Tooth Nightmare

I have been doomed by the Wahlert teeth. My mom has had bad teeth and I have inhereted that, and sadly my kids are doomed also. I have horror stories of dentists and this may be the top so far. I went to my local dentist to have a crown put on a tooth. This tooth ahs bothered me for several years and was decided it was time. At the dentist, I warned the dentist as I do every time that I do not numb well. They usually think I am exaggerating and find out in the end. The dentist started out with the strong stuff, nothing, Another round of shots, and some numbing. Once he started in on my tooth, I felt everything. Several more shots in and around the tooth and nerve. Luckily I was numb in the area for the shots, but working on the tooth I could feel it all. Doc decided to do an x-ray just to be certain there isn’t something more. Sure enough there was, an abcess. That mean’t 2 weeks on antibiotics and a visit with an orthopedic suregeon for a root canal. Not only did that sound horrible, but I just went through all the shots and numbing for absolutely nothing and I had to do it all over again, not once, but twice for the finishing crown. UGH!! The root canal was extremely unpleasant, but I didn’t have a lot of pain, they got me numb right. A week later, I had to go through the shots and numbing for the final crown. Only around $1700 for fixing a tooth. Ouch! One down, several to go. I have several back molars that are likely to have to go through all this again someday, but not until I have too. I think dentures are sounding pretty good.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
