Just my luck!

So tonight I was *going* to blog about our wonderful day and all the fun things we did. But since I'm in so much friggin pain and too lazy to get my camera out to download all the cute pics from today I'm going to blog about my damn tooth that's killing me!!! No joke! About a month ago I went to my dentist to get one of my wisdom teeth checked out because it chipped and was bothering me just a little. The dentist told me that I should get all four of my wisdom teeth pulled because they're no use to me and they're so hard to clean that another one could be next. BUT....since I am such a dork about doctors and especially dentists AND because my son has health issues that are of more importance I didn't get it done. So then today while we were getting ready for our fun outing my tooth started hurting. No prob, I popped a couple pills and was fine.

Then we went out for a nice family dinner (something we don't get to do a whole lot because eating out it expensive) and OMG my tooth started hurting so bad that I couldn't even eat. As the night went on the pain got worse and I couldn't do anything but cry. My oldest, ya know the one with the cast, was the one taking care of me. Such a little sweety pie! Here she is in a cast, in her own pain and she was getting me a heating pad and rubbing my back while I sobbed. God love her! So I got ahold of my dentist on her cell and she called me back and said that it was probably because the tooth was infected and she called me in two different pain killers (one that would help the pain and help me sleep and one that I could actually function with and drive with) and an antibiotic. My hubs is at the Walgreens picking them up for me right now. So...what am I doing? Well the People that I bought just the other day I've already finished and so I'm blogging about my friggin pain and my luck!

Oh and do you want to know the worst part? Ready for this? We're loosing our health insurance the end of the month! Perfecto! So unless the oral surgeon can get me in asap (THIS WEEK) then I'm friggin screwed! We won't have insurance again until January! Well...that's just my luck! But I really do try to look for the best in every situation so in this situation I'm looking at the fact that it happened now instead of in a couple of weeks when I had *no* insurance! At least right now I can hopefully get in and get it fixed before the end of the month! Well wish me luck! I need it! I'm going to call and try to get in tomorrow morning! This week is hella busy with getting all the kids in for doctors appointments and all their Halloween parties at school and meetings and such! This weeks gonna suck!!!

So that's my drama! Sorry to ramble! Thanks for letting me vent! Tomorrow I will share pics and stuff about the good things that happened today. I promise! ;)

Ouch! I totally feel your pain. A tooth infection is the worst and oral surgeons are so expensive. While you're waiting for the pain meds to kick in try an ice pack, it helps numb the area.

Thanks Cat! I put a heating pad on it and it helped me more than an ice pack for some reason. I didn't know that oral surgeons were expensive! Well, I guess we'll stick it to the damn insurance company while we can! lol

I'm feelin pretty good right now. The Vicodin kicked in finally so I'm off to bed for real now! ;)
