Two Fillings Please, Hold The Root Canal
I have a toothache. Not just any toothache. A molar that I have been ignoring for a long time now. Well actually two, but one isn't hurting as bad. I really need to find a new dentist. I don't want another eight appointments and almost a thousand dollar bill to fix one tooth again. Granted I want it done right but I just can't deal with either right now. This is more of the residual effects of high powered intravenous antibiotics and other drugs, and what happens when you have to deal with tubes down your nose and throat and pure stomach acid not wanting to stay down there where it belongs. It is literally hell on your teeth. The dentist confirmed this last time I was in and told me I had two cavities that needed filled. Since I really was not thrilled with this dentist or his personality I am going to see a different one. I really need to go have it fixed soon.
Meanwhile, I bought a scale yesterday. I have been doing really well for a week now. I weighed myself at the grocery last Friday and over the course of the week I have dropped two and a half pounds according to the scale there. Mine says I have dropped six. Either way, I feel better. I hadn't noticed a huge difference until I was out running errands today and I just physically felt more normal than I have in a long time. If I lose steadily like I think I will by changing my bad habits, I should be back where I want to be in about four months.
