Hi Cheryl, How was Mike feeling today? Still some improvement after yesterday? I sure hope so. When did you say the home tens will come in. The sooner the better, right?

Thank you for your reassurance yesterday when you wrote back to me. I am planning on staying on the flexeril till this is all done with now. Dental work definitely stresses me out and will make me clench. The reason I am making Mike take me to the appt. is because the dentist wants me to take a flexeril that morning before the appt. Oh, the appt is for the 25th. I wanted to do it when Mike is off just in case I end up needing it pulled if they find a fracture in it. I am really hoping that a nice, new, proper fitting crown can help this situation though. If I got one back there that felt really good maybe some of my pain would ease up too.

So, how is the weather there today? We are very warm and humid but I think it is going to T-storm later. I am very much enjoying the warm air.

This morning I went and got a perm. Wanted to get one before summer so I don't have to mess with my hair as much. Plus it is good when swimming. It was nice to get out and do something positive too. The girl that does my hair is a friend of mine so we caught up on gossip.

Well, hope today is going well for you. Mike goes to the chiro today right? I am praying for him to get better and better each time. Talk to you soon, Michelle

Hi Michelle,

That's probably a good idea taking the Flexeril until your dental work is all over. Same with Mike driving you there. I'm afraid of taking things that affect me funny while driving, too. Your appt. is the 25th? His is the 26th, for the new splint. Boy, you two are going neck and neck with these appt.'s!

We're leaving for the chiro. in about 15 minutes, then off to masso. It's all so time consuming, hopefully he has a summer. His friend spent the night last night, they had fun. It's nice seeing him be a kid once in a while. He hasn't been complaining too much today, that's a good sign. The tens should make it to the dentist's office within a week. I'm excited about that.

It's overcast here today and about 75 or so. The humidity is awful-something like 78%.

I hope you're having a good day, too, and you're in my prayers.
Take Care,
Cheryl

Cheryl,

Our plaid was blue. And I love to wear blue since my eyes are blue. But I never wear plaid. Emily had a skirt when she was little that someone gave her as a gift that looked like my old uniform. I rarely put it on her.

My perm came out okay so far. I think she cut a bit much off again though. I will probably like it better when it relaxes and grows a bit. I color mine too so my perms never last. I have to hide those grays. Oh, and acne, same here, everyone probably knows when my period is coming too. I break out worse now than I did as a teen I think. Ever since I stopped taking birth control. (mike got fixed) I have never tried a tanning booth. But I know what you mean about making yourself feel good sometimes. We all need to pamper ourselves and do things to make us feel like we are still pretty. (and we probably both are and just don't see it anyway)

Well, hope the chiro. appt. goes well for Mike. I will talk to you soon. Take care, Michelle
