The tooth that I tried to forget...

A few years ago I had a root canal and a crown. Then about a year and a half ago the crown kept popping off. After having it "re-seated" several times, I finally got tired of the dentist's office and just left the crown off.
Sunday as we were leaving Logan's I felt a **pop** from that tooth, and stopped the car to inspect. Everything seemed OK, so I went on with life. Last night as I was praising the Lord my coughing had subsided, I felt the worst pain in my jawbone. This morning it was so bad I couldn't eat, nor could I bite down where my back teeth would touch, or I would scream.
At work this morning I saw the gum area beside my tooth was swollen out, and very sensitive. I made an appointment for 10:45 a.m. and tried to go on with work.
A half hour later my entire face throbbed and I went ahead and left work and went in early to the dentist.
The tooth had fractured, the dentist tells me after reviewing an x-ray. So, it has to be "extracted". I was ready.. go ahead and yank the booger!
Nope, I have to be on antibiotics and get the swelling and infection down before they will pull it. Darn it!
So, I am home, with pain meds and antibiotics. And here I was so looking forward to getting over the sore throat and feeling better, now I have to wait on the tooth!

The kids are doing great. The only thing that worries me is there is not enough time in the evenings to play. By the time we get home, it is 5:00, dinner, baths, brushing teeth, reading a book, and there is just not enough time to really play or just veg out and watch cartoons. :-( I am going to have to do some creative scheduling. But the good part is they are sleeping well, and long.

J goes back to school in the morning, and what a great thing! He has been so excited to get back, and that is very encouraging for us, because he wants to learn and absorb all of it.
So I call the school to find out if J can catch the bus from his daycare, and they said probably, but I need to call the transportation dept. So I call them and they say to set up a new stop is a process,and I needed to first get permission from the school principal for J to even keep going there, because we are not zoned for his school. So, among 500 other things I have to do, tomorrow morning, when the school is buzzing and the principal has a full schedule, I have to corner him and get permission for J to keep going there, and get permission for him to ride the bus from daycare, and then get the transportation dept. to agree to it all and set it up as a new stop. Whew... I need an assistant!
