July 24

I was supposed to have my wisdom teeth pulled out (I only have 2 on the bottom row) but it turned out to be over $750 out of pocket, so now I still have them.  Keep in mind I made the appointment over 6 weeks ago so I could line it up with my week long vacation from work, the plan was to have the teeth pulled on Monday, the first day of my week off so I would have plenty of time to relax at home and recover.  The day before I'm scheduled to take my week off, the dentist office calls me back with the out of pocket amount which is now more than twice what they told me.  I told them very frankly I didn't have that amount, and they offered me some "Easy financing" which I've posted about in the past, no thank you.  So, I cancelled my appointment and am now looking for some place cheaper to have at least one of the teeth pulled.  My friends tell me since they're not hurting I shouldn't bother pulling them, just leave them be, but I think they are messing up my gumline.  How disappointing.  I really didn't do anything with my week off except drive up to Kentucky to visit family for a few days.  That's always fun, I got to show off my new tattoo.  My Grandfather didn't seem impressed.
