Decisions...decisions .....

After a hour and 2o minutes laying in a dentist chair having two pulpectomy's and temp fillings put in. i have to go back next monday to have either ....(A)....2 root canals on my 2 back lower right hand teeth...or.....(B)...one root canal and an extraction of the farthest back tooth.

having the dentist call me with if he really thinks it worth having a root canal on the farthest back one if im going to keep having problems with it. but im also scared to have it pulled too.

decisions decisions! not only is my fear playing a part in how i decide....the cost is also. our insurance covers $1500 / year. i have spent $423 of it so far counting today. if i get the 2 root canals done my total for the year will be $1794....if i get choice (B) then the cost for the year will be $1377. so...if i go the route of just filling them...im going to have to pay $294 over my yearly not counting my 20% off the main price. *sigh*

i know money wise i should just get the back one pulled and get over it. but im scared to death of that. the only other time i had teeth pulled was when i had my wisdom teeth pulled and they had to break and dig them out....i looked like jabba the hut for 2 weeks cuz of swelling and the pain was horrible. but by the look of the xray...it doesnt look like it would be so bad...but you never know. im just scared.

anyway....half my face is numb as well as my tongue... and im drooling...lol very attractive!

looks like our yearly christmas parade tonight is going to be rained out. sucks too...was looking forward to it. rains to be getting worse as the day goes on as well as a high wind warning later today.

im off to watch Ellen and wipe the drool off my face....lol
