On Christmas Eve I took a bite of a Tootsie Roll. As I opened my bite, so came my cap off my tooth. OUCH! It did ok until I got to the dentist today. Now it feels horrible. Outside of this cap that I have, I've never had any major dental issues. And let me tell you, the cost of 10 minutes in the dentist chair for them to glue it on... $90, my portion is $54.50. I like my dentist, but they said I may need a new crown. I will be shopping around. And did I tell you, it FEELS HORRIBLE!! I couldn't even eat my salad at lunch. I have to go back, but I can't afford the new crown. so I have no idea what I am going to do until then. Ugh!
Imagine if I didn't have insurance, it would have been more. To the tune of an extra $35.50 more. Thank You Jesus for insurance.
I totally take for granted all the times my mouth doesn't hurt... and that I can eat pretty much whatever I want because I have good choppers. Note to self, don't eat another tootsie roll as long as you live!
I think about how many things we take for granted. Ugh, the thought actually sickens me. I hope that in this, I see the miracles of everyday that God sends down to us.
Job 5:9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

You're Christmas time posts were a delight to read today. The day after Christmas when I'm feeling the effect of another Zyrtec allergy pill. Seems to me that one day they don't bother me (the hives and meds) ... the the next day I've got more hives and taking another pill ... then whammy, I'm tired as all heck. That's how my day is today, not that you asked ;)
Sorry to hear about your tooth. I'll be praying that you find a good dentist who charges less! --and that your pain goes away!
I am behind in my reading and commenting on my scarf sisters' blogs/activities....so am trying so hard to catch up...forgive me for taking so long....
blessings to you....
hugs
