I went to the dentist yesterday for a quick little appointment. I've been getting major dental work done for the longest time. (My dentist from 1988 'til 2007, it turns out, was a total hack.) Yesterday's appointment was supposed to be fairly small and easy, leading up to my very last new replacement crown on a tooth that didn't appear to be in too bad shape... but y'know, it's hard to take an x-ray through an old crown...
Four and a half hours later, when I left the dentist's office, ...
Ugh, I can't even type it. It's bad. It's expensive. It's painful!
I'm eating soft foods and taking Tylenol 3. Blech. The worst thing is that the drugs are knocking me out. I really want to play with paper!
So not fair. I know I said 2009 was gonna be good, and it probably is, but dang, it's starting off on the wrong stinkin' foot!
Now I get to go call my mother-in-law. She's our insurance agent. Why does dental insurance cover 80% of procedures but only 20% of the prosthetics that cover up the holes?
Heavy sigh. Tomorrow has to be better!

... Great to see you back, Bay...but an excerpt from the DENTIST? Oh, evil! (Sorry to the dentists out there.) I just don't like going there at all. Not one bit. I feel so bad for you and this experience. Hang in there, sweetie! Tricia |
