Went to the dentist this morning and have irrepairable root nerve damage or something like that to my lower rear molar. A couple of options, none fun or cheap! A slight infection was found and I was given anitbiotics to clear it up. I guess that's why I've been feeling kind of rundown. And I thought it was from overdoing it. Okay, this is the third health issue that has plagued me since my arrival in NC so it is the last, right?
I'm waiting to hear what my insurance will cover before I decide on my course of action. I have 3: 1 - extract the tooth and wait to see if the remaining teeth move enough to cause a problem, 2 extract the tooth and have a 3 crown bridge inserted (expensive but comprehensive) or 3 - a root canal and crown (also expense and will also involve a 2 nd crown of neighboring tooth. I'm thinking that option 1 is the cheapest and fastest fix and then can add the crown at a future date if necessary.
One of these days, my blog will be more about running and having fun.
I'm still hoping to get to the gym today to get a spin workout in but will see how I'm feeling in a few hours.
