Update Ear/Jaw pain

    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.  ;-)
