dental visit.

Today was my dental visit, I was in pain this morning when I woke up and it didn't help that I had a dream about someone chasing me, which is why my teeth probably hurt, I grind them at night when I am stressed about things.. or during a bad dream. 

     basically, My dentist is this nice asian man, he told me I had several cavities on both sides, also he told me that I couldnt have my wisdom tooth extracted at his office, I asked him to do fillings for my cavities. The fillings went smoothly minus the shot I got in my bottom gum which administered the anesthetic. I won't lie, I almost wanted to cry from that pain, but oddly enough the shot I recieved on my top gums, Didn't even hurt much. I do have to go back to the dentist to get the other fillings done because he could only do one side at a time, maybe that is all my insurance covers for one visit? or maybe its for other reasons, I didn't care to ask. but anyhow I felt that it took a bit long but it was worth it, I was given amoxicillin as an antibiotic because I also have to have a root canal done, I have to admit, the tooth extraction and root canal worry me, but As I will be put to sleep when this procedure happens I won't be too worried about it.. I had an option to get it all done this week but unfortunately I have a very important appointment coming up that I can't afford to miss, if that works out well I will inform everyone what it was for, lets just say, it will solve quite a lot of my issues.

My mom was with me at the dentist so I suggested we go to the eye doctor, just to get information if they took our insurance, they did, and the doctor saw us right away, he was sooo nice, I didn't get his name, it should be on the card though..  I got the eye exam done, They fitted me for glasses, I should have them in one week and I can't wait! I never had glasses before so this will be a new experience, he said I should have been wearing them as a child and I wouldn't have had to deal with them now, but thats okay..  I can undo what has been already done. 

I am sleepy, My tooth hurts still but I took the pain killers given to me, I have more appointments and things to deal with but Thats life, you gotta keep moving or everything will pass you by..  I have been through so many countless struggles since I was little, heck I came into this world fighting since I was premature, but nonetheless I have learned that even if things get hard, in the end it usually works out even if its not the way that was originally planned.. 

I hope everyone has a good weekend.
