Mouth Update #????

It's been awhile since I've given an update. On Friday AM i had more excruciating pain with my ears, mouth, etc Seriously, labor was easier then all of this! I called the dentist and said it was getting worse, I can't even remember what his response was. But DH ended up having to call him b/c i was in pure agony. I couldn't talk, think, anything, all i could do is weep in pain. OK BAWL/scream/moan (you get the idea) in pain.
They told me to come right in, that he would drill in to that tooth and release the pressure. They did just that. They had to give me so many shots to numb it, it was incredible. Doc couldn't believe how much he pumped into me. You'd think i wouldn't be able to feel my mouth for a week, and quite honestly that would have been fine with me.
My nerves were indeed shot to that tooth. I'm not sure i understand all the lingo but he explained it as a hall way and each nerve is a door way. All three doors were shut. When that happens it leaks gases?? in to the body which in turn gives one the pain.
The next question was, was that the only tooth bothering me or do i have another one going bad on top? It was quite the process of drilling, shots, more drilling, suctioning and something tasted HORRIBLE. It took all my brain power to not throw up.
Ever since being pregnant and having bad AM sickness throwing up isn't near the struggle it used to be. But i didn't puke, thank GOD! I left there feeling better and i can honestly say i feel 80% better.
I'll have a root canal done on that tooth a week from Tuesday. All of this done and NO dental insurance. Totally sucks right now and i was getting all worked up about the bills. I even asked if i could trade steaks for teeth work. My parents have been great at calling every day to see how I'm doing and listening to me break down Thursday as i wondered how i was ever going to come out of this.
DH's glasses broke Thursday AND that evening someone called to say the cows were out. His Dad came barreling down the road with a hay bail on the front of the tractor and plowed right in to DH's mail car. I'm glad i wasn't there to hear all that yelling. Then his brother tried to fix it and broke the radiator!
So really this all is horrible timing. No money b/c we haven't started harvesting yet and just paying month to month bills is becoming a struggle. Ah the joys of farming and insurance. My Dad did tell me not to worry about the dental bills as they'd take care of all of that. I don't know how i feel about that b/c then i feel they have a level of control on what you do choose to spend money on once you have it back again.
Will muddle thru it all I'm sure. Always do.(purses anyone? Wallets? i have great deals) But this teeth/mouth pain has been a pain in the arse. I feel sorry for anyone, even O'bama, to endure what i have.
With that, I'd better get going here. DH took the kids back to the farm and i have lunch waiting!
