I'm highly annoyed. I went to the dentist today....which is bad enough (and if you add the fact that the air conditioning was broken and Maria got her teeth picked in the heat....AND was stuck to the chair by the time it was over)....but I didn't get a good report. Since I was a freshman in college I started having TERRIBLE acid reflux. I'm not sure why...but the more I had to sing, the more I've noticed it. Over my college career I have lost my voice 2 different semesters, which basically puts the life of a vocal music major on hold. Anyway, I go to the dentist today for a basic cleaning and find out that my mouth is cluttered with cavities because the acid from my reflux is eating away at my enamel. Also, I have these little lines and such on my teeth (looks like I had braces, but I didn't)..which the dentist says could be from an illness as a child causing my enamel to not form like it's supposed to. He's telling me this after I've been going to him for years....I have this toothpaste that's like $10 a tube, it's supposed to be miracle fluoride...well last year they told me I had some weak spots, and to use this toothpaste to help me with the chronic sensitivity (hot, cold, sweets....they all put me in pain). Well, I used it for like a month last year and I couldn't tell difference in the way my teeth felt, so I kinda let it go. Well I go in there today and get this bad report and was told that the toothpaste was supposed to prevent this from happening. It just looks like if my teeth were in such danger of having this many cavities due to my unfortunate stomach, I would've been told how important this toothpaste would've been and exactly what was at stake. I go back Wednesday for I don't even know how many fillings.....3, 4, 5. This is coming from someone who flosses everyday and brushes like I'm getting paid for it. Ahhh, frustration is setting in as I'm being told that I have a ton of cavities...I've only had maybe 2 or 3 filled the other 21 years of my life. Bah! My mood is no good. My reflux is wearing on me again...stomach is one big ball of fire, voice is suffering. I'm changing the subject....
On my birthday, a terrible lightening storm came.... and lightening actually struck right next to my house and put its mark on a tree in my uncle's yard. Crazy part is...we were finding chunks of the tree ALL OVER the place....it's crazy how far it blew the bark off!! Well I'm super tired from driving home from Boone and fighting cavities today....so I'm going to bed!
