I got my four wisdom teeth pulled out on Thursday. This should have happened years ago but it was just not convenient. However, one of them had gotten bad enough that I finally just went for it.
Corban and Mary were nice to arrange some x-rays for me when the kids to Kids Rock so it was one less appointment that I had to figure out. And the oral surgeon was able to get me in within a week!
Troy stayed home on Thursday so he did have to work. So this is where my amazing friends came in.
Jess had Aleksi and Miio at her house while I was in the surgery.
Troy picked the boys up after he dropped me off; Miio came to nap at home while Aleksi went to Anders' house. Nicole had Aleksi until it was time to go to piano at 4:15.
The kids didn't have school on Friday, so Missie took Eerika, Aleksi and Miio to her house. They were there all day! Saku hung out here for a while in the morning and then Jennie came to get him so he could play with James. Jennie also brought me ice cream. Nicole dropped off a homemade smoothie! And Lisa bought some toilet paper for us and dropped it off here.
On Saturday, I finally got really swollen so Troy took the kids to the library (for four hours), Fox Run Park and Chick-Fil-A. Dani dropped off a Jamba Juice to me. I was in bed, worked on my blog and read books and took a nap all day long.
They had a snowball fight. And Saku had said to Troy "This has been a great day. We should do this more".
Miio was pretty happy to be a big kid at the playplace at Chick-Fil-A.
This morning (day #4) seemed to be the toughest and I was a bit worried about a complication with a dry socket but I feel better now after medication and nap.
Missie also brought me ice cream, yogurt, applesauce, chocolate milk, and an icepack on Wednesday night.
I feel so loved. I feel so grateful. I feel so inspired to be a better friend. To go beyond the little gestures but to truly look out for the people in my life.
