One reason: I was busy getting things ready for the Saturday Writers meeting which was the next day. My scheduled speaker had to cancel and I scrambled for someone to take her place. Many thanks to Debbie Marshall, president of Missouri Writers Guild (MWG), who came to our rescue.
Second reason: I was dealing with what I thought was a very painful toothache. After a visit to my dentist on the 25th, and then an oral surgeon on the 26th.....neither could figure out what was wrong. I told both of them, "What can I say? I'm weird!" So, on Monday, the 29th, I saw my primary doctor and was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I won't go into details because I don't want to come across as whiny, but I had some really awful pain, for quite a few days. (I knew it wasn't a sinus infection, either, because I had none of the usual symptoms. I get them often enough to know!)
My I Wonder for this Friday is: I wonder how many of you have any special plans for this 3-Day Weekend?
Me? I have no special plans.
I just want to relax and write, and write and relax, etc.
Also, Welcome to my newest follower, Maryann Miller. I hope you'll stop by often and always enjoy what you read and see! Thank you!

I have an art guild meeting in the morning, and then I plan to come home and get in the pool. It is wicked hot here! That's all I really have planned. Oh, maybe some reading!
ReplyDeleteBecky, did you read my reply to your comment on my post? You could have TMJ, and it can be treated!! Hope you are not in too much pain this weekend!
Hi Judie! It's wicked hot here, too! Most of the pools feel like warm bath water, though...ugh!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know you left a comment for me on your blog. The doc could tell by talking with me, and what my symptoms were that I don't have TMJ. I wish! I know that is easier to "fix"! Thanks again and I hope you have a fabulous weekend, dahhhling!
Really sorry to hear you have an ailment, Becky! Life is full of them anymore. No plans here, except to tolerate one more day of heat and wait for the cool to arrive...they promise!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing! Trigeminal neuralgia is awful. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky. That quote about the cars and Labour Day was really funny!! Do hope that you're feeling better now. Just an ordinary weekend over here in England. Our three day weekend (Bank Holiday) was last weekend. Hope you have a lovely weekend .
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had such pain, Becky. I hope you are feeling better by now. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI hope the pain is gone. I am curious to know what the Dr. said.
I, too, just plan to relax and take it easy!

Hi Claudia -- Yes, it's supposed to be hot here, too...and thunder-stormy! But the cool temps are on the way...I Can't Wait!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! Thanks! The worst pain I had I would compare to labor pains, but in my jaw! :o
Hi Thisisme -- Thank you. I AM feeling better. The meds have kicked in!
Hey Daisy! Thanks. I do hope to have a great weekend! :)
Hi Alice! Thank you dahhhling! Did you recognize the funny clock on this post? Didn't we give one like it to Ryan for his H.S. graduation?!
Hope you all have a wonderful, safe, relaxing weekend....even over in England!! :)
Ouch! Nothing hurts more than pain occurring in the head/mouth area. Must be because it's so close to the brain! Hope they get things under control for you.

I hope your jaw is feeling MUCH better. It is pouring here right now. I'm hoping to get out to Barnes & Noble between the thunderstorms today!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I looked up your diagnosis. I hope you're OK and they can find meds that help you. Have a relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Hope you are feeling much better now.

Hey K9friend! That's funny you said it that way, because another friend of mine said exactly the same thing!
ReplyDeleteHi Janel! We don't have any storms yet, but some are supposed to be heading our way...one of these days! Did you get to B&N? What did you buy?!
Hi Carol! Oh, you're sweet. Yes, I have meds and every now and then, they make me a bit "loopier" than "normal"! :D
HI Sue! Yes, much, much better than a week ago...that's for sure!
Thanks again everyone for stopping to comment and the well wishes. I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful blog friends, both near and very far!
Becky,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the pain you have to endure. My mother had Trigeminal neuralgia, and I hope your treatment options are better than hers were.
No plans for me - still nursing burns! You take care.
Namaste..........cj
So sorry to hear you were under the weather. But I'm glad you're back and I hope you're feeling better. :) And we have no plans for the long weekend either. Oh wait - yes we do... Sleeping in! :)
ReplyDeleteT.K.
Sorry you were under the weather and hope it goes away.
ReplyDeleteI am in Ohio visiting my grandson who is crawling and he is so cute!
Hope you are having a great one.

Hope you are all healed.
ReplyDeleteHi CJ! Thanks for your kind words and I KNOW you are suffering far more than I ever did! I hope you aren't in any pain now. I'll stop by your blog as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteHi TK ~ Thanks for the well wishes. We've had a very lazy weekend...and it continues! I actually did a little writing last night...for a contest.
Hi Sandie! Glad you're having fun and I wish you a very safe trip back home.
Hi Marcia! Thank you, dahhhhling. I am MUCH better!
