I am having so much trouble with my internet connection this morning....I am having trouble getting in here to post!
I agree with you, Macraven, about the dental pain and birthing pain being a close toss up! UGH!! I didn't think to offer that tooth under my pillow for the Tooth Fairy's consideration! But, I don't think that Tag Fairy would be interested in this tooth....!
They gave me a prescription for pain killer but I have just been taking Ibuprophen. If I took the pain killer, I probably would not be able to sit here and post!

They put a patch over the open socket and it is more irritating than anything else! That and the stitches have to sit for another week.
We don't have insurance and we had to pay at the time of the appointment or they wouldn't pull the darn thing. DH keeps pointing out how expensive I am!

At the cleaning appt I had yesterday, they found I have a cavity on the base of a tooth that has a gold crown so now we need to rip the crown off, fix the cavity, and put a new crown on. **sigh** Funny how they don't seem to be able to find these things when they are small and managable!?!!
We have some snow but only a few inches. It has been in the single digits during the day all week.....UGH!!
You guys all have fun on your trips and be careful so you make it back safely....I'll be here holding down the fort (wilderness, as it were).
