Okay, people who love me...I need your prayers.
As everyone is aware, too aware due to my whining, I have horrible teeth issues. Well, things are not coming to a close even though I thought yesterday's root canal would take care of pretty much the last of it all. WRONG! To my utter disappointment, when the dentist in Texas did the first root canal on that tooth, he put in permenant cement that my current endodontist cannot drill through. Believe me, he tried. I feel like Indiana Jones laid his famous right hook across my jaw. I have recovered enough that I might be able to chew on a cube of room temperature butter...if I take it slow.
Anyway, he hollowed out as much as he could but the infection that lies under my tooth needs to heal. He put some serious antibacterial "stuff" in there and left it unsealed and if what he did yesterday doesn't clear up the infection by the time I see him again in 2 weeks.......I'm jumping off the nearest overpass. My precious tooth will have to be...gulp...EXTRACTED. Dun, dun, dun.
Now, if any of you have figured it out already, you know what this means. I have had the tooth right next to that one already extracted and the current tooth is the anchor to my bridge. If that one comes out...no anchor. Which leads me directly to IMPLANTS. Yes, screws driven into your jaw with a hammer drill and hacksaw, or something equally as horrific.
IMPLANTS=VERY VERY NOT GOOD=$4000 each=BYE BYE POSSIBLY BUYING A HOME
So, I am hoping that my audience of this blog will do me a huge favor. Instead of handing over your life savings, I am asking if you would just remember me and my family in your prayers. I am gathering every ounce of faith that I have to ask for a miracle. I have really tried to take all this with gratitude that it isn't something more serious but I feel like I have reached my limit of patience. I NEED A MIRACLE. I just need my tooth to heal so that I don't have to lose her. Right now, I am not allowing myself to even consider the alternative. I, mentally and physically, can't handle it.
If Christ can raise men from the dead, certainly Heavenly Father will heal a tiny infection. Prayers...just prayers.

Have you thought about a p. blessing? I'm so sorry for all your teeth issues. I hope everything is fixed soon. You're very brave to keep going back, I think most of us would just try to live in denial. Prayers are the least we can do!
