So today’s memo ~ do NOT go to a dentist while travelling. Wait until you get home and see your own !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, felt like I lost a filling about 3 weeks ago, not really a big deal. Right ?! Les figured it was best to get it looked after here in Florida, rather than waiting until we got to Mexico. So, went to a dentist here in Davenport, FL. Turns out I didn’t just lose the filling but the tooth cracked as well … great eh????
Root canal & crown and all it entails … SOOOOOOOO NOT IN THE BUDGET, so we decided to go ahead and have it pulled. Easy breezy right ?? 😉 WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Turns out EVERYONE in the world has 3 roots on this specific tooth ~ I am special and have FOUR! So after TWO hours of trying to get this tooth out, only 2 roots would come out. They had to stop trying because … ~ ~ ~ … Wait for it … Wait for it … wait for it … wait for it … they exposed my sinus !! For all of you who may not know what that means – it means EXCRUTIATING PAIN !!!
So now, there were 2 roots removed, the other 2 roots still in, and a ‘sorry I think we may have hit the sinus’. Two hours of yanking, pushing, pulling etc … and it’s not even out YET !!! Laying there, all of a sudden I feel like I’m going to drown. I felt enormous pressure in my sinuses and then all the water they’re cleaning my mouth with starts going through my sinus cavity. OMG, I seriously felt like I was drowning. And pain … boy you have NO idea !!!!!!!!!
WTF ??? !!! Antibiotics and T-3 for pain (as if that’s gonna even touch this immense pain!!!) The weirdest part, the air I’m breathing in is coming out of my tooth !!!!!!!! So weird 😉
So the oral surgeon … is able to fix me. OMG, thank-you 🙂
This oral surgeon ~ OMG ~ god bless this man! He did an xray of the damage done but said he wouldn’t know more until he actually went in to look. So, I’m given 2 options, general anesthetic or local anesthetic … DUH !!! NO THOUGHT NEEDED HERE !!! After everything … KNOCK ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I then decided that I just wanted to get this over with, told the surgeon I put my ‘big girl panties’ on today so let’s just go with the local. @%$& !!! I’m crazy 😉
It took this man NINETY SECONDS !!!! 90 seconds people !!! He was able to get the other 2 roots out and restitched everything in less than 5 minutes !!! I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!! ♥ SERIOUSLY !!! New pain meds to go home with (ones that really do work this time) 😉 and home here I come.
So, here’s the end result ~ severe trauma in my mouth and yes, my sinus was perforated. BIG BIG OUCH !!! The prognosis … may have to have future surgery on my sinuses.
Pain … can’t even describe it to ya’ll !!! Other than it doesn’t even rate on a scale of 1-10. (maybe a 26 or somethin’) !!!
So, the message here is what ??? DO NOT GO TO DENTISTS WHILE TRAVELLING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially ones that don’t know what they are doing … (just my opinion). Time for me to go lay down now, drugs are kickin’ in (THANK GOD) !!! 🙂
FYI – ‘Dr. Shivji – I MISS YOU … pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease move to Mexico !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ (my dentist from home is thee best dentist ‘EVA) 🙂
uyvs ~ xoxo ♥
You must have forgotten, about the dentist when we were kids back east…….. after trying and failing to remove your abcesed tooth…… you were screaming so much……. I was the only one left in the waiting room. Everyone else ran for their lives…….. And F.Y.I…….: there’s a reason people take ‘Dental Vacations’ in Mexico……… world class dental/medical……..third world prices…….. hoping you feel better soon….
LoveMiss You
