oh dilemma, oh the drama, oh the tension and excitement of it all
Cookies to anyone who can tell me where that quote in the subject line is from. Cassie doesn't count.
So I went to the dentist the other day after my last post. I hate dentists. This one wasn't particularly any better, though his nurses were very nice.
Needless to say I have lots upon lots of dental issues and some expensive choices to make. I can either have about four teeth removed and possibly have no chewing teeth left, because the way my teeth have grown over the years they aren't lined up properly for chewing and my dentist is surprised I can even chew well now. At least two of them are completely unsavable so I'm at least going to have to get those removed. I could work on saving the others, but I'm going to have to get a root canal done on each by a serious professional because I apparently have strange roots, where they go down my teeth like normal but then take a ninety degree turn near the gum line. I don't know. Then I can work on getting the cavities taken care of and then crowned off because they're so decayed. But because of that last part, I'd also have to have gum-lowering surgery. Which would be expensive. OR. I could get them all removed and get implants. Which would be expensive. And this is just the start. Once I decide what to do with the big stuff I have to work on all my other cavities which haven't gotten as bad yet.
So that's where I'm at there.
After the dentist we went to wait for my brother to get out of his appt with the Group Health DR. downtown. He's had a headache for the last few days straight and went in about it. I was expecting it to be an in and out thing pretty much. Maybe we'd be there for an hour at the most. Nope. We were there for about five hours.
It seems my brother tried to kill himself last weekend, without my knowing it. (he basically locked himself in his room all weekend except when he'd come out to watch TV. Nothing seemed wrong). He mentioned this to the doctors I guess, because they called in a social worker and they were trying to get him into Fairfax, the mental hospital. That's where he's at now.
I don't know why, what for, or anything really. When we left Group Health that night he seemed to be in good spirits. We joked about it all the way to Fairfax. So I have no idea. He's there until Tuesday at the very least, possibly longer.
In other news guess what it's doing here. It's snowing~! :| I'm so over this snow thing.
Got accepted at Tenihime and am going to work on my IRA app today. Hopefully. Kintarou's already giving me some stuff. Hopefully he'll be an easy kid.
Also Kaori's father wants me to profile him. :| I'm not sure how I feel about this.
