Root Canal

OMGosh!!! I went in to the dentist yesterday, because I was in extreme pain. It started on Thursday. And the dentist blew me off. To make a long story short, I went to my endodontist today. He ended up cutting off my bridge, and he had to do a root canal on the tooth that the bridge was attached too...so needless to say, now I also need a new bridge, and I'm in pain.

Berda's Birthday

Saturday we celebrated Roberta's 40th birthday with lunch at Maggiano's in Naperville. After a rocky start (ask Tracy about the drive), Berda, Heather, Tracy and Becky were able to eat lots and lots of good food. Our server seemed to go out of his way, and it was a good time for all of us. We missed Cheyrl and Jackie, maybe next time. I would like to have a sister's trip to St. Louis this fall, how about ladies?

WOMEN

This is Women History month. I thought I would share some facts with you. In 1848 the first women's right convention was held in Seneca New York. In 1869 Wyoming because the first territory to grant women the right to vote and in 1943 The All American Girl Professional Baseball League because the first Pro Baseball league for women.

Did you know that there are 15 states that never ratified the Equal Rights Amendment? They are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, N. Carolina, Oklahoma, S. Carolina, Utah, Virginia and ILLINOIS.

And on this day in 1970 Mom was sitting on the couch in the front room and thinking to herself that "this baby is never going to come. I will be pregnant forever." (Probably. I'm just guessing)

What a day?

What a day! My day Saturday started with a quick shower at 4:15am. I had to be at St. Joe's Hospital before 6:00am. Luckily, I got there a few minutes early, because all the entrances in the parking garage where locked, and I could not figure out how to get into the hospital. (Good thing I wasn't dying.) I did find an employee, who took me through the employee entrance. I found my instructor for the day, Diane. She was very nice, and answered all my questions about being an EKG tech. We started out in the Intensive Care unit, then did Cardia, and a few walkins. The hardest part of the day was seeing the thin, elderly people. Alot of them were under quarantine, due to having an infectious disease. In those rooms we had to suit up. The worst part of the day was walking into the room, just as a man had passed away. His family was there. Diane, said that this has never happened to her before and usually the nurse is usually warns her ahead of time. All this before 10:00am. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Bob took me to Westside Tap, in the evening, which is a local bar. Our neighbor Steve was playing the drums there. It was nice to relax and have a beer. Several of the neigbors showed up. All in all it wasn't a bad day, just really different.
