Dentist

I went to the dentist today. I'm almost positive I'd rather be any other place on this earth than at the dentist. It's not that he's not a nice man, he is. I'd just rather not spend my time and/or money there.

I was there for an hour and a half. He filled one tooth and prepared the other for a crown. Holy crap! There were a couple of times I was positive he was going to break my jaw.

For some reason, the lower left side of my mouth takes a prayer and an act of congress to go numb. I'm not even sure how many times he gave me shots. I think he gave me shots 5 or 6 different times. I was numb until 2:30.

Once, when I was in beauty school, I had an abscess. Ever had one? HOLY BALLS THEY HURT! I was 19 and it was the first time I cried at the dentist. That might not be true. Maybe I cried when I was a child? I don't know. I'll change that. I was 19 and it was the first time I remember crying at the dentist. The dentist, not my own, wouldn't wait for me to go numb. It was on a weekend and my mom had to call him at home. Not fun.

I have horrible teeth. Nathan seems to be following suit. He's had 4 fillings and needs 5 more. Speaking of that; I got a call from his dentist today. A while back she referred me to another dentist in SF. I haven't taken him there because....I suck? I don't know why I haven't I guess - I just haven't. So his dentist - not her secretary - but the actual dentist called today and left me a voice mail. Here was her message:

Hi Kerrie. This is Dr. ____ calling from _______.
I got a letter from (the place where you haven't called yet) where you were supposed to take Nathan to get his cavities filled. It basically says that you never set up an appointment, so I'm just fallowing up to make sure that Nathan's health care is being attended to. Please give our office a call back and let us know where things stand or if you decided to take him somewhere else so that we can update his records and make sure that he's getting the care that he needs. Our office number is ______. I DO need to hear back from you by Wed. at 6 o'clock. Thank You.

My response?

Or what?!

I had Justin listen to the message and he said the same thing - or what? I guess I'll find out of Thursday. Nathan's health care? Is she serious?

Anyway - that's what I did today. Oh - and colored my hair. It didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted it, but it will do. I'm going to have to highlight it again because it's way to dark (and red). All in due time.

Don't even ask me to post pictures. You wanna see it - make an appointment. :o)
