Do I have to?

Well, I finally did what I have been putting off for over two years now. I went to the dentist. The last time I went, I had 8 cavities filled. Yeah I said 8. Well, I knew I was going to have more cavities to be filled and a few other problems. About a year ago, I noticed a dark spot on one of my eye teeth. Well, I had a huge dark hole in my tooth. Then on Christmas of 2004 I chipped one of my back teeth and had a very sharp tooth in my mouth. Well, I delt with all my problems while I was pregnant, but I really don't have any good excuses now that I can't get my teeth fixed. One other thing I should mention is that Dan and I don't have dental Insurance. We had looked into it through Dan's work, but the amount of money it would cost was just too much to take from our budget right now with the three kids. So , anyways, a couple of months ago I had a full set of exrays taken and was told I had 5 cavities. Ok...I can handle that. As long as I didn't have to have a root canal I was ok. So, Dan and I went to the dentist on last Friday. He has never had a cavity in his short life, so he came into the room with me and watched while I had my work done. My mouth was sore and I had a bad headache from all the drilling. Well, throughout the weekend one of the teeth my sweet dentist worked on was aching. I figured it was just sore because he had really done quite a bit to that one tooth. So, I awoke in horrible pain last evening from by aching tooth. I just knew something like this was going to happen. Well, I called my dentist this morning and guess what? He says my tooth is more than likely dying because it was a really deep cavity. So my two options are to have a root canal or have my tooth pulled. Well, I have had a number of root canals in the past , and they are just not a fun thing to do. My dentist also told me that a root canal is much more expensive than getting a tooth pulled. So tomorrow is the big day...I am going to have my tooth pulled. Yeah I can't wait. I would much rather go through labor than have a tooth pulled. So tomorrow at 4:00 pm please think of me sitting in the dentist chair, my mouth numb and wide open, and my precious dentist taking or should I say pulling my dead tooth from my mouth. Perhaps I will take pictures of the ordeal for you all and post them. I can't wait....Can you?
