HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY.

for real.

So i've had this chipped molar for a while now but it never bothered me, so I kept putting off going to the dentist, of course. Well, in the past few weeks, it's woken me up in the middle of the night throbbing...but then in the morning it would be gone, so I kept putting it off. Well, last night around 3am I woke up with it throbbing again, like never before. And I couldn't go back to sleep. And it continued to feel worse and worse. I tried to sleep on ice in a ziploc (so annoying). Didn't work. I tried to put warm towels on my cheek. Didn't work. So at 8am when the dentist office opened I called and made appointment. Thankfully they could get me in today...at 2:30. But that still meant I had another 6 1/2 MISERABLE hours to deal with. Ahhhhh! HELL.

They did a couple of x-rays on that tooth (after phone calls to my OB making sure that was ok)...and what do you know....ROOT CANAL. So she decides to show broke, pregnant, emotional, in pain me a HUGE bill. So there I was, bawling in the dentist's office. Bawling because it's pay up or suffer in tremendous pain forever. I eventually got the money part figured out, and then had to call my OB again to make sure a freakin' root canal was ok. She talked to the dentist and ok'ed that as well- even is going to let me take Vicodin if I need it (so far so good, gonna hold out until/if completely necessary). So they proceeded to give me a total of 6 shots of Novocaine in the next 15 minutes. Half of my face was numb and felt HUGE (it is not uncommon for me to need extra number, I always end up feeling the drilling 2 mins into it, unfortunately).
