Rabbit (That's Me!)

Well, i did it, finally broke down and had that cracked tooth fixed. It was pretty much as miserable as I had thought. I think I am more miserable today. I cannot even close my mouth - the pain from my top tooth even touching the fixed tooth sends me over the moon. It was cracked in 3 different places. The oral surgeon repaired the cracks (with an evil-smelling epoxy) and did a root canal. Lovely way to spend $1100...and I get to go back in 3 weeks for a crown that will cost even MORE. I can think of a million other things I'd like to spend $2000+ on.

The surgeon asked me if I had a lot of stress in my life (laugh laugh laugh!). He said he has seen cracks like this before, and it comes from clenching your jaw while you sleep. You can put 4 times as much pressure on your teeth while you sleep than you are physically able to when awake. Interesting little tidbit...tells me that I really need to start wearing my mouth guard at night every night! Yuck, I have having that big chunk of plastic in my mouth all night. But, it's better than going through this pain, I guess!

So, I tried to eat some pretzels today...bad idea. I'd kill of a bowl of soup but I am stuck at school until after the basketball game. Oh well, I need a diet, right?

Yesterday was a bad day, of course any day that contains ORAL SURGERY is a bad day! Corky tried to eat my cell phone at the barn...before I realized it she had torn the cover off and crammed dirt into every nook and cranny of my phone. Now it's making weird noises and the power is draining. I hope she enjoyed that little chew toy! Taylor isn't blameless, she stoof by and watched. She should have played her responsible adult roll and either stopped Corky from damaging my phone or at least alerted (tattled) me! Typical kids LOL!
