the root canal went as expected…painful and all!  torward the end…guessing maybe for 20-30 minutes I could feel pain.   At first they assured me my jaw was just tired and in pain…a few minutes later has he was drilling again I winced and he knew I could really feel it because his movements got much quicker and I heard the assistant say, oh that one didnt take that long….guessing he wanted to get it done so I wouldnt start screaming at him in pain, he looked at his watch at one point when I said it hurt.  trying to figure out how much he could get done without numbing me more I suppose.   He also said one root was calcified and that may eventually need extracted or another surgery if it causes problems.  Fun times…

The glitch that happened before still has me upset.  We have a flexible spending acct for medical stuff, thus why we waited til the new year to get this done, since it started over.   So I went to pay today and they have blocked our acct.  although when I called this morning it said we have $3000 available to spend.  Apparently not for some reason. Since it was making me late they let me go ahead and get it done because she said “she trusted me” So now I owe them $200 and will need to pay out of pocket for the dumb crown that I must get before next Friday…..did I mention we will already have to pay the mortgage late this month, again.   Got about $100 in medicine refills I was hoping to pay for w/ the flexible spending today and we cant.  $3000 for medical expenses that we cant access.   I am so upset and unsure how we’ll manage til we get it worked out w/ the flexible spending account.    Makes me sick to think of it.  I may need to get a real job soon if things done get better for us financially…then how do we afford childcare?  blah..it’s a vicious cycle of not having enough money….and the gas prices have gone up to $3.19 here, or so the new says, I tried not to look as I drove by the gas station today!
