A Mini-Date, As Far As Updates Go..

Dave's extraction site is healing marvelously. He experienced mild jaw pain for about one day, and has been dandy ever since. He's such a tough guy. I can only dream of being so rugged, I guess, lol.

I'm still battling extreme tooth sensitivity myself, and not loving it. I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, in so much pain that I want to cry. Fortunately, I'm much too sleepy these days for that nonsense.

I decided to chose another dentist for myself, since I don't think I trust the one I have anymore. I spoke to Dave's prosthedontist to see what he thought about my impending root canals, and he told me I should get a second opinion before scheduling them. I selected the dentist that I went to a couple times in high school from our list of preferred dentists. I can't rely on my memories of him to remember whether he's good or not, but.. hopefully he's not NOT good. Unfortunately, their first opening for new patients is two incredibly long weeks away. I don't know if I can handle the pain for that much longer, but I don't suppose I have a lot of choice in the matter really.

Dave has decided, for himself.. that he will stay on with Aspen Dental, for convenience sake. I'm not entirely comfortable with the decision. I still think Dr. Aaron is a little too rough for either of us.. but Dave is pretty persistent. His next appointment is next Wednesday, unless I cancel it to head to the oral surgeon in Indianapolis first instead. I don't know how booked up they'll be though, so we'll just have to see.

My biggest fear with Dave staying on with Dr. Aaron is having to cancel MY appointments there, and wonder how long I'll be able to go before they start asking me when I'm coming back for the rest of my work with them. I definitely don't need a confrontation on my hands, and I don't want to withstand the glares I'm sure to get if they know I've switched dentists right under their noses like I have, all while having to go there once a week with Dave. The whole thing could get very uncomfortable, so I'm hoping they're slow to that particular realization.

Other than dental news.. there isn't much to report on, sadly. It's church night, so we're off to bed early tonight. Thank You so much, most sincerely, for joining us again this evening. Until next time, Much Love, Many Hugs and Good Night to You All.
