Man-Made Super Power

Hard Things:
~Went and took care of my ticket. Ended up only having to pay $30.00. YES!
~ Practiced donuts in a parking lot. (I don’t like not being in control of my car)
~ Drove to work in lots of snow multiple times.
~Two funerals in a week. (not including Pres Hinckley’s)
~Found a new dentist

I went to the dentist yesterday. He seemed really nice, didn’t really tell me what was going on though and when I got back to work I realized I had a million questions. I have two cracked fillings from my original dentist. He liked to get as much money as possible and drilled out the majority of your tooth in hopes that it would break and you would need a crown. Well now I need 3 crowns but I am having my new dentist do the work. The one tooth that is cracked I’ve been having some problems with but Dr Cottrell didn’t schedule me to come in for 6 weeks. He told me to try and tough it out until then. If I can’t tough it out then I can come in but I will have to pay for the crown up front and then have my insurance company reimburse me. With all of my previous dentists I have gotten back in for work within 2 weeks. This is a new development but I guess as long as I can handle the discomfort I will go with it.

The majority of my pain is coming from that tooth I had surgery on 4 years ago. I had the dentist take additional x-rays of it and he informed me I was not kidding when I told him my tooth was pressurized and felt like it was going to explode. Basically he said it was an atomic bomb and there is no way he is going anywhere near it. He was in the middle of cleaning my teeth when he said it so I didn’t get a chance for him to tell me exactly what was going on and what he thought I should do about it.

In fact, he didn’t tell me anything else about my x-rays. Does that mean I don’t have any cavities? I guess I will call and talk to him about it or maybe just wait until I go in to get my tooth fixed.

Good news is my tooth tells me when the weather is changing. I should start paying more attention to it and what weather is associated with which amount of pressure that way I can forecast the weather. That could really come in handy you know. Sweet I have a new super power.

My massive amounts of OT are gradually coming to an end. Now I can start taking more classes and getting stuff caught up that I have been slacking on. I’ve decided to take The Hinckley Challenge and am going to attempt to read the BOM in 97 days. So far I am only on page 7 good thing Sunday’s are my reading days.
