I have heard that, I have said it and now I am starting to believe it.
1. February - Stephen breaks the growth plate in his foot at the big toe, 2 weeks prior to baseball season starting, and he is a catcher. So, he was in a boot, a cast and a boot again... Not healed until mid April
2. June - Rebecca breaks her arm. A distal-radial buckle - which if you are going to have a break, this is the kind to get. They heal fast. She was put in a cast (6 more days) that looks like the Cheshire Cat. Very cute, but not very fun...
3. June - I break a tooth. Was all set for a root canal and crown, but no. I broke it all the way to the pulp of the tooth, infection was setting in (it was 2 days!! not like I waited 2 months to have it looked at) and I had to have it pulled. And to top it off on the same side of my mouth there were 2 other cracked teeth, so I have to get crowns. Now I have to go and get evaluated for an implant - OR get another crown and bridge the tooth. I don't want a bridge, so I am hoping that I can get the implant. Did I mention that the dentist found 2 other teeth that need crowns? Yes - for a total of 4!!! They are starting to fracture... Oh, and did I also mention that I see my kids dentist more than I see one for me? Do as I say, not as I do, yes?!
So, here I sit - hoping that this is the three. I don't think I can take much more than this... So, no cruise update for today... :(
More tomorrow!
