We still havn't had the oppertunity to get at the other "present" my wife mentioned Christmas day.
Well, it appears that the Snook household has been visited several Christmas Ghosts' this weekend. Not only did the Ghost of Christmas "Present" show up Saturday Night with all of the wonderful gifts around the tree. But then Sunday night, appearently the Ghost of Christmas Past showed up as well. In this case, it took on the form of the Tooth Fairy.
My wife got up about mid-morning and came into the kitchen. At first I thought of Marlin Brando in the GodFather. But when I looked at her face again, I realized that the "marbles" were only on one side. I knew right away that the Tooth Fairy from H$ll had stopped by and left my wife a "gift". Yep, you guessed it, an Abscessed Tooth! She had said Christmas day while we were our her sisters house, that one of her teeth was bothering her a little. And Wow, how do those things pop up so darn fast?
OMG, my wife, the poor thing, she looked pretty bad. Like someone had really socked her in the jaw. In between keeping our D10 busy, I spent the day making phone calls, filling fresh ice packs and letting my wife get some rest. We have dental insurance, but neither one has gone to a dentists is so long, I didn't know who our designated dentist was or who to call. There were no answers at the 1-800 #'s. In the end, my MIL came through. Appearently one of her friends, is the mother of my wifes family's regular dentist. It's the one my W and her sisters all went to when they were little. It's a real family practice because all of his childern have become dentists too. So, she already has an appointment first thing this morning with one of the dentists sons (Thanks Mom). I told my wife that I'd take today off to help her so that she didn't have to drive the 50+ mile round trip alone by herself with D10. She was starting to get some pain and throbbing later last night, but is sleeping quitely now.
Murphy strikes again. Why do these things seem to only happen on Holiday weekends when all of the Dr's office's are closed. We'll see how today goes, hopefully she can get some relief.
As far as the Christmas Nookie?
Well, Abscess makes that Heart Grow Fonder...
Snook.
