No Luck At All
So the tooth drama continues. If I were cool..or psychic, I would have foreseen this and made a cool little tooth drama diary. But I'm not, so we get stuck with random little updates.
It's been 2 1/2 months now. 10 weeks! So I've been scrambling trying to get a specialist to see me about my tooth. I thought it was the tooth with the crown that I just had put on last summer, but no....It's the tooth that I just had filled not once...But twice!! It's right next to the crown tooth, so close they are touching, so that's why I couldn't really pinpoint which tooth it was. Anyway, the endo-specialist said that I have three options.
1) Have a crown put on it with no guarantee that that would fix the problem.
2) Have a root canal and crown put on it..that would fix the problem but would also cost $1,000.00
3) Have it pulled - which he didn't recommend because I'm young and the tooth could be saved.
I was like...yeah I'm young and broke unless you wanna do it for free! Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to have the root canal and I totally would take out a loan if it was a front tooth or one of the smaller molars near the front...but we're talking the very VERY back molar on the top...most people get these taken out anyway because of crowding. So I'm like, just pull it. OKAY!
Well, to make a long story short and to cut through all of the miscommunication he can't pull it until July 8. *blinks* So I go to my dentist and he will not pull it either. I call around and FINALLY find a oral surgeon that can fit me in tomorrow because they've had a cancellation. I've never met ANYONE who has had so much trouble to get a dumb tooth fixed. And my dentist keeps calling in antibiotics and pain killers that I'm going to be a drug addict with a yeast infection from HELL!!!
Keep your fingers crossed that everything gets taken care of VERY SOON!
On a completely different note I just saw the new release "RUNNING SCARED" with Paul Walker. Oh my gosh, what a FANTASTIC movie! I can't recommend it enough. Although it has SO MUCH bad language that eventually they were having complete conversations using nothing but the f-word. It's funny how by just changing the tone of your voice one simple word can take on so many different meanings. :p

I told you I can pull it, it would only take a second, and then no pain. Well, there will be some pain, some horrible, bone-chilling pain, but only for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteOnly a few more days and your trauma should be over---Though I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I think that Raspy is lying down on the job--the jerk! Anyway....I'm sending the best thoughts your way, babe! Nothing but the best for you. ^____^ Much zebra here!
