A horror so great that even strong men crumble at it's feet.
I am going to the DENTIST. 0_0
Back in 2007 (before I knew how many babies I actually wanted) I started taking the birth control pill Yasmin a few months prior to my wedding. I thought that this would solve a multitude of problems...sadly, it created a whole mess of new ones. A month into the marriage I was 100 pounds heavier than when I started. I first got concerned when I had to let my wedding dress out only 3 weeks after doing the fitting. By the time 100 pounds passed me by, I was panicking.
But that wasn't the worst part. At the same time my immune system decided that it was going on hiatus. Since then I have gotten 99.9% of all crud that I have come in contact with (yes, even the swine flu). But that's not all folks! My wonderful teeth gave way to tiny white demons of destruction. Without dental insurance I wasn't in a position to figure out why I couldn't chew anything crunchy or eat anything hot or cold.
In an effort to lose weight, bolster my pathetic immune system, and save my hurting teeth...I began to cut out sugars, fats, and other bad-ish things. I started buying all of my food fresh and organic so that I could make well-balanced meals. For a considerable time I even went to the gym every single night and came home a pile of nasty.
So far nothing has worked. I'm fat, I get sick, and my teeth hurt. And this brings me to the present.
I put myself $3,500 in debt to save my teeth. With a free consultation I discovered that I was on the verge of losing nearly 6 of my teeth. This was intensely irritating considering how much time I put into keeping my teeth awesome. I brush, I floss, I have regular cleanings for crying out loud! Alas, tomorrow I go in to have my four wisdom teeth removed (will this make me less wise?), four teeth filled, and one crown put in.
Moral to the story: Babies are good for your health! ;)
