Crochet Me Crazy

Well, we got a lot shoved into the day today. I dropped Jeff off at the dentist office while the kids and I went to Dollar General & Wal-Mart. We went back to get Jeff and he wasn't quite done yet so we waited for him. He came out finally. They did a bunch of x-rays on him to find the problem. Apparently, it IS the tooth with the previous root canal that the dentist's file broke off in his tooth. He said the tooth has to be sealed off after a root canal and because of the file in it, he probably wasn't able to seal it off as well. With Jeff's immune systems being down and being sick over the past week, it was just too much for his system and the infection spread into the roots of his tooth. What has to be done sounds like torture. He will cut his gums back to the roots and cut the root of the tooth off and seal it and somehow put it back? HUH? Anyway, sounds painful. If that doesn't work then the tooth has to go. The dentist prescribed more antibiotics and he's going back on the first of December to get this done. We went to a clinic where the rates are on a sliding pay scale so what would normally cost us over $600 is only going to cost us $200. He said the rest of his cavities can wait...this has to be taken care of first. Aw shucks...Jeff won't let me post the pictures of his watermelon face when he was sick!

After the dentist, Jeff dropped Michael and I off at the grocery store while he ran Alison by Tractor Supply for her to buy a bag of treats for Princess. They came back and got us and we hurried home for Alison to run in and get read for dance. Jeff and Michael put up groceries for me while I took Alison to dance. Sigh...the day is now over. I'm feeling a bit yucky myself. Starting to get a little cough and drainage. I'm upping my Vitamin C. I can't afford to get sick. I bought a "Nettie Pot" today. Jeff's mom told me she's been using one and it helps her. I've looked into these before but never bought one. I'm about to start the torture of my family with yet another home prevention/cure! They are going to LOVE me!!
