3rd Step Completed

Well lets say mostly completed. I had my apt to finally get some of my filling done. Now It was a misunderstanding about the root canal. I had 3. Ugh novocain was painful enough for me, and then he started to do his whole 9 yards drilling my teeth first. Then spent most of his time filling the root canals. When he took the final xrays for the root canals, I had 2 more hidden with the other 3 so I had the total of 5, yes 5 root canals.

Ugh hate the thought of novocain. After he was done in 2 hours, he told me that I did great and very laid back to let him do his work. He was very pleased. He told me that he will do the next step of fillings and remove the temporary filling for the root canal with a permanent filling. I go back May 28th for another 2 hour procedure.

Oh I am so looking forward to novocain.

When the novocain started to wear off, I was in so much pain, not just the root canal, where he shot me with novocain twice hurts. I can not move my mouth or even smile. gah, but at least I got the day off at work tonight. Oh the joys of having a day off during the week is so nice.

I get to hog the pc until DJ (hubby) comes home at 2 am. :P hahahahha

What a BORING night!!

I'm at work and we are ahead of our job and we are not done until 1:30am. Grrrrrrr

But I got a bit more info about the cochlear implants. He gave us a number to call Blue Cross and Blue Shield to set up insurance for me before we go any further.

Once I do that then we will get this ball rollin.

I am looking forward to see if I can get it and be able to hear better and hear more.

Also my dentist is working on getting ahold of my previous sergeon Dr.Andrews to see if he'd be willing to come out of his retirement and do the jaw surgery. I'd love that he is a great doctor and a great man. I trust him very well. Also I found out that I don't have 1 root canal I have 3. Ugh I am so not looking forward to it.
Check back for more updates.

2nd step completed

I got my teeth cleaned and wow it feels so nice. My teeth cleaner dentist was very pleased in how well I have been keeping my teeth cleaned with having so much cavities and 1 root canal.

I got prescription for antibiotics and fluoride.

Dr.Johnson is having a bit of trouble trying to find an oral surgeon to do my jaw surgery. But he is going to go ahead and do the fillings and root canal. My next apt is April 23rd. I am not sure what ones they will do and how many.

As far as cochlear implant is concern we have not heard anything back yet about that. I am in no rush for that at the moment. I biggest is getting my cavities and root canal taken care of as well as my jaw too.

Come back for new updates.

Today is the day

Today is my apt for teeth cleaning and hopefully Dr.Johnson will have more info about the jaw surgery on finding an oral surgeon.

Not only it is my apt day, the weather is absolutly georgous out here. 68 degrees is the high and I am sitting on my couch on the front porch. It is so nice to be able to enjoy this weather before docs apt or work.

We work nights so it is hard to be able to go out and enjoy the weather elsewhere during the week since we leave @ 4:30pm to get to work. But I try to go outside as much as I can through the nights.

Other than that not much going on. Check back tonight or tomorrow to read my update on what Dr.Johnson has to say.
