Today's plans

Going for my dental cleaning today. I was originally supposed to go in January but the hygienist scheduled it for a day when the office was closed so it had to be postponed. And today was the available date.
I am not looking forward to it (I hate being at the dentist office) but I have to go. At least it gets me out of the house... I keep myself in the house too much.
And then I may end up going to my mom's house. Her bathtub seems clogged and she wants to see if I can use my little snake to unclog it. I don't even remember where it is. Gotta search for it among the clutter.

@RebeccasFarm nah. I’m like that with anyone. Dental offices are not my thing. I just can’t be chill and relaxed sitting in that chair. The hygienist always makes sure I’m ok and not in a lot of pain or discomfort. But still I’m not totally fine.

Once I sit down on that chair, before she even does anything, I am already not calm.

I may have to change dentists. They are moving and hubby’s new insurance is out of network.

@lovebuglena And not all dentists are equally good.

I hope it works out. I haven't been to the dentist in twenty-one years. I'm not exactly going to push for it.

@lovebuglena i should've gone years ago. I just refuse. I can still eat, so I'm fine.

I have stains on my teeth so have to go. Plus, if any cavities I won’t know about them unless they do x-rays and check my teeth.

@kaylachan as long as your teeth have no issues you should be ok. There was a period of many years when I didn’t go to a dentist. And once after not going for a while I ended up with a root canal.

I hope it went well at the dentist. I hope you found the snake so you could unplug your mother's tub.

@lovebuglena I'm glad it wasn't terrible. I'm sorry it hurt even with the numbing gel.

The little snake unclogged the tub a little bit but I think she still needs to go much deeper into the pipes.

I wasn’t super calm and it hurt a little in spots, even with numbing gel, but it wasn’t terrible. I have to come back in four months.

Today is my dental cleaning. I cancelled my last appointment and had to wait another 6 months to get in. It is 26F right now; and it won't be getting much warmer. I really dread going out today. I could use a snake for my toilet. Have a good day.

That’s terrible that you had to wait that long. Hope all will be well with your cleaning.

@lovebuglena Cleaning went well. Lost a piece of tooth about 2 weeks ago. Will have to make an appointment to get that filled in. They are scheduling in May for that.
