The Tooth Shall Set You Free!!!

Ah, I'm having a great time on my pain meds. Pain pills for everyone!! And it's foggy out, wow. Today I had my second root canal in less than 2 years. Fun. The first one was horrible-$700 practically thrown away & did I mention the the person who did it? DR. NALLY. Thornblade snob with his little mut running around the office in a sweater. I believe tomorrow I will demand some of my money back or bye bye poochie. This was my second visit with this new endodontist. DR. Christopher NOEL. FANTASTIC. Very nice and doesn't believe in someone taking out a second mortgage to cover the bill (well, we need one first).
Since June, I was told by a real idiot dentist-DR. SCOTT RHODEN, that I will lose a tooth-my front tooth (#25 to be exact). I was then told I will need an implant which costs at least $5000 & insurance doesn't cover it because it is cosmetic. Blah blah............... So I sang this song too many times.
It was very hard for me, the thought of having a partial in my mouth for possibly forever was really upsetting, especially when everyone I spoke with about it all said the same thing: they suck!
What is an endodontist you may wonder? Basically a dentist with 2-3 years more schooling. They specialize in root canals & other facial traumas. They have hospital rights & all have to write a thesis. I now have this in the back of my head for a career choice for Haleigh. Oh she's not going to school for just 4 years! But Sarah Palin will take care of that law when she's in office no doubt.
Anyways, I m very thankful for everyone who humored me & listened to me for months about this. I am also so thankful to my dad & Jeff for telling me to get a second opinion!!!
Can you imagine having a money hungry or plain out incompetent doctor who tells you have some life threatening illness but then decide to get a second opinion & it turned out to be ok? And this was only a tooth. So today was a great day. Thank you to Rush Limbaugh for blasting Starbucks (I have no idea why but it was good when I listened) Thank you to the idiot caller to the Mike Gallagher show who reminded me why I am a Republican (or at least vote as one) thank you to Dickey's Barbecue for having crushed ice with my iced tea & thank you to Walgreens for having a great pharmacy. I'm done.
