Update on today

So day got a bit better after I wrote that other post this morning that I just put up.

Got kids finished dressed, and out of the house, got JC in Chris' car and he took JC to school. Took kids to Debi's house, dropped them off, went off to the endodontist and worked myself up to actually go in. Found out root canals' not counting the costs of the crown or cap after their done is like $970.00 before insurance.... My jaw about hit the floor. So the girl explained to me that that was how much they are, the negotiated cost withmy insurance co was 770, and my portion of it is 77.60. Now that was assuming that I needed a root canal on the tooth that I already had a crown on. That being said, after dumping the money on the crown, 77 aint nuthing to finish off that tooth!! So I've now gotten x-rays done on my top teeth. Dentist comes in, shows me that the roots of my tooth that I had capped look good, and they do sit right there on the edge of my sinus cavity. So he can see that I have some hyper-sensitivity going on on that tooth. He took something that he said was just going to be cold, and took it along my teeth, and tapped along them too. Nothing was conclusive. Then we checked the bottom ones to see if those are the ones that are the problem, and OMG Tiffany went fetal position on the dentists chair when he put that stupid thing right between those two teeth I just got filled. I screamed, then I cried. I was so embarrased. I mean, here I am 26 years old, he just touched it, and I'm crying from the paid and all dizzy and stuff. He appologised, he didn't realize just how sensitive those teeth were (even though I did say that they were sensitive). He then had the girl do an x-ray of the bottom teeth, and those also looked like they were having some hyper sensitivity, but the root systems he said were very much alive *insert chuckle by me here followed by a "No Sh**" and a sigh* But he was very nice, and was genually concerned about what is going on in my mouth. He didn't just want to start doing a root canal on a tooth that may not be the problem. He is almost positive it is not an infection as I've been on anti-biotics for like 5 days now I think. He wanted to make sure that it's not a sinus problem (just double check), so he's having me go into the doctors office just to make sure. So tomorrow I get to go to the doctors at 4 in the afternoon.

So i went to pick up the kids, and we hung out there til like 11ish, and then Sean and Sky decided they wanted to stay with Deb, and she was ok with that because she knew my mouth was killing me. So Serena and I got home, and hung out together, played abit, then she went down for a nap at like 1:30, and she stayed down until 3:30 almost! Mommy got a good nap today I was so happy! Then the kids came home 5:30 with Debi, she was going to use the computer.

This afternoon Debi came by to do her online testing thing that she had to do, and it was giving her some hickups so she'll be coming back by tomorrow to finish it up. She'll be here about 10 am.

Sunday I'm having family from out of town come over for dinner, we're just going to hang out and have pizza, it'll be fun.

So that's enough of my rambling, vicodine has kicked in. I had to take it because of the pain *sadness*


Love to all,
Tiffany and Family
