Now.. backtrack just a bit.. Thursday night Hannah said her throat hurt.. A trip to Minute Clinic and a strep test later.. the quick test was negative.. OK great.. fine.. no problem.. she just needed rest.. well.. Saturday afternoon.. after the movie.. after Kyla went home.. I get a call.. the long test came back positive.. GREAT!! TERRIFIC!! This is the 2nd time in 2 months.. the Nurse Practitioner was concerned.. Hannah could hear me on the phone with her.. so she was all upset.. Trip to Target for Antibiotics.. and a recommendation to see her pediatrician.. OK fine..
Somewhere in there.. oh that's right.. while we were at the movie.. 1/2 of a tooth fell off.. NOTHING happening.. just broke right off.. IN THE FRONT!! so I call the dentist I work for and explain that tooth #6 (the tooth from hell...) broke.. and it's sharp.. YOU know what he asks me?? So should we pull it today?? WHAT?? HU?? UM.. NO!!!! just fix me up.. yeah, I know I need to do something... (when hell freezes over)... but not today!! HELLO!!
So this is my option.. an IMPLANT for the tooth.. which requires that I have the tooth pulled and bone grafting done.. then ANOTHER surgery to put the implant in!! WHICH is just what it looks like... a screw!! granted it's titanium.. but it is still a screw!!!
So my weekend, which at one point looked so promising.. turned into something awful..
I just wonder what I did for all this bad karma....

OH, I did do some stamping though.. so there is a bright spot.. I will take some pics and post them soon..

yikes - sorry to hear about your tooth mishap!!!
Oh boy! Hugz.
Hope to hear you all get better soon.
Tomorrow is a new day...
Oh, poor you! We can commiserate together.
It's funny you don't like dentists. I can't figure out why anyone wants to spend their day looking in peoples' mouths. Tongues are gross. And so are teeth up close. But that's just me.
I'm back on Friday for 2 more hours of root canal. I have a great dentist, just arrived a few months ago from San Fran so I'll be less nervous (but no happier) this time around!
Will he give you a sedative for the surgery?? DID YOU CALL KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and hello stupid, don't you think some sort of temp would be a good idea before you pull the tooth so your RDH doesn't look like a gapped tooth wonder???!!!!
I hate teeth problems, and I have enough of my own so I can relate. Hang in there and take care!
