The silly photo spares you a picture of my actual mouth.

I find myself without dental insurance and in need of a root canal. Unfortunately for me, my impacted wisdom teeth are in the way of getting that root canal, so a lot of dental care is coming my way.

I had hoped to be in a better financial position to get this all taken care of sooner, but I'm not. My tooth hurts. My wisdom teeth have always kind of hurt. In my current financial situation, I made the decision to be in pain, but that can't last much longer. My health, my sleep, and my emotional state are all taking a toll at this point. Even my writing is suffering, as shown by this statement.

I don't ask lightly and I'm pretty frustrated with myself to have to ask.

Here's the breakdown:

I appreciate anything you could spare. Thank you.
