If you haven't been reading my blog, shame on you! Just kidding. If you haven't then you don't know that I have been dealing with sick, puking kids for about a month now and that I was lucky enough to get that wonderful little virus last week for the second time. It's been real fun around here. God was nice enough to let us enjoy Thanksgiving weekend but then Monday, we were back to reality with all the puking. Everyone is finally better now and my house smells like bleach and carpet cleaner. I pray we don't have to go threw this again for a long time.
Then Sunday morning happened. I woke up in such excruciating pain. This is probably the closest pain to labor I have ever felt. I took some pain meds and it didn't work. Finally after and hour and half, the pain meds started helping. Except, they made me sick. So back to puking.
What was wrong, you ask.
A toothache or abscess or something. Let me explain.
I broke a tooth awhile ago and haven't taken care of it for a couple of reasons. One, buying Christmas presents for my family and paying all the bills. Two, we don't have dental insurance and I know this will be very expensive. And Three, it wasn't really bothering me.
Ha! That was until yesterday. I was seriously on the phone trying to find a dentist to come in on a Sunday to 'fix' me. Hubby just sat there kinda worried because he knew it would be expensive, especially for an emergency visit on a Sunday, but didn't say a word for fear of his own life. I was serious about this and looked for over 2 hours. Luckily, I didn't find one. I say luckily because I made it to today alive and got to do our much needed Christmas shopping. Almost all done!
I have an appointment at 3pm today. They said it would probably take at least 3 visits to fix. If only I had taken care of this earlier. I could just have to tooth pulled but my parents spent way to much on my beautiful smile to do that. I had braces TWICE! So, it will probably end up being a root canal and a cap. Does that hurt? I have never even had a cavity filled before.
So wish me and my pocket book luck. We NEED it!!!!
I feel like such a whiny ass lately!
Oh ya, since I'm whining, I might as well tell you what happened last night. Smiley gave me a busted, swollen, bloody lip. He accidentally head butted me HARD. I'm hoping it was an accident. He can't really be that mean, right? Yep, that was a perfect ending to my perfect day.

I am NOT a fan of the dentist...ackkkk good luck today
Oh my goodness, what a go you guys have been having over there! Listen, during my first pregnancy I cracked two of my teeth during a brief fascination with jawbreakers and I had never had a cavity filled before either. I was a dental work virgin! I ended up having to have a crown put on one of the teeth I cracked. It turned out to be no biggie at all. The novocaine doesn't hurt much, and I made my dentist give me three shots of it. Just let him/her know if you still feel pain and they will keep giving you shots until you're totally numb. I think a lot of people make the mistake of letting the dentist work on them when they're not completely numb. So just keep on shooting the novocaine! Good luck!
I think you might need to crawl into a hole for a month or two. J/K!!! I hope your appointment goes well and that you start feeling relief soon. And I'm sure the Smiley incident was an accident. :) {HUGS}
Oh, that sounds just awful. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain but if I hurt my mouth in any way - forget it!
Good luck at the dentist for both you and your paycheck!
I loathe the dentist but I've had a root canal before and it wasn't too bad.
Good luck!
OUCH! I totally feel your pain!
I had a tooth/gums get infected about a year and half ago and the pain was so severe, you can't even describe it! I hate the dentist but finally gave in and had it pulled out and I felt soooooooooooooooooooo much better!
And yes, seems like the kids I nanny for have been sicks since school started....nasty year for germs I guess.
You must have a real purty mouth right about now. How'd the dentist visit go?
Well, crap. You just can't catch a break these days. I'm so sorry about your tooth stuff. We don't have dental insurance, either, and I can't even remember the last time I went to the dentist...I hope you're able to get it taken care of quickly and painlessly! I'm so sorry!
