month commitment. Many just want a month here and there. We and our friends are firm on renting two sites and hope that the 3rd site will work out as well. Hopefully not a 5th wheel unless they wish to drive in. We all want to have our own private patios.

This past Sunday morning as we were being “interviewed” about the third site, I noticed out of the corner of my eye the girls munching on a small seashell. Basically they ate a bit of the edginding.  Carlie did not look good but she came out of it. Ciela on the other hand could hardly catch her breath and appeared to be choking. I first thought that she had tiny pieces of shell all through her throat that was moving downward. She was visibly suffering. I started googling the situation and other than immediate surgery ( it was a Sunday of course ) a possible solution was to mix tiny pieces of bread with some canned pumpkin. We had the ingredients, the thought was that the bread would absorb the pieces of shell and the pure pumpkin puree would help slide it our of her body. Ciela gobbled up what I served her but just lay still on her stomach. What to do, what to do?

Ciela walked around looked for something green to eat. She then started eating the lower leaves of my mini palm trees. There was some grass growing two sites over and Colin got her this batch. She ate that and then the same amount a second time. Quite a lot I thought.

I held her for a while and then placed her on the chaise. Carlie soon came over to keep Ciela company. So sweet.

We had already scheduled Katia and her fiancé to come by for drinks and snacks. Interesting how Carlie jumped up to sit with Allen. Ciela had settled a bit but she was only about 60%. Once they left we sat with Ciela holding her close. We expected her to start upchucking all that grass but she did not. It took her over ten hours before she had a poop, no sign of grass nor pumpkin. However today, this Tuesday morning, about 2AM she threw up few times in the RV. There was a bit of grass and pumpkin. At this point we have no idea where it all is. She is doing better but still very sleepy but still wanted to go to the beach today and chase birds. Her breathing is back to normal but she is rather tired.

I had tenderness in my mouth off and on Saturday. Saturday night was very uncomfortable and when I awoke Monday morning I knew that I required a root canal. OUCH! 

The last root canal that I had was back in 2014 with Dr. Paty and all remains 100%.  So she was my first stop yesterday ( Monday @ 1PM ). Yes I needed a root canal but she has not done them for many years and in all honesty wanted me to go to a specialist Dr. Wong is an endodontist who only does root canals. Dr. Paty was able to get me an appointment with Dr. Wong just one hour later. I was in so much pain that I was ” okay whatever “. Dr. Paty also asked Colin if he could update her website photos which he took 9 years ago.

Here I am, a full day later and my teeth are aching. I have been told that it is due to extreme inflammation.

Having had a few root canals in my past, I could tell that Dr. Wong was very thorough,

He took an X-ray every step of the way.  It was a complicated situation in a very short tooth.

He competed the job and we left, I was in worse pain than what I had come in with. So I am on antibiotics and anti inflammatories. Part of the pain comes from having to hold my mouth so very wide open for over an hour. On the way home the freezing started to come out.  The pain was intense and I told Colin that I did not think I could make it home – ie pulmonia and lancha to the Isla. I wanted a morphine IV and an ambulance. Neither of my hip replacement surgeries gave me so much pain. Still this morning I have the pain. I guess I just have to let my mouth settle down and wait for the inflammation to go away.

So Dr. Wong only did a temporary filling and has sent me back to Dr Paty.  He has no idea what she will do.  The tooth is too short for a crown.  Meanwhile he never levelled the bite of the tooth.  So I am unable to bring my upper and lower teeth together on my right side or I scream. Dr. Paty won’t see me until Monday so that my mouth settles down.

Definitely  a double whammy. I really don’t like to be in constant pain. No one does.

I took this last Saturday from our site.

Sunday, the day prior to the full moon. Due to our double whammy we did not get any moon photos yesterday nor tonight.
