Well, it looks like I am going to have to get the root canal after all.

The last time I saw my dentist, she told me that if the pain came back, that I'd have to get one, no doubt about it.

The pain is back - two-fold.

I'm going to call her Monday morning and see the first available time to get in and get this done is. The thing is, I'm supposed to have a regular doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning, then go the geological library after that. So . . if my appt ends up being Tuesday afternoon, I may very well be out of the office most of Tuesday.

I'm almost thinking I should reschedule my doctor appointment to next week.

Financially, it really would have been better to have had the root canal done last year. That way the root canal would have mostly been paid for by my insurance, and then had the crown done this year and be mostly paid for by my insurance. Now . . . a whole lot of it is going to be out of pocket.

Ugh! If it's not one thing, then it's another.
