Marv's Mind

Sucker Punched!

I chatted in scroll for a while today and got all excited thinking maybe just maybe I could save and make it to the convention next year.

I had a dentist appointment today to have a loose filling replaced. Zoo asked me how much I needed and I told him "not sure, around $40." He decided to leave a blank check so I could fill in the exact amout upon completion of the procedure.

As I drove to the dentist I thought of different ways I could cut corners and budget the convention into next year. I got excited and thought it was actually possible.

I arrived at the dentist, showed him the problem and then smiled pretty for the x-rays. That's when it happened....WHAM!!! (SUCKER PUNCHED SO HARD IT KNOCKED MY FUCKIN' TOOTH OUT!)

Doc told me that there was decay around the filling and that I needed a crown and possible root canal! WHAM!!! What the fuck?

So when Zoo comes home tonight from golf I won't have a bill to give him....just an estimate. He's gonna shit his britches! With insurance we're still talking over $600 bucks out of pocket to be paid in full, up front at the time of the procedure. Fuckers! Dental plans suck!

I'm slowly watching my dreams of being a "convention goer" fade away.

Marv is stressed!
