Sorry to say the "fix" is going to involve re-doing TWO old root canals that have failures in them. And that's the BEST case scenario. After a radiologist evaluates the CT scan, it's possible that more extensive work may be involved. I'm very upset about the cost; I can hardly think straight.

Wow! Can you share a picture?
Mine had such long, straggling "arms" that I trimmed it back a few weeks ago. I'm waiting for signs that it's okay. It seems healthy, but I'll feel better when I see some signs of new growth. I hope I'll still get buds this holiday season!

Sorry to hear that, Merry~
Thinking of you.
I will organize a tea & dessert get together for moral support

Good thing I'm having my lunch now - I'm not too hungry!

3 years ago when I had the flu I wasn't hungry.

Good morning to all my Christmas loving friends !

Praying for all of you that your situations will be better soon and for healing for those who need it.
Pray also for pets who are not doing so good, may they soon be up and running about again.
I cannot reply to each post as I tend to be a tad busy with life here.
But I do read as much as I can when time allows.
You are all in my thoughts often.

I am working on a renaissance style for LittleCS. Got my garden all set up and hope to get plants in this weekend. Have a union meeting to go to tonight. Then I work the next 3 days plus have to take mom to my brothers place on Friday. Have to finish my digital photography course by Friday too. I think that is all for now. I am sure there was something else in there somewhere.

I have a new neighbour right outside my bedroom window

Anyway, back to work, lunch is over
Have a great day everyone !

Hey Christmasstar! Have a good one.

Thank you ... I missed having tea this morning because of the appointment.
If MMC hugs were dollars, I'd never worry about the cost!

Russell said the second opinion confirmed the diagnosis. I'm so sad.

This is the hard part about praying; when you don't get what you ask for. Still, I'm praising the Lord for the blessings in my life!

I'm sorry, Brad.
Praying hard for Russell and his family~
Sending hugs to you.

That's about all one can do.

In those situations, I think about a quote in one of my all-time favorite books:
"I don’t know how to explain it. Nobody does, though a lot try. But I know He sees it bigger than we do, and maybe He is working at something that isn’t finished yet."

I am so sorry to hear that Merry!! I hope after the radiologist reviews the CT scan, things are much better than expected. But most important, wishing for a painless procedure for you! xx

I will try to remember to take a picture tonight! I was wondering the same thing if it will bloom at Christmas. This was my SIL's plant, so I'm not sure when it was blooming for her.
