Unplanned Dental Trip

Well, the nightmare happened again. I had to go to the dentist. Don't get me wrong, I really like my dentist. He is a very nice man and tries very hard to do the impossible, make me comfortable. He has a great office, very modern and up-to-date equipment. He works with his wife, so it is very calm yet professional , at least as far as they go. I, on the other hand am not calm. I start feeling anxious on the trip there and as I walk into the room with the banana shape chair my legs turn to jello. I am not normally such a wimp, after all eight births with no drugs is nothing to take lightly,but somehow this is different.
Well, with a lot of prayer and some wiggling in my seat, I made it through once again. I thought hurray, I did it. That changed suddenly as I was given the bill. I had to have a x-ray and some work on on three teeth as one cavity had spread to the tooth beside it( bad spacing). Well I was so surprised to see the bill, I had to look twice. I almost had to ask the lady at the desk to confirm the amount. Unfortunately for me, the amount was correct. $583.00. I still think I want to cry. I just can't help but think of all the things I could have bought for that much money. Well, no new make up, spring clothes,etc... for a few more paydays.
