This weekend was so super awesome. I spent it writhing in pain over a tooth I had cracked a couple of months ago. Not wanting to put my family in any more financial dept and not having dental anymore, I chose to ignore it until I had the money to get it fixed.
It decided it wanted to be fixed now, because I cannot open my mouth more than a couple of inches and the pain is, well, terrible.
On a positive note: can't open mouth= crash diet!
So today I will be at an emergency dentist appointment while my neighbors watch baby K and my twins are in school. There goes the nap I scheduled at 3 am when K decided 2-4am would be a fun time to play!
Pray that I don't' get molested (did I ever tell you about my old dentist who was caught fondling women in the "chair'? If I get felt up, during ANY doctor's visit, I expect that visit to be free. Bottom line)
It is perfect timing though because it is delurking day. My hits to comment ratio is just not right, so I know you are there but I need more from you. This is a symbiotic relationship.
In lieu of food I will take some comments, so delurk now.

I dislike dentists too :) After recent total mouth makeover I have lost about 10 pounds THAT is the only thing a dentist is good for lol Good luck and I hope you aren't in any pain when you are done. And LOL on the feel up comment!
ReplyDeleteI love going to the dentist, but only to get my teeth cleaned. And if I got felt up in the process that would be a bonus IF my dentist was hot, which my dentist is not.
ReplyDeleteMy dentist is H.O.T., so I guess I'd ask for a moment to think about it if he came in after viewing my Xrays and said I needed some work down and could pay for it with a little touch.
ReplyDeleteHa!
Oh, seriously, I do hope you end this day feeling a better, and that you get some rest tonight!
I hope the dentist visit went well and was painless (or at least they ponied up good meds). I've been lurking here for at least a year and I love your blog, especially how honest it is compared to the shiny happy mommy type.
ReplyDeleteHappy Delurking Day, and good luck with your move :)
Oh girly girl...that just sucks!!! I hate tooth drama. And you don't need it right now with all you have going on!
ReplyDeleteHi! Happy Delurking Day! I have been lurking on your blog for a while now via one of my dearest friend's blogs. Sorry about the dental drama. My dentist said told me that dental problems are passed down through the mother. Thanks ma! I had full perio surgery a year and a half ago, two root canals and I'm getting two crowns next month. All on an LAUSD teacher's dental plan!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not a lurker as I just stopped over today from Mommy Doesn't Live Here Anymore, but I'm happy to leave you some comment love!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your tooth pain. My husband is a dentist and he sees a fair share of people in your state. Its truly no fun!
From the other side of things, have you ever thought about how hard it is to be a person that everyone hates to see? As in, "Oh, Dr. so-and-so I would rather be at the GYN than here!" It takes its toll, trust me.
P.S. My dentist is TOTALLY HOT! :)
M, yes I think about how dentist have the highest suicide rates. For the record I never minded the dentist until mine turned out to be a molester.
ReplyDeleteNow I hate the dentist because it is going to hurt! wah!
Ive been following your poor dental drama via twitter on my phone. I have been avoiding the computer mostly until today. Im sorry you are having such a rough time :(
ReplyDeleteYep. We are here. Sorry about the tooth. Ironically, I just did a post about dental health and a crest oral b giveaway! Can you believe it? Read here:

I am so sorry. Going to the dentist sucks but tooth pain sucks more. Ouch.
