Sick and Throbbing

We haven't had the best of day today. Maggie has been sick for the last few days and didn't sleep last night unless Mike or I were holding her or rubbing her stomach. At 4:30 am I gave up and called in sick for work. Little did I know that being tired wouldn't be my biggest problems. While holding and rocking Maggie in the wee hours of the morning, my tooth started to throb and ache. This is a tooth that has had a crown on it for at least 8 years, and I had an appointment on Monday to get it checked. Since I wasn't working, I called this morning and the dentist was able to fit me in. I guess I am glad as it turns out that I needed a root canal and a new crown. Man, why don't crowns come with a warranty. It's bad enough I had to pay for it but two hours in the dental chair is worst! I have never liked the dentist. I think it comes from a childhood full of dental visits and cavities. My dentist filled my teeth full and deep so now they are falling apart. Thanks Dr. Brown and genetics. I say genetics as I brush, floss, and rinse almost every day; Mike hardly ever flosses and only has a few cavities - so not fair. So now Maggie and I both are hangin on the couch wishing we felt better and were out playing.
