After I dropped the kids off for school on monday I went straight to the dentists office. They were able to fit me in! It was a total blessing.
Well, the dentist looked in my mouth, couldn't see anything wrong. I told him where the pain was, he proceeded to tap each tooth...nothing...till he hit the second tooth from the back on the bottom left side of my mouth...OWWWEEEE!
Well, it was a tooth he had put a porcelain filling in over a year ago. So, he took some xrays...the xrays showed darkening in the roots.
So, he told me I needed a root canal. After being told which arm and leg it was going to cost me, I agreed and signed my name in blood. LOL. Thank God for 12 months no interest payments!
While drilling, once he got near the nerve, I felt sharp pain...and guess where?! MY EAR! So, for the past couple of months, me thinking it was ear pain....it was tooth/nerve pain!!!!
So, after 45 minutes of drilling and filling, I was sent home with antibiotics and pain pills. I go back in next week to get the tooth capped...again, thank God for payments!
Anyhow, if I have been rude to you, or irritable...or just wierder than normal...this is probably why, and I am sorry...lol, no seriously...I am sorry. ;-)

Ear Pain
OMG THE PAIN....(repost from my email)
Ok, mid day yesterday I started having bad jaw pain, same side as my hurting ear...so I assumed they must be related in some way. The pain would come and go and eventually by evening was so bad I wanted to slam my head against something to make that pain stop! I searched through my kitchen cabinets and found my Ultram (pain meds) and I am so thankful I still have some available.
After I drop the kids off at school, I am going to go and plead with my dentist to see me...I pray he can fit me in. I woke up barely being able to bite down. I am telling ya, I had a crappy week last week, and this one isn't starting off too well either. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this morning.
Hugs to all my friends.
