UPDATE ON MY TOOTH.

Hello!

Well I had my tooth pulled yesterday morning. My friend Christine was kind enough to keep Blake for me. Anyway the tooth was a partial root canal with a crown on top of it. The dentist that did the root canal couldn't find all the canals so he put the crown on it thinking that I wouldn't have any more issues. Well the tooth ended up getting absessed. So I went to a specialist and he told me he thought the tooth was cracked and that it needed to come out. So I went back to my dentist who sent me to an oral surgeon. They numbed me up real good. No I didn't get put to sleep. I stayed awake for the whole thing. The hardest part was taking the crown off. He actually had to use a drill to get it off. That was no fun. But I couldn't feel anything so it worked out LOL. As they were pulling it they were like OMG. And I am thinking what? whats wrong whats going on? I had an infection inside my tooth that had pretty much grown into a mass. It was about the size of a button. It was good size! They couldn't believe I wasn't in an excruiating amount of pain. They kept talking about how fascinating it was. Anyway they got the tooth out and stitched me up. I am doing pretty good. I am sore and the meds make me tired but I'm not going to complain. They got the infection out before it had spread to my sinuses. So I am thankful. It has been challenging taking care of Blake being so tired but I am making it work. I am going to try to leave the house for a while tomorrow so that he doesn't start getting bored and getting into trouble. Well thats the latest update. I will blog again soon.

Much Aloha,
Amber and Blake
