Through this whole tooth ordeal, the only pain that Marcia complained about was “me being a pain in the a**”. Honestly, she actually said that she had a small amount of throbbing “once in awhile”, and that I have been a perfect angel over all of this. Now, one of these is a honest statement…I will let the reader decide which is which.
Got up at 6:45 when our Bubba Alarm Clock went off, got the coffee going, took the kids out for a walk, fed them, and waited for the coffee to perk for the required 20 minutes. By 7:30 Marcia was ready to get this over with…had to be there by 9:00 so that they could give her some meds due to her hip replacement. We left promptly at 8:35, arrived by 8:45, by the time she finished her paper work, took the pills, she was called back at 9:15, 30 minutes before her actual appointment time. I figured they would do X-Rays, and then discuss it…but in 10 minutes she was done. The wisdom tooth was not imbedded into the bone anymore, so the dentist said, “This will be easy”, reached in, pulled it out, said, “All done!” $270 later, we were out the door. This is the second tooth she has ever lost since she lost all her baby teeth a few years ago…
After the numbness wore off, she has no pain in her mouth (no telling about the back side that she sits on however), and all is well.
I have included a couple shots of us here at the Comstock Country RV Park. All of the sites have nice trees to buffer between the sites. Yes, they are a bit close, but the buffering really helps a lot, and the park is dog friendly, and everyone has been so nice. The empty slot next to us had a young couple from Denver in it last night, they had a baby was fixing to be a year old (that ‘fixing’ is an Arkansas term), and they were headed up to Portland via many National Forest and BLM land boondocking spots. This was the first campground in two weeks since they left Denver…I wish them well. Tomorrow we will pull out around 10:30, and drive up highway 50 to Lake Tahoe, around the north shore, and to one of our favorite NF Campgrounds near Truckee for a few days…were nighttime temps are going to be in the upper 30’s, but daytime temps will be in the mid-60’s.
Glad all is well in Marcia's mouth!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy...I thought it was going to be easy, just could not get her to let me bring out my needle nose pliers....
DeleteSounds like you could have done it Dave! But it's much better to be safe and get the right medication at the dentist for Marcia's case.
ReplyDeleteI think she could have worked it loose, but she still would need the antibiotic just in case.
