BEDA 15: The Dentist: The Saga Continues

Today was the day of my re-scheduled Dentist Appointment. That's right folks, the day had finally come! I was all prepared to have part of my mouth numb for the evening and possibly endure some pain. I go in, I sit in the chair, the Dental Nurse (I still don't know what they're called) makes small talk about school and gives me some kind of "topical" q-tip thing the numb my mouth so they could give me the anesthetic shot (I'm guessing) and leaves to get the Dentist. Another Dental Nurse comes in saying they want to take one more picture before they do anything. Once they took the x-ray, the Dentist comes in and asks if I came with anyone. "Um, my mom?" "What's her name?" "...Cathy?" The Dentist gets one of his assistants to go get Cathy. My mom comes in and the Dentist shows us the x-ray and my (stupidstupidstupidstupid) cavity is really close to the nerve. He said a bunch of things I don't understand, but what I got from it was this: The cavity is so close to the nerve that something bad (???) would happen if they tried to fill it and hit the nerve, so some kind of endodontist (shut up spell check that is a thing) needs to do sensitivity tests and possibly do a ROOT CANAL. UM. So they gave us a referral and my mom and I are like, we're going to have to do this soon because I leave for school in a WEEK. Ugh.

I do not want to have to get a Root Canal, but it's better than my tooth rotting away. I better get it done this week though. Seriously. Enough of this.

I was also supposed to get a new phone today, but when we went to the Verizon store they were OUT of the phone I wanted. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!?! So my mom is going to get it at another store on her lunch break tomorrow.

Upside of today: My mom and I went to a new coffee shop downtown and the inside looks like a mini Top Pot and I got a delicious latte and the lady who made it tried to make a dinosaur in the foam. It was adorable. I also got TWO NEW PAIRS of shoes! Some black flats and some white converse. I have been wanting flats FOREVS because I'd like to look like a girl when I wear dresses and skirts and stuff. I always either wear Keds or boots. So that's pretty awesome. Yeah.

Days until I leave for Seattle: 8
Days until school starts: 14
