Ouch! It's been a painful weekend for me, my root canal failed!
That means horrible tooth pain over the weekend.
The dentist office has a dentist on call
BUT the phone wasn't working...
I know I called Fri. night,
Sat. morning, Sat. afternoon, Sun. morning,
Sun. night and finally Monday morn at 8 am sharp
I finally got through.
At 8:20 I was at the dentist office.
I left at 9:30 with prescriptions for antibiotics and painkillers.
The pharmacist at WAL-MART murrieta
was a jerk and took so long I just took the papers back
and went to my 11am meeting with a specialist.
More xrays and the kindest, gentlest people ever.
Had to get the gum lanced to relieve infection, pus squirted, GROSS.
The assistant was like OOOOOO and the doctor said keep sucking it up!
Aah the pressure eased.
You should get this root canal redone,
No thanks it's the third time it's failed.
(did you think once a root canal is done you'll never have a problem with that tooth again?)
(Usually, but not always!)
Went to Walgreens for meds, They said about an hour
(just like wal-mart)
And then had them for me in 20 minutes.
Bless you walgreens.
Home to take meds and rest.
Cheek looks like there's a golf ball in mouth.
jaw is sore!
Waiting for infection to clear and then pull that bad boy
and get a dental implant$$$$
No more trips to Maui,
I'll be paying for a pain free mouth instead.

I have BAD teeth too. I am a big wimp at the dentist. My file is like 10 inches thick because of all the "special notes" concerning my "needs". And I'm proud of every single one of my special needs!
Love the pic on the side bar of you. It's so perfect. I need to ask you a super secret question tomorrow at church. Shhh...it's soo secret. But sooo fun.
Your stories always make me laugh because you are so good at telling them. I am so sorry you are in so much pain. I too love the picture of you. I want a super secret question too:O
I'm LOVING your blog! Oh, AND your cute picture on the side bar.
Look what Heidi has done, now we all want in on the super secret question thing. Shame on Heidi for peaking our curiosity!;)
(BTW, this is Molly Wood, from church)
I love this blog. Why haven't I been here yet?
I too have a failed root canal. no fun. It's been redone twice and I still have issues.
You can put my 5 dollars I owe your towards your dental bills. That is....if I ever remember to pay you!!!!!!!!!!!
