Week Eighteen, Day Three and Some Not so Fun News

I took off of work today to rest up a little and I had an endodontist appointment this afternoon to see if I needed a retreatment on my root canal. This morning was good, because I got to sit around, relax, and blog.

I ended up getting bad news at my appointment though. The dentist found a dark spot on my x-ray and said I might need a retreatment on my root canal. I went to the endodontist to see if it was nothing or not. It ended up I have a little bit of bone loss around one root of the tooth I had a root canal on two years ago. Somehow bacteria got in there and infected it. It might have to do with my crown not fitting properly or somehow bacteria got in there during my root canal. It is most likely the crown, so I have a lot of fun ahead of me at the endodontist and dentist. I have to have my crown removed, the stuff inside my roots taken out, medicine put in, new stuff put back into my roots after the medicine is done, and then have a new crown made. The good news is that the endodonist is not charging me anything, because they guarntee their work. Which if the crown is the problem, it is not technically their fault. My insurance would cover most, if not all of it, anyway, but it is nice of them.

My weight has been bothering me for a while now. I've been stuck in the same area and my weight keeps fluctuating. My lowest weigh in last week was 196. This week it has been up to 198.5 and down to 197. It would be nice just to see that number go down and not up and down.

It would be nice to get a little done tonight, so we'll see if I get some exercise in taking down, carrying down to the basement, and packing away Halloween decorations.
