Well, that was painful

I had to have a tooth pulled. I am so very upset because after getting my lower partial last year, I have been meticulous about brushing my teeth every day.

But, I suppose, when you neglect something for so very long...it was too little too late.

And to make it worse, the top part of the tooth (which had a crown on from previous work) broke when he was pulling it, so that exposed the nerve and meant I had to have more numbing and the rest of the extraction was even more painful and rough.

I intended to go to work today, but after a rough night last night...then woke up in agony this morning...so that was out the window.

Have to try to go tomorrow because I will be off on Thursday for more dental work.

Not happy, even with pain meds.

In other news, my son is taking the GED test today. Please send good thoughts his way as this is HUGE for him. He suffered so much in school due to his learning disabilities (ADHD and dyslexia) and dropped out at 16. He is doing this for himself, but the impetus was his son--who started school last year. I think Adam wanted to be a good example.

I really hope he passes the first time...it would break his heart if he doesn't.
