The Dentist's office is my new home away from home...

Well it has been almost a whole month since I have shared anything on my blog.  I feel a little bit like my mind has been taken over.  I need very extensive Dental work done.  It has been shocking in many different ways.  BUT, it has to be done, and I will be brave!  My teeth are filled with decay, seem to crumble weekly, and have a bazillion cavities in them.  I have to get many root canals, bridges, and crowns.  It will be really expensive, but Dave's health insurance through his work is helping alot.  It took me a few years to get up the courage to just bite the bullet (well....that might break every tooth in my mouth), face my fears and just go in.  Ma went with me, and that helped tremendously.  I had an appointment last week, getting my gums checked out to see if there was any disease.  And luckily there wasn't anything concerning....so I breathed a sigh of relief!
So I have 4 appointments for this month.....extraction time next Thursday.....I'm trying to keep myself positive about it, and just be brave enough to go through the pain.

So please pray for me if you read this, that would mean the world to me!

UpdatE

Well I am going to write a little update!
Dave has been working out of town alot lately, last week he was in Penticton from Monday to Friday.  I went and visited him at his hotel in Penticton last Tuesday, and brought dinner for us.  It was fun, we watched the hockey game, and watched our favorite show (3rd Rock from the Sun), then I drove back home.  This week has been interesting, Dave came home early Monday and Tuesday....which has never happened.  i had both those days off, so it was fun to be together!  Dave went to osoyoos today, and will be home tomorrow night.  And who knows where he will go next week.
Yesterday i had to go to the dentist, and i was so nervous! Ma came with me to calm my nerves and for support.  Once I got there i was okay....but by the end of the appointment (90 minutes later) I was a little horrified. They took a million X-rays, awful pictures, and poked around on every single tooth I have. there is ALOT of issues in my mouth, and ALOT of work that needs to be done.  So basically the dentist's office will become my second home.  The dentist was nice, and so was the assistant, so i have no complaints there.
Next week me and Ma are going back to have a consultation, and talk money and what needs to be done.  and how many teeth have to get pulled out, and all that. 

This month I am planning to have all my Christmas shopping done, and be able to send Christmas cards out on time!  I have 1 gift so far, and a bunch of ideas.....so I feel ahead of the game!  Hopefully I stay that way, and can reach my goal!
