Thank goodness for dental insurance and Stanley Steemer

I had an appointment today with my new dentist for a checkup and cleaning. I haven't been in since before Kaelin was born, and that was not a good experience. I really like my new dentist. The whole staff was super nice and my exam was very thurough. The best news is that every thing I need done from them is 100% covered on our insurance! So I need to schedule to have a wisdom tooth pulled and a cavity filled. Then she referred me to an oral surgeon for my bottom wisdom tooth since the roots are curved. Plus I have a referral to an endodontist to see what is going on with the tooth I previously had a root canal and crown done on. She thinks they may have missed a nerve and that there may be some infection under one of the roots. Mom has her hand surgery on Wednesday so once I find out what her recovery period will be then I'll schedule the extraction. I'm actually excited to go back and have the work done. And that's saying alot coming from me, I hate dental work!

When I got home the Stanley Steemer guy was here already. Mom put all of Kaelin's toys in our room so he didn't have to move them and then he moved the couches. He had the carpets cleaned in about half an hour then he put the teflon coating down. He went ahead and did all the hallways as the second room since we were getting a 2 room package. He also said he'd teflon the hall for free if I gave him a tip so I did. My carpet is only a year old but Kaelin has wreaked havoc on it so I'm excited that I didn't have to shampoo it myself this time. Best Mother's Day present ever!

I feel bad that Lucy has been neglected. I took her to the clinic on Friday and Dr Runge said she has fleas and ear infections. I know better, I can't believe I totally missed that. So I gave her a good scrub down in our tub today. I cleaned her ears really good and put medicine in them then put some cortisone lotion on her belly since it's a little rashy. Then I put some Advantix on her. She's on Sentinel for her heartworms and fleas but I guess it's not enough this time of year. Oh and the best thing is, Dr Runge said I can keep my employee discount if I keep their website up! Yay! I was worried about paying for vet bills no that I don't work there anymore. I used Yahoo Site builder and already have a really nice site done for them. I just need to go in tomorrow and get the credit card number so I can switch them over to Yahoo for the hosting of the site. It will be cheaper for them and easier for me to keep updated. Win/win situation I think.
