Pretty Sure

having an abscessed tooth is one of the worst pains ever. My entire right side of my face hurts so much. Over the weekend I started having pain in the bottom right side of my mouth. I thought it was strange because the tooth that was hurting is one that I had a root canal done on 7 years ago and had a crown put on it 2 years ago. As the pain grew worse I knew this wasn't anything that was going away on its own. I was going to need some profressional help. Yesterday morning I called my dentist. They got me in right after lunch. Sure enough they confirmed it being an abscessed tooth and I also learned that the root canal that I received 7 years ago was not done properly. Now, I must see a specialist to have the problem fixed. This was not something I was looking forward to, but I guess that is life. Unexpected things happen all the time. I am thankful that I have treatment and care at my fingertips. Thankful for a dentist who will take my call the next day to call me in an order for pain medicine after I declined his offer the day before. Thankful that my mom lives close by to help with the kids while I make a mad dash to the dentist office. Thankful that my mom is willing to pick up my pain medicine for me so I don't have to load the kids up and drive to Duncan. Thankful that Jackson took a nap today that allowed me to take a nap. Jaycee is trustworthy enough to watch cartoons and I know she won't damage herself or anything in our house. As miserable as all of this is and how expensive it will be to have the problem taken care of I still have a choice in my attitude. The good definitely out weighs the bad. I am thankful for a God who loves and cares for me. That He hears my whining and complaining, but through His Word and the people He has blessed me with He encourages and reminds me that He is my perfect Father who knows my every need and He is my Provider and He will make a way!
