So yesterday and today are not going well. Yesterday, I found out that I need two root canals done. Since both teeth are located in the same area as my permanent nerve damage (caused by extracting a wisdom tooth), I am spectulating that is the cause of the necrotic nerves in those teeth. WebMD confirms that trama to the face or teeth can lead to nerve deterioration. I guess only time will tell if the other teeth are similarly affected. Joy.
Today, I learned that Mars extended my contract through June which is not quite the news I was hoping for. Apparently I did not do a good job of preparing myself for this possibilty because I am quite bummed. I was all set to discuss being hired permanently and I really really want to get rid of the Cobra insurance payment - $662.00 a month. At least it is tax deductible.
Let's see - how to end this positively.
1. The root canal will end the pain.
2. I have dental insurance.
3. My sister worked for this dentist and feels he is really good.
4. I have a job that pays enough to cover my share of our bills.
5. I really like my job.
6. The spring semester starts tomorrow.
7. I am in the countdown towards graduation.
8. I have not succombed to the lure of Diet Coke.
9. Menhir is the weekend.
10. My husband loves me.
