OK enough is enough

Back in March, I posted a blog entry entitled "YAY for the Endodontist". I am retracting this statement unfortunely. It appears that my root canal has failed. Yep, you heard me right!

It failed.

My sister in law works at a dental office in Denton and I have been experiencing some dental pain for a few weeks now. I honestly kept it to myself and hoped it would dissipate. Since it has continued to be bothersome, Alan and I felt it was necessary to go to Chanda's work and have Dr. Fickey look at it.

He tapped on my teeth and used his little dental tools and he came to the conclusion that the root canal I had done in March is failing. Of course, I have already had the crown put into place on that tooth so this complicates matters even further.

His best advice to me was to either have Endodontic Associates retreat this tooth or get my money back and go to another endodontist to have it corrected properly. It will probably be like "pulling teeth" to get our money back. (That was a bad joke, huh?) But seriously I hope they will understand and help me because money is very hard to come by and dental work is terribly expensive. Plus, toothaches are the worst.

Please pray for me that my teeth problems will be a thing of the past, and hopefully this problem will be resolved quickly and painlessly.

In other news, my husband and I have really gotten excited about a new XBOX 360 game. It is LIVE and it's called 1 vs 100. It may sound dorky, but we have actually bonded over this game and we have enjoyed playing it together very much.

Oh, and this is very random, but do you remember when you were a little kid and the ice cream man would come down your street? You could hear the jingle music on that truck a street over and you got so excited? Remember?

Well, the ice cream man (actually it was a nice lady) came through my neighborhood yesterday and I bought myself a treat. For some reason it is so different getting that yummy confection off of that truck than it is getting it in a box in the supermarket. I got myself a Screwball. If you can't recall, that's cherry flavored ice cream in a cup with a gumball at the bottom. SO GOOD! The treats on the ice cream truck are not as cheap as they used to be though. I can remember only needing a quarter or two to buy something, but now you need a couple of dollars or more. It was a good memory for me. It's the simple things in life that make us happy sometimes, right?
