What happens when you go on vacation and have a fabulous time????
The next week will be terrible!!!
Since I've stepped off the boat I've had an abscessed tooth with severe pain throughout my jaw.
So I go to the dentist who sends me to a specialist in Mobile.
I pray I don't get asked about my eating habits.....
Little Debbie would probably be a no-no and we don't even want
to begin to tell about the cruise food.
He tells me you can have a root canal or it can be pulled.
He asked Dental Insurance? I say no. I ask how much?
He says $1500 versus one to two hundred.
I take a mirror and inspect where this devil tooth is located,
I almost asked for a Little Debbie to see if the pulled tooth would hinder my consumption ratio but I
didn't think the dentist would appreciate all the chocolaty goodness that would be in my teeth.
So I said it seems the decision is clear....
pull that sucker!!
He leaves and the assistant says "your dentist sends his patients to an oral surgeon here in Mobile
so I will call and get you an appointment"
but the specialist comes in and asks the assistant "how much time do I have?"
He looks at the schedule and says "I will pull it!"
Well I'm thinking "do you not normally pull teeth?
Is this just something you've always wanted to do in your spare time????
He deadens the entire left side of my face and then he leaves for 15 minutes....
I'm assuming he's in the back on his computer googling "how to pull a tooth"
He comes back and he pulls and tugs and wiggles,
I think at one point he had his foot on the arm of the chair and I'm wondering
in my half dead face fog, if it's in there that good maybe we shouldn't be pulling it
but finally it pops out and he inspects it for 10 minutes.....
what is he looking for????
Did my tonsils come out with it???
Is it a special devil tooth that needs to go to a museum???
So now I'm home looking at this giant hole in my head.
I bet all the men out there are wondering "does she have a twin?"
Snaggle tooth, sweaty navel and hairy toes........sigh........Shannon is a lucky man....
