I can't believe I'm telling people to...but watch it tonight. It's our episode.
And while I have you all, I want to tell you about a little lesson learned today. I had a pounding pain in my face Fri, Sat and Sun. Knew it was a root canal situation. I have NOT been to the dentist since December of 2002.
Aka, when I left Alabama. So I'm fine, brush my teeth, no problems, then this. So I go to the dentist. She lectures me, I have to go back for another root canal, I have a cracked crown I didn't know about, been grinding my teeth, ect. She said she always gets 26-28 year olds who pull the same thing. Didn't have dental insurance or didn't know where to go to the dentist and now I have about $5k worth of work done ahead of me in the next month.
So here's the story from today. I go yesterday, she refers me to a endodonist. Fine. I get in with an emergency appointment at 8AM. X-ray me and they see there is infection and we need a root canal. So he goes to numb and he has to numb in my swollen, infected gums. Hurts like hell. So he double numbs me seeing that the infection fights off the Novacaine. So he starts working, the pressure from the infection, which he realized once he got in, is killing me. I'm brave, we get through it, but the throbbing on my face is so unbearable from the pressure. So he takes a scalpel and literally cuts a slit in my gum to relieve the pressure- especially since I'm flying Thurs to NY.
So then I get out and they hit me with an $800 co-pay. Boom, dial mom, hand over phone, start crying. I can't quit crying. Walk to my car, spit blood for about 15 minutes. Still crying.
Now that I've calmed down, I'm doing a little better, but now I've learned my lesson about 2 cleanings a year.
Thank you, and good night.
And don't laugh at me in my dyke vest on Tori and Dean.
And just know, that the giftbags were my project. A lot of donations. All donations.
