Excuse my vent!......

I'm going to vent just a moment:

We have been sitting here waiting for my "dentist" to call me regarding my tooth problem, and finally got sick of waiting and hub went over there...it's just around the corner, and there's this sign on the door that "they are in training today"!!!! I HAD HOPED that my Dentist WAS TRAINED!!!!! Not a soul there. So, they won't be back till tomorrow.

GOOD GRIEF!!! I'm tempted to go somewhere else - - but then just have to start all over. The LEAST they could have done was to inform their patients on the phone MESSage that no one was there - - instead they just said to call at 8:30am. HA!!!

Well, thank goodness that I'm no longer in agony. I have a very high tolerance for pain and in this case that's a darn good thing.

Ha!! Maybe I'll lose a pound!!

Sorry.

tracy.

Oh my gosh I'm so glad you dh went over there and found out at least. I can't imagine your dentist not having that in his message + the name of a buddy *emergency* dentist.

Bless your heart. I'm sure glad the tooth has tamed down to a low roar.

>Ha!! Maybe I'll lose a pound!!

**Heck of a way to do it but keep that attitude. :)

Big Hugs,

~Golly~

Awww {{{Tracy}}}

Sorry to hear this about your dentist hon ..

Good thing your DH went over there otherwise you may have been waiting all day for that call! You're right ..

You'd think they would have let patients know as well as finding a happy medium to please everyone

Good to hear you're stronger than the pain

>>Maybe I'll lose a pound!!

**Not a fun way to lose .. but ..

Take care hon :)

Hi Jo and welcome!!

Boy, you have That right about a good dentist!!

Here's an update~ I'm sure everyone's just waiting on edge to know What is going ON!(LOLOL)

Well, the doc office called and this gal says to me: The Doc's not back till Wednesday, and then he's booked up for the next TWO WEEKS!!!!!

I said - FIne thank you --I'll be finding a NEW dentist.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then, after I sat there sufficiently mad, she calls Back and says she "just" got a cancellation - - want to come in Wed at 2??? It's what I LIVE FOR!!! Sure.

Well, after this emergency (yeah) is fixed, I AM finding a new dentist. Can you believe this??? grrrrrrrrrrr.

Sorry, , , , Jo, I really am a decent person...I would love for you to stick around the board I "normally" am pretty nice! :o)

lolol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Man oh man...aren't you glad you have this board to come to and VENT!!!!!!

That's ridiculous...I would STILL check out the other dentist in town, perhaps.

I know it means starting all over, like you said, but just have this jerk send

your records and they can take it from there.

Perhaps you can go hang out at the lake & ask folks which dentist THEY would

recommend......just a thought:) LOLOL

Tracy, sweetie, you are talking to the lady that used to have to talk herself out of pulling the dentist's light out of the wall!! Heeheehee, even us "normal" ladies have our breaking points!

Don't guess you are in Oklahoma, huh? If you are I'd be happy to give you my wonderful dentist's name! He "babys" me, without me feeling like a baby. & it has nothing to do with pain tolerance! I've had four kids no prob, but mess with my teeth??? YIKES!

Anyway, you just hang in there!!!
