Quick Update

Not much going on this week. My teeth are very clean and all he cavaties are filled. I had my tooth pulled and have my surgery appt. on Dec 29th. I get that week off work so I don't have to use a vacation day for it. James is a little sick but nothing serious. Other then that we are doing great. Can't wait to see family at Thanksgiving. I miss everyone a lot. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Maybe I'll have more next week.

Implants???

We had a wonderful time in Disneyworld. Of course we did both get food poisoning for about 12 hours but we didn't let it ruin our trip. We got to do everything we wanted to and ride our favorites a few more times. The weather was warmer then I was expecting but it was a lot cooler than last summer and a lot less crowded.

Now, on to the title of my post. Yes, I am most likely getting an implant, but not where most people do. I am getting a tooth implant. One of my pre-molars doesn't have an adult tooth under it, and I still have that baby tooth. I am getting that removed today because it has started to give me some pain. I went to see an oral surgeon yesterday about getting an implant. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but it is my only real option. If you want to see what I am taking about, you can check out his website. www.texaswisdom.com. Go to the services section and then click on "are implants right for you." It is not for the faint of heart, though. My, I am really nervous, but I won't have it for about 8-10 weeks so that the area can heal. It is about a 6 month process. Please pray for us during this time not only for the surgery, but also for the financial portion. I should know in about 3 weeks if my insurance covers it.
