I am getting my wisdom teeth out Monday. (Yes, that's the bad news.) Well, I guess you could say the bad news is that my medical insurance doesn't cover the anesthesia so I'm not going to be put out. Can you say ?
The good news is that this will probably FINALLY give me enough time to finish the project. Hooray!
I hope you meant "no general anaesthetic", rather than "no anaesthetic at all"? I had mine out with local anaesthetic, and although the noises can be a bit disconcerting, I didn't actually feel anything (other than the needles for the local anaesthetic, but that was soon forgotten). In the evening I was munching the Dutch version of pork scratchings -- and belive me, they need a good bite

I get quite nervous whenever I go to the dentist, actually, and need them to give me laughing gas whenever I have shots or fillings. But, no, I am only getting the shots and an anti-anxiety pill, they are not putting me out. It isn't covered under my insurance. I really hope that the pill works for me- I'm not very good at dealing with these things!
Had a slow day at work yesterday and every ten minutes I said, "I could be stitching right now..." but unfortunately I had left everything at my boyfriend's house. So later that night he watched a movie and I curled up on the couch next to him and got a lot done! I am on my way. I am sure today and tomorrow (as long as I feel up to it after the surgery) are all I really need to finish it.
But I do have a question. On her right (our left) of her shirt, the back stitching is lifting up. When you have a long straight back stitch that doesn't really touch any corners, how do you keep it tight?? I thought I had done a good job but when I look at it (not in the picture) I see how loose it is.

Oh, thanks for the link- I am going to check that out!
And yes, Jilly, when I stretch it I find that the thread isn't so loose. I was worried for a minute that it wouldn't work out and I'd have to redo that part.
Got no progress done today- was on here the whole time!
But I am sure that tomorrow ... uh... Monday, after my surgery I will be finishing it if I am not too swollen or "out of it" with the Vicodin...
I feel fine- so far! *crosses fingers, knock on wood*
The process itself didn't go so well- the sleeping pill they gave me calmed my nerves a bit but the shots and the surgery was pretty rough. Fortunately, it only lasted about 5 minutes total (the actual extraction of both teeth) and it's all downhill from here! Now I'm sitting here with gauze in my mouth- watching Dirty Dancing and now Enchanted and then probably Les Miserables... and I've got the Big Girl Panties right here!! Thanks for all your warm wishes- it means a lot.
*I take my hat off to u* Ur so brave, i would have never have been able to have done this, i hate havin to use a knife and folks at most times as the sound of them grating on teeth just goes through me but to have both out is just
I had one tooth out but never ever again while im awake EVER.
Im so glad ur feelin fine and i will keep everything crossed for u to. *crosses everything* I really think this lady deserves a PARTY once she can get all the lovely
So glad that you are doing so well. Both my kids had problems when they had theirs out but I did fine. Had the local and had all 4 pulled, no ill effects on me, I was up in hours taking care of two small children so good luck to you and I hope your big girl panties are soon done.
This cake is very soft so you can have it.
