Today has been a very difficult day for me, made worse by the fact that I started by taking sedating medication. My day was supposed to involve tissue grafting to my upper jaw. Long story short, the dentist got in and realized he couldn't do it as planned and he broke my teeth in the process. (There is lots of explaining there, just ask if you really want to know....) So now the hard part...I started with drugs, I spent $40 to get the medications I would need, I wasted my time going to see him (again) and my husband's time (he had to miss class) and part of the day of my sister-in-law, Aimee and my niece, Micah who came to pick me up. Oh, and my upper lip was numb for 12 hours. The reason I think it was a waste of time, is because Ive seen this guy about 5 times now. He has copies of radiographs, pictures, write ups and the benefit of having seen my mouth, minus the temporary teeth, in all its dental implant glory. Now, despite all of these things, he still didnt realize until today, 30 minutes into the procedure, after breaking the temporary bridge that he wouldn't be able to do the grafting the way he wanted to. Don't get me wrong, I dont want him to do a procedure that will cause damage, or just flat out wont work.....but how does one get that far into the whole deal before realizing he needed a different plan. I understand that implants and the stuff to go with them have changed alot since I got these somewhere about 5 years ago, but he knew that part too.... So now my mouth is sore and I feel like crap, and I'm not a bit closer to being done dealing with my teeth....again.
The silver lining: I totally justified having ice cream for supper tonight!
We also watched The Big Lebowski tonight. I'm not a fan. Maybe its the drugs....maybe it didn't live up to the hype from my husband...whatever it was...I wasn't impressed.
