It's either laugh or cry
So I go for my twice yearly checkup in July. The Doc indicates that I have a decay under an old crown/root canal, a cavity in the tooth with an ancient filling next to it and some other ancient fillings that needed to be replaced.
The game plan was to take care of the decay under the crown and take care of the cavity on the tooth next to it on one visit and replace the older fillings and set the new crown on the next. As nothing ever goes easy for me, when the Doc started working on the cavity, he discovered that the root was exposed. So hello root canal. So I have to spend too much time finding an endodontist that takes my insurance. Of course my soon to be ex-insurance doesn't cover root canals. My supplement dental plan does but it has a $$ limit.
So I show up at the Endontist with my xray. He takes one look and shows me where there is an issue with the older root canal. Not wanting to have to go back and since he had the time, he redid the old root canal as well as the new one. That's alot of time in the chair people.
I dutifully take my antibotics (luckily I didn't need the pain meds) and all is well. Except today, two weeks after the root canals, one of the teeth starts hurting. So it will be back to the Endontist.
Adding insult to injury as I was leaving the house, I noticed a dead mouse stuck in the framework of a metal basket I throw my keys and sunglasses in when I walk in the door. Now I am fairly certain that it wasn't there yesterday but a week or so ago, the two cats (see post on Ceridwn, Destroyer of Rodents) that are great mousers spent most of the day parked in front of the radiator the basket sits on. I keep telling myself that the little mouse corpse would have smelled pretty bad if it had been there any length of time. I made good use of the yardapault.
