ouch.

So, I've been to the dentist a lot lately. I had lost a filling while we were in Taba over the 4th of July, so I went in to get that fixed. Turns out there was a whole lot of decay in the front six teeth on top. Why just them, he had no idea. But the thing is, I was at the dentist in Fairfax like, 2 months ago, and he should have spotted it and done something. So anyway, he fixed themissing filling, and was worried I may need a root canal, because the tooth was so soft from decay that my nerve was actually exposed.
Ick.
Thankfully, It's been feeling pretty well, and I didn't really need the painkillers he gave me. I was there again yesterday, too, because, as I said, bunch of work needed doing. That was excrutiating. Two fillings, and they were both pretty big. And the novacaine injection was in a place that was really painful. It still hurts, actually. That's all I really feel the need for painkillers for, though.
I have two more appointments to get more work done. And then I should find someone up in Meadville to see more often than every six months--like, every three months or something. I can get a recommendation from the Hooples or Libby, see who they go to.

But in other news, we were out of town this weekend visiting distant relatives who live here in Israel. It was fun, actually. Kinda felt bad, because we left Rosie alone in the yard for 24 hours. But then dad made the decision to spend the night up there at the last minute so there was no time to get her a spot at the kennel or ask somebody to watch her. She was fine when we got home, though. Very excited to see us, as usual, but fine.
