The good news? I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow for my annual checkup. I went in this morning for bloodwork. The results all look good. My a1c has come down more and I think the doctor will be happy. I know that I am.
The bad news? My dentist fit me into his schedule today because of a cancelation and verified what I had feared/thought. My upper left molar has cracked all the way to the jaw. It will have to be extracted by an oral surgeon. The good news in the bad news is that the back third of the tooth crack. It didn’t crack in half so the nerve wasn’t exposed. I’m not experiencing any nerve pain.
All this right around Christmas, New Year, and my annual Disney vacation though. Oy. I’m hoping that we can nurse the tooth until mid-January when I return from vacation. That way, if there’s any kind of complications, I’ll have plenty of time to have it addressed.
