AND ON IT GOES

Hi everyone

Well I went to the dentist yesterday to get my fillings done - thankfully no more extractions! What is in there is staying now.

I was a bit nervous after my previous appointment and my panic attack while on the chair but forced myself to go anyway.  I was so proud.

I was in the chair for an hour as the fillings the dentist was doing were soooo tiny! When I got into my car I could feel something in my mouth and thought I hadn't rinsed out right but no it was one of the fillings.

I just hadn't got the strength to go straight back in so came home.  I simply couldn't go through all that again.  I have emailed them now and am waiting for them to get back to me but don't want to go today - if necessary I would go tomorrow and get it re-done.  It was obviously not right to start with so hope he isn't going to charge me again!

This was my last appointment with the dentist and my teeth are now dental fit.  I have signed up to dentiplan which means I will have 2 visits to the dentist and 4 to the hygeniest every year for a monthly fee.  It also gives me 20% off any additional treatment and fully covers me for accidents/emergencies. 

I have decided to go ahead and get my 4 crowns re-done.  I was debating it as it is soooo expensive but hey if they need done they need done.  The four crowns cost £1800 ($3600) on top of what I have already paid my dentist bill is £3000 ($6000)! Isn't that outragous?  Anyway because I have signed up to this plan I will get £360 ($720) off the price which I guess is a bonus.

I only need two appointments to get them done and have said I would rather leave it until May until my mouth has chance to heal from this course of treatment.  I get them sized up and a mould made at the first appointment when he will put in temporary crowns while the right ones are made and then I go back 3 weeks later and have them fitted.  A total of 3 hours in the chair.

Anyway I pottered about the garden yesterday and think we are going to get to work on the flower beds this weekend as I want to get my tomato plants into grow bags but have no room at the minute because I have all my new plants for the flower beds waiting to go in.

I have bits of housework to do today and need to get caught up on the ironing. James is have a meal with his boss from work tonight so I don't have to cook. 

We played a game called "boggle" last night and then game wasn't put away before we went to bed (it is a word game).  When I got up this morning James had spelt out "I love you so much Joy xo" with the tiles.  How sweet is he?

My parents are thinking about coming up today - depending on how my Dad is feeling - his leg is giving him so discomfort.  He is going to watch football tonight so don't know if they will bother but if they do Mum is going to stay over while Dad goes back home.  I have to go to my home town tomorrow anyway as it is my neices birthday and have a gift for her.  I have decided not to go to her party on Saturday (it would mean a 4 hour round trip for me) and we really need to hit the shops and get a suit for James for the wedding.

Right I need to get off and get dressed! I am hoping the plumber will come today too - but I am not holding out much hope! Everyone is so relaxed here.

Ok folks I am off - have a good day.

heard of wife swap...

 how about hubby swap... james is soooooooo cute. bless him.

so proud of you for putting yourself thru all the dental work. itll be worth it. x

((hugs))

Sorry your dental saga is not yet over!

But what a darling husband your James is!!

Hi Joy

Dental work is SOOOO expensive.  It is the same here!!  I have dental insurance but its STILL expensive.  I guess it must be the same everywhere...  I'm glad you are getting everything taken care of...you know, they say that not taking care of your teeth can cause other health problems as well.  So, I'm happy to hear that you have decided to take care of your crowns too.  Better to be safe, than sorry.  You have been so brave Joy....honestly, I  would have been shaking in my boots!  I'm proud of you!! 

How lovely to be doing a bit of gardening.  I LOVE the thought of doing gardening....and I love to SEE people doing gardening...but I am not a gardening kind of gal.  One worm and I'm OUTTA there!!    No kidding!  I don't do bugs and worms and creepy crawly things.  Eeekkkk..... 

That James is a real sweetheart.  I don't think we have any men like that here in California....a darn shame I tell you!!  Does he have a brother available??    Well, I guess that's all for now.  You take care of yourself...be careful with your teeth....and enjoy your weekend.

Toodles.

Julia

You are so brave

WOW! i couldnt stand to be in the dentists office let alone let them do all that work on me. I have to though. That is the years plan. I have done the doctor thing, did the car thing, did the eye doctor thing. sooo..... i guess all i have left is get my teeth done. I wish i could find someone who would just knock me out for the entire proceedure. thanks for all your kind words, I did enjoy my bro and his family, i wish they had more time. His father in law had EVERY minute of their vacation planned, They are down for an entire week and all he had to spend with me was the afternoon, but he had to go to dinner at 445 pm so it was just 4 hours. Oh well. it was still good to see them.

OOO

Sorry to hear that the filling came out.  That really sucks!

And that was incredibly sweet of James.

Yay!!!

Well, other than needing a filling re-done, I am glad to hear that you are caught up on your dental work.  Hugs to you!!

Sweetie was wonderful too to spell that out in the game.  Have a great weekend!!

Wow.....

I can't beleive a filling came out as you were leaving the dentist!  Crazy.  Your dentist IS VERY spendy!  I'm so glad you are taking care of YOU!  How does your mouth feel today?  Love ya girl!

Your hubby

sounds soooo romantic. Too bad he cant offer lessons to DH's like mine. My DH has his moments but he definatley could use some pointers.

Oh Boy!!!

Oh Boy I can't believe your filling came out .  I know you must be glad that it is all over now.  Hope all stays in place and you have no more problems with your teeth.

What a Sweet Husband you have  He sounds like such a Dear.

Have a nice Week End

Good for you!

I'm very proud of you Joy!  Good job on having the courage and the patience to go through everything at the dentist.  You're right about the one that came out - you shouldn't have to pay for it.

Your James is a sweetie!  That was very cute, and touching, that he spelled out that message for you in the game tiles.  Is he taking that job in England?  I'm a little behind on reading your blog so you may have already mentioned it.

Hope you had a good time with the gardening.  I was able to mow the grass for 2 hours today.  Now, I'm totally pooped.  Hope you have a wonderful week.  Looking forward to catching up on more of your adventures in the next day or so.

Love,

Lindy

I'm so proud of you for being so brave at the dentsit. He shouldnt charge you for the fillng, think they are guaranteed for a year or something like that over her on the NHS xx
