On Thursday I was woken up by a phone call telling me that I had an appointment with the Dentist at 2:00 PM that afternoon. Considering it was 10:00 AM I figured I’d have plenty of time to figure out what the hell just happened (I was only asleep for like two hours at this point mind you).
I got to the dentist about 20 minutes early because I’ve never been to this guy before and figured I’d have paper work to fill out. I was there for 10 minutes and went right in to get checked out. He preformed a root canal right then and there because it was either get that done or the tooth wasn’t worth saving. He also seemed very disappointed with the status of a few other molars in my mouth. They cracked, I have no insurance, nothing I can really do about it. It took three large shots of Novocain for me to finally go numb, I’ve always had a high tolerance to that stuff…probably why Ambesol doesn’t ever work for me.
He’s been the ‘family’ dentist for my Aunt, Uncle and Grandmother (Dad’s side) for the last like 20 years, so he only charged me $140 for the root canal and temp filling. After the holidays I’m going to have to schedule an appointment for the rest of the root canal and then a crown. That’s probably going to run me about $1200 so I guess we’ll see what happens from here. So much for buying myself a new computer for Christmas. I really don’t want a desktop with Windows Vista so I’m going to have to figure something out.
As far as shopping is concerned, everything is covered. I spent more on my sister than I probably should have. I bought quite a bit for my father as well as my aunt. I went a little crazy on the boyfriend, but he already knows that. I even went in on some gifts for my mother, crazy eh? I didn’t get her husband anything though, it’s not that I didn’t want to it’s because he’s a fairly large man and it’s impossible to find clothes for him in stores like Wal-Mart and what not. So I think I’ll have my sister head over to like big and tall or something and see what happens.
In any event, I’m going to lay down, my fever hasn’t really come down yet from the cold so I don’t want to sit up any longer than I should have to.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Most desktops sold in stores will not have Vista until about late March, early April, or so I’ve read.. I’m not sure if the transition will be all pcs with vista, or some with, and some without. It’s easier just building one yourself, and less expensive.
Merry Christmas! 🙂
I spent entirely too much on Christmas stuff too. I’ll just be glad when the holidays are over and I have some money again. I dislike this whole being dirt poor thing.
Merry Christmas love!
Having to go to the dentist sucks 🙁 So does having to have so much Novocain and the like to have them take effect – I’m the same way.
Feel better soon sweetie.
