A Mouthful of Woe: One Woman's Dental Ordeal

[mommyhugz1978]

So this isn't a huge ordeal well to me it is..... I found out yesterday after waking up with my left side of my mouth swollen to the size of a grapefruit that I have five abscess teeth after going to the Dentist yesterday. I have to have five teeth pulled in two weeks.. YEAH lovely what a wonderful month to have this happen in.. the month that I have 12 shows booked!!! And to make matters worse I have a year waiting period before my insurance pays for extractions that is up in Feb of next year... So we have to pay $1000.00 out of our own pocket for this one...:yuck: :cry: !!!! I really could use a few extra prayers right now.... thanks in advance!!

Sorry Leah! That's such a hard thing to deal with. On the plus side, at least you have 12 shows booked! That'll help you cover the $1000 hopefully right? With that said, I just prayed for you. Your teeth will either be put miraculously back into place without having to have all 5 pulled and/or the Lord will provide the extra finances you need to take care of this. He knew you would need this before you did.

Leah,I will keep you in my prayers. My August commission went for a wisdom tooth. I had to put off my crown because of cost. We put our trust in God. Many months we wondered how we would last two more weeks until a paycheck. When you lay it down in front of him, he will provide. Where in Oregon are you? I'm in McMinnville.Julie

Goodness Leah that is awful. Mom had one abscess the other day. That can be a terrible thing - I cannot i magine 5 at one time!!! Praying for your speedy recovery and for your pocket book!

Oh, my mom's was $500 for ONE tooth, so, it could be worse, HA!

Leah~

God will provide what you need here....$$, and a speedy recovery so you can do your shows!! I pray that your pain meds work for you till you can get it done!

Why do they have to wait two weeks? That seems like a long time for you to be dealing with this!

Because my mouth has a serious infection in it.....and that was the soonest they could get me in...... The swelling has gone down a great deal... and the pain in minimal ...... Thanks for sending me prayers.... I can use some extra ones over the next few weeks.....
