So I am not a big baby after all...

Went back to the dentist today after having a really LONG night last night. The pain was almost unbearable. I went in thinking "maybe" my tolerance for pain was not as high as I thought....

The hubby thought I was just milking it.

After being a work for a few hours I could not take it anymore. Seeing how I could not really take a narcotic at work and drive my car, I called the hubby and he came to pick me up at home for my appointment.

Dry sockets. It almost felt as if every 5 seconds an electric current was passed through my nerves in my bottom jaw.

The MOST PAINFUL thing EVER!! On 2 of the 3 teeth I had pulled. They stuff this really gross stuff into the sockets after taken out the stitches...

Sweet relief.

I think I may need to sell a kidney


No Joke.

I got my wisdom teeth out. All 3 of them. (Weird huh? That I only have 3?) Anyways, with my lovely Gov insurance that I PAY OUT THE ASS FOR it is STILL going to cost

$910!!!

Dude. Serious. Who has that kinda cash laying around? I mean I have the option of just letting them grow and grow and then cause me frustration in the future. But seeing how I am currently insured (if you can call it that) I decided to take the leap.

So far so good. I am feeling a little outside myself and the pain... well its pain. And I hate it. But so far the Dr and the hubby have been very diligent in not letting me see any blood or needles.

So I am good. The ice is working more than the medication right now. I figure seeing how many drugs I took when I broke my neck my body is just "laughing" saying shit like

"Right you used to take 20-30 vicodin a day honey, and other fun drugs to add to your cocktail, flexeril, valium, soma..... you really think this little itty bitty pill is going to help?"

I have been through worse. Mush worse. This is a walk in the park...

So I went to the dentist for a cleaning....

And I found out I had 2 cavities. Ugg. I have NEVER had a cavity in my life. I was scared to death to go get them filled.

1. Well because I did not know what to expect not having ever had one.

2. The needle.

So I went yesterday shaking like a leaf and feeling like I was going to pass out or barf. Well I told them straight up. "If I see the needle I will pass out cold on you"

It was painless more or less. They only had to freeze one tooth and that felt really weird. The most painful part was the $272.50 that I had to pay out of pocket!!

$272.50. And that is with FULL GOVERNMENT INSURANCE!!

I am floored. I have only ever had cleanings and those are covered %100 but $272.50~~WITH INSURANCE!!!

Wow I can not even believe that. And I was so shell shocked because I have never paid anything directly to the dentist. And I was not expecting a $272.50 bill the minute I walked out from getting my fillings done?? So strange to me. $300 is a lot of money.

So no shoes for me for a bit..... Unless they are REALLY cute and I HAVE to have them?

What?
