Ok.. here we go...
took the family out to Jim and Nicks bar-b-que on Mother's Day.
ordred the baby back ribs...about the third rib I took a bite...pulled the rib away and 'thought' I just had the rib meat...
bit down...SNAP, CRACK!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
fawkin needles of pain through my jaw, mouth, and I let a out a yelp...
back left molar..figured I cracked the filling...
had to wait until yesterday to see dentist....
he says I 'fractured' the filling and can see me Tuesday (today) morning..
went this am...he is poking around....'HMM!!...OH!!!..Well Now!!" that's NOT what you want to hear from your dentist...:violin: :violin:
He says I will need a root canal, $1000.00 and a crown $800.00....my insurance will pay half....:sadwave: :sadwave:
He starts to drill to clean out the tooth or whatever..."HOLD IT...LET ME CHECK SOMETHING"...once, again,...NOT what you want to hear...
"Well, I'll be damned, you fractured the tooth IN HALF all the way to the root":scared :scared :scared
NO root canal or crown for me....PULL IT!!!!
after 10 minutes of using medivel torture devices in my mouth..he only has 25% of tooth OUT
His exact words. "Lawrence, I'm not comfortable continuing, the fracture is too far down and I am sending you to the oral surgeon"
Now, I have to drive MYSELF 10 minutes to oral surgeon..My jaw and left cheek is swollen due to all the anestetic that's been shot in me...I can't feel my face...etc.
so oral surgeon finished the tooth, and sends me home.....
He gave me valium, hydrocodone, percocet and darvocet....he said when local wears off, I will be hurting, b/c he really had to poke, prode, dig, scrape, etc....
So, right now I have a hyrdrocone, and a percocet on board and am feeling pretty DAMN HIGH right now...LOL!!
anyway, just wanted to share my story with my MJ breathern and give each of you a :grouphug:
