This week has been filled with a little bit of good and a some bad. It’s been hard and frustrating and it’s starting to come to an emotional breaking point for me.
I’ve been doing the Jenny Craig program for a month now and I’m seeing some results. I’m thrilled and this week was able to fit into a pair of jeans the before were too tight and gave the me dreaded muffin top. It was great!
I’ve been enjoying my time with Justin and the help he is giving me. I’ve been able to tackle some tasks that are extremely difficult with out someone else watching Emma. She loves to get in to everything and while I encourage her exploring her environment sometimes it’s just not safe. Plus she likes to get into what I am doing and make a mess out of it.
This week I also happened to have developed 4 icky blemishes. It’s so gross and one of them is deep in a pore and under the skin. My glasses hit it [it's right by my eyebrow] and it is soooo sore. It’s strange because I have never had skin problems. Sure the occasional blemish or two would pop up when I was a teen but I really try to take care of my skin. I have no idea where this is coming from.
Last but the most painful is my mouth. I have a tooth that has been starting to act up and it’s getting worse and worse every day. I got in to a dentist today and found out my gut instinct was right. I am going to have to have a root canal. I’ve had a root canal before and honestly it’s not that bad of a procedure. I just put on my headphones and listen to Dave Matthews and the sounds of motor cross/race cars/monster trucks that are going through my mouth [cause that's what the drills sound like in my head]. The problem is my tooth isn’t normal. It has a curved root and I am going to need to go to a specialist for my root to be removed.
The thing that is really effecting me is that our dental insurance has not kicked in yet [kicks in Dec 1st]. We are going to have to find a way to pay for this out of pocket. We already have a time for the root canal to take place [next Thursday] and so now we are on a deadline. Of course the need for a specialist is going to cost more. We have a few options to try first before we have a total meltdown but it’s just frustrating. My husband and I have different ways of approaching these situations too so it adds more tension. He is a ‘let’s get it done right now kind of guy’ and I’m a ‘crap this is overwhelming must deal with the emotional first and then get it done’.
Well, I’ve had some time to emotional absorb, process, sort it, and accept it. Time to get to work on getting some money together. Wish me luck cause serious I won’t be able to last until the 1st.
Oh no! Good luck.
I am praying that God will provide!
Dec. 1 is not that far off, let your dentist know your insurance situation. He can go into the tooth and relieve some of the pressure, prescribe some antibiotics which relieves most of your pain, which should get you through until your insurance kicks in. I’ve had this happen to me before,so I know what you’re going through. Hang in there! Praying for you.
