Almost the last visit

Today I went to the dentist this morning. :D good news because im almost done ! I've overcome the hardest things this month. I've gotten my teeth cleaned, two crowns, a root canal, and the last thing I am going to get next week will be a filling that I urgently need before it gets worse. If I could and I hadn't maxed out my dental insurance for the year I would get everything done- a couple more fillings, and my teeth whitened. Ha ha I guess you could say that I've become mildly obssesed with wanting to get my teeth fixed but I needed to. I think after next week I'll be done with my teeth for the rest of the year, hopefully.

Im not going to lie at first I was feeling very overwhelmed with everything that I had to get done. I almost cried in the dentist office. Luckily my dentist and assistant have been very nice and helpful. They're so patient and explain everything to me just like I want them to. The more I went the more I became confident and comfortable.

So Monday is my next appointment and its going to be a piece of cake.

Ill wrap this post up with a picture of the time I went to get my root canal taken care of and I was very numb and soar on one side of my face. Can you guess what side I had the root canal at? I'll give you a hint I'm trying to smile in the picture but this is how all my pictures turned out and no matter how hard I tried they all looked the same.




Love ya!

I survived!

I survived the root canal! :)

I kept telling my husband things like "If i die please know that I love you very much and find someone for you who will take care of you.." Ha ha OF course I was kidding but me being dramatic like I always am had to say those kinds of things.

It started at 11:00 am- and i got done at around 1:30 pm. Talk about a long time at the dentist- AGAIN!. The good thing is I took care of it now and this will solve my problems with that horrible tooth ache Ive been having.

Honestly, it wasnt as bad as i had imagined. Everyone I talked to was scarying me more and more, Next time I wont listen to anyone and only talk to professionals. They always know how to explain things and they know whats really going on. I will admit though hearing the drill is the worst!! Oh and two kind of funny sad things was 1. the dental assistant that hasnt been working with my teeth (so the other older lady) totally gave me a fat lip because she accidently got my lip- OUCH. 2. The dentist burned the inner side of my upper lip with his tool- so I had a whole bunch of distractions going on around my mouth. But besides all that stuff and after keeping my mouth wide open for what felt like 3 hours I finally was free. I came out with one side of my face swollen and numb, so when I smiled I looked soooo goofy. I still kind of do because of my fat lip on one side.

The thing that stinks is I didnt get to be with my baby all day. Hes been working on the boat, and then I was getting ready for my appmt. While I was at the dentist he went to work. He wont get off until 11 pm, im pretty sure I am going to pass out before he comes home. I seriously have had slepless nights for about an entire week, and I dont even have a baby yet. ha ha

I am so happy it is over. And after next week hopefully if everything goes well I will have my two crowns and wont need to see the dentist for at least a couple months. YAY! It's been fun playing catch up but really its beginning to burn a hole in my pocket.

PS Im so excited its wednesday and only one more day to start my weekend. YAY!
Oh and its my best friends daughters 2nd birthday so HAPPY early BIRTHDAY TO HAILIE!

I cant wait to go to my bed tonight. :)

Why ?

Why is it when Im feeling my all time worst that I have a million things to do and I dont have the energy or patience to do anything. Also, I feel horrible and I ran into like three people I know at Wal-mart, and some other people at several other stores. Its funny how life can be like that at times.
I must tell you how much
I can't wait to get tomorrow over with.
Im a hot mess right now. I cant really eat comfortably, chew gum, go longer than eight hours without a pain killer, sleep, and have some good ol fun like I would like to.

Anyways, I know Im complaining and being a baby but it sucks bad. Ive never gone through this so it also makes me nervous about seeing the dentist tomorrow.
I do have to confess that my dentist office is awesome! They are so good at what they do and I can tell that they are there to help me. I can also tell they love their job. I am looking forward to seeing my friends tomorrow. Ha Ha I have a feeeling that by when this year is over I am going to become best friends with them. They are going to know me so well. I feel like they already do. :P
Thats all the complaining I have for today. I will keep you posted as to how this root canal turns out. Time to catch a nap since I couldnt sleep but four hours last night.


Love,

I spoke too soon

Ive been in pain all weekend.
Its been hard to sleep.
And Im so ready for this to be over.

I made an appointment with my dentist to get my first root canal.
:/
Wednesday at 11am.
I just want to fast forward and get this over with.

Besides that lifes pretty good and I was as prodctive as possible while being on pain meds. At least im taking care of it right?


Love,

Dentist Visit

So I had my first visit since I had my X-rays done. And let me tell you it was much better than I expected.

I think what worked me up was the fact that I hadnt gone to the dentist in many years. So I dont remember how anything felt. I mean I havent been since I was little. I know Im a bad girl - but don't worry I am paying for it now. I woke up at around 730 ish so that I could go to my appointment that was at 8. It began with the dental hygenist! FUN stuff- jajaja . She worked on my teeth for about an hour. Then I went to the dentist for about two hours more. Yep thats right I didnt have a type-o I was at the denstist for about 3 hours. I thought it would take a while but not that long. It's okay though because it wasnt as scary as I had been imagining. I had two crowns, and possibly I was going to have to take care of two root canals. Luckily the dentist said its really up to me because I will be able to tell if I get a toothache. So far everything seems good enough that I wont be needing any root canals! THANK GOODNESS!. I am going to pray that it remains that way.

Anyways I must tell you what I was thinking about while I was sitting in the chair as the dentist is drilling my teeth. I was thinking about how grateful I am for the advancement in the technology and the all the people who seek such hard careers. Such as a dentist, pharmacist, and doctors. All those things require so much schooing and I know its not easy but Im very thankful for their ability to fix me up. ha ha .


Once I got out I was starving so my husband and I got to go to Jamba Juice and Panda. It was the best jamba juice Ive ever had.

I am so happy thats over. Phew.



Love,

I am a big baby, i know.

WARNING!
I am super grumpy this week. You might want to keep your distance from me.

Get this:
I have to get a million things done to my teeth and I am not a happy camper. It's going to cost a grip. I went to get X-rayed and I got back pretty bad news. Im bummed, sad, and stressed.
I seriously almost cried to the dental assistant. I am so thankful that she was so nice because that made me feel so much better. I am so glad that I went there because they all treated me super nice and it felt right.

Anyways I have to get so much dental work and Im feeling so sad about it. On top of that I am PMSING!!!!!!!!
Sorry if its TMI but is my blog.

I need some chocolate.

Lets hope this week gets better. At least i get to go home to my adorable husband.

:)
