Oh ------- Ouch! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. That tooth

has been a nightmare for you. What did the dentist say the white bubble

was? Is it infected? I guess the good thing is that you don't have to

worry about it anymore.

Anyway, I hope the pain doesn't linger.

Sending love and hugs,

[ ] Guess what I did today

Hi Everyone,

Guess what I did today.

Ok. Here it goes. It started last night. I went out for dinner with Wyatt

and my friend . I noticed some soreness in the root canal tooth. It

was late, and I figured that it could wait til morning. When I woke up,

there was a white bubble forming at the base of the tooth. I called the

dentist and he said to come right in. I dropped Wyatt off at his friend's

house. They are going to Kennywood Park today for our community picnic and

then Wyatt is going to spend the night. I went to the dentist and he

proceded to pull the tooth. He said that in all of his 12 years practicing,

he has never had such a difficult extraction. It took 2 1/2 hours. Need I

say more? I have the Grand Canyon in the space where the tooth used to be.

I feel like I was in a boxing match. I am going back to bed.

Love and Hugs

Stacey,

I am so sorry that you had to endure all this following your root canal

visits. What a lousy thing to have happen. I think bed is just where you

need to be! Please take care of yourself sweetie.

Prayers and hugs being sent to you on angel's wings,

- Ouch, Ouch, and Ouch! I have had so many

things like that happen at the dentist that the last

time I went, I had an anxiey attach, nearly passed out

and the dentist gave me oxygen.

When I lived in Louisiana, this old cajun dentist

decided he would pull one of my molars. Looking back

on it, it was so cartoonish. The dentist was

straddling the chair and jerking with his tool like he

was removing a nail from a board all the while sweat

was poring down his face. I did not like that look in

his eyes. (Panic, help!) Finally, it popped out and he

flew half way across the office. He sent me home with

a bruised jaw and a prescription for Tynenol 3. I was

back in a week with a dry socket and he told me he

couldn't give me any more pain pills, that I would

become addicted. I left his office and went to see an

oral surgeon who immediately took care of the problem.

I never want to have that kind of pain again. If it

had gone on any longer I would have been visiting that

dentist chair in the clouds. Later on my husband who

had sent me to that dentist because he was their

childhood dentist told me that one time he was late

for an appointment and the dentist was so mad that he

didn't give the shots time to take effect and his

mouth become numb on his way home. I asked him why he

though that I would like that dentist. I never saw

him again (the dentist).

Anyway, I hope this is the end to this episode and

that you won't have to endure any more dental

proceedures. Make sure you keep ice on it. Iris

Stacey, I am very sorry to hear that you had to have the tooth pulled and that

it was so difficult at that. I hope you will feel better after sleeping.
