UGH!
So my tooth has been hurting, it was like my whole bite was off. so i made an appointment today which worked out because brad's guy that he interns with wasnt there today. so i pumped a bottle and brad came home and off i went to the dentist. i was thinking all they would have to do was just fix my bite. NO! he says you have two options, a root canal or pull the tooth. of course i opt for the root canal. so he doesnt even finish it today and i have to come back in a week so as i am making that appointment (celeste will be here for that, thank goodness) she says "you know medicaid doesnt cover root canals right?" i'm like "NO!" how the heck am i supposed to know that? its $735 and they already started. had i known i would have just gotten it pulled! so i am trying NOT to break down right in front of her, i get to the car, call celeste, when i hang up with her i just start bawling. i am all worried how brad is going to take this and when i get home i tell him and he says "dont worry, we'll figure it out" and gives me a BIG hug. how we'll pay for it all i dont know. on top of that i am STARVING because i havent been able to close my mouth let alone chew food. i want to bawl some more and take a nap. and when this shot wears off it is going to KILL and i still have to go back. as of right now, a root canal is WAY worse than labor!!

hopefully they will let you make payments- we had a similar situation with an emergency room visit i had to make for a chronic migraine *ugh* and we're still paying it off but, at least it's only $50 a month!
ask what their terms are, ally. it all works out girl, somehow it does! keep paying that tithing!
we love you guys, congrats on the precious little girl!
Ohh, that stinks. I am sorry. I have had to have a root canal and they hurt!!! But the cost hurts the most.
I would defiantly ask if you could just make payments for the next little while. Especially since they didn’t let you know all the details before hand.
Hope you get feeling better.

It will be okay. Have some ice cream. It melts in your mouth and it will make you feel better.
They should let you do payments. I did dentist work in Rexburg. My bill was $1000! I was able to do payments. Never fear! We're all rooting for you, oops bad pun, sorry:D
Oh man! It sounds like its been a crazy few weeks for you guys! We're thinking about you!
