Teeth

Today I had the day off, which may on the surface sound good!  It wasn't really.  It started well but quickly the shine wore off!  I dropped Levi off at school and then went to the dentist.  On the days that I have off and Levi is at school, I generally try to schedule any appointments and chores.  So I went to the dentist to fix my back bottom molar.  It had been filled about three years ago when it started to not like the pressure that my grinding teeth exerted on it.  My wonderful dentist gets about half way through and in one of those moments that you get to sit up a bit and swallow freely, I said to her;

"Can you please make the filling white this time and not black?"

She paused.  Let me tell you a pause from a dentist is never a good thing!  She said;

"Actually, I am trying to decide something much more important.  I am trying to decide if it is even possible to save this tooth at all."

OK, now that wasn't what I was expecting but might explain some of the pain that I had been experiencing.  The tooth now has a vertical crack from the top to the bottom. If the crack went all the way to the root it was unsalvagable.  So she goes back to it and sure enough the crack is the whole way through.  I will need it extracted.  She patched it up but tonight I feel like someone has punched me in the side of my jaw.  With all the manipulation, my jaw muscles and the jaw itself just aches.  So instead of coming home and having some down time, it was off to get in depth and complicated jaw X-Rays to see how complicated that extraction will be. 

Next I was off to give plasma.  With the Easter holiday road toll, the Red Cross called me at home and begged me to come in and give plasma.  I figured it was the least I could do.

Than I came home and babysat Jordyn, Pam's little girl so she could go for a run. 

Yep this is my interesting life!  Levi and my eye appointments were cancelled by the office and for that I am exceptionally grateful!  I think that I didn't have enough energy for another set of appointments!  It is shaping up to be a really busy weekend again!
