Went to the dentist recently
a month ago
General
Got a tooth yanked. It was abscessed, and an examination determined it was likely cracked in a way that a root canal wouldn't fix. As abscesses simply don't heal and can possibly become life-threatening, I opted for extraction. So now I'm sitting here down a molar, waiting for this hole in my mouth to heal up so I can get a replacement later. Most likely a partial, as there is no way I can afford an implant. And where I don't have any kind of insurance, all of this is coming out of pocket. I've already missed a few days of work due to recovery, and I've been on a steady diet of yogurt and masked potatoes.
So... yeah. That's what I've been up to this week.

OP
I'm doing a lot better today. I was actually able to work today, even though of all days I had to come back it had to be one of the busiest days we've ever had in some time.

OP
Thanks! The wound is healing and I'm able to eat more of my normal foods without discomfort. Eating only yogurt and Jell-O got old real quick. I worked yesterday for the first time all week after the operation and got to eat my first real meal of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes.
