Haven't said anything about this for the last week, but my teeth were hurting, so I went to the dentist.
Not sure if it's the lack of fluoride in the water here (though we do have fluoride toothpaste), or what, but I needed EIGHT fillings! I've NEVER had this much trouble before.
It gets worse, though: a week ago, when the dentist tried to start on the fillings, the Novocaine just didn't help, so we got nothing done. Since then, I've gone back for additional appointments where she successfully filled the others, and the last one was supposed to be done today.
Well, again, the Novocaine didn't work, so she's referring me to an endodontist for a root canal.
Thus, the pain continues, and more $$$ are down the drain (and I'm not, exactly, on a high budget here - this will be about one and a half times what a whole month's expenses would usually cost).
Please pray for my withstanding this pain and, since there is still some pain in an upper tooth, as well (the problem is in a lower tooth on the same side), that I will only need the ONE root canal, and that that additional pain is just an extension of what I'm feeling in the lower tooth.

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
