The Tooth is GONE!!!!!

After spending the weekend in pain, I finally got in to see the endodontist this morning. He started by telling me he was going to numb it and then repack the tooth. I started by telling him no. I didn't want to do anything else with the tooth. Surprisingly he didn't argue and said that extraction was certainly an option. Said he would refund half the money I had paid and made an appointment with the oral surgeon next door for 3:15 this afternoon. We went back home and worked on some more "stuff." I was back at the oral surgeon's at 3:00, got the paperwork filled out and told him how scared I was. He was very nice, told me exactly what would happen and amazingly I sat through it quite well. I don't want to do it everyday, but it wasn't bad. It hurts now, but I am hoping once it is healed the pain I had will be gone and my mouth will be back to normal.

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and concerns. I am so glad I got it done today. I couldn't believe they got me in today to do it, but looks like we are on schedule to leave Sunday as originally planned.

We painted the kitchen and laundry room Monday. Once we leave next week, the floor guy is coming to lay the laminate floor. That should be such a big difference and should really spruce the house up. We are going to do more work on it, but we just try to do a little bit each time we are here.

When we leave Sunday we are going to Dale Hollow Lake to take the boat and jetski. We are storing them at Sunset Dock so hopefully we will be able to use them when we make a trip through periodically.

From there we go to the family reunion in Mississippi, then on to Red Bay for coach work. Then we will head to Charlottesville to see grandson Ronan.

Hope all is well with you.

Till next time. . .
