toothless hillbilly

(Chris these pictures are for you!!! :)

So these two ugly, bloody, huge teeth are my old teeth that I just had pulled out. (one today, and the other last Thursday)
I had a canker on my bottom gum under a crown that would leak and it started in February.... It didn't really bother me at all, and I didn't think it had anything to do with my tooth. Then last week I used some medicine to get ride of the canker and then that caused my tooth and gums to hurt very, very, very bad!!!! So I went in and they saw that I had somehow cracked the root under the crown and that was why my gums were leaking. They got that pulled out and then sent me home thinking that would fix the problem but it just kept getting worse. I was in so much pain on Monday night that I fell to the floor and had to cry..... Then took a trip to the ER so I could get some pain killers so I could at least sleep through the night.
I went to the Dentist as soon as I could today and they found that the top tooth also had a crack in it and was the reason I was in so much pain. The problem was below the gum so we decided to pull it out......
I feel like such a hillbilly, and it will be a long time before my bones will heel so that I can have a implant put in.... I think they said it would be about nine months or so before it will all be done.


Sorry for the gross pictures but I have to have it for my book and to scare my kids so they will always remember to brush there teeth!!!!! But you can see that my bottom tooth is missing and my top back tooth is also missing.
My crown that we have paid more that $1500 for..... and the other tooth that was pulled today.... You can see the crack on the bloody tooth, and the crack on the crown on the picture at the top.

Close up of my huge hole in my mouth..... so I didn't realize how huge your teeth really are. They were able to stitch up my bottom tooth but for some reason there was not enough tissue to stitch up the top so there is just a large hole.... I am a little freaked out about eating and getting things stuck in it......
I am really starting to wonder if I am being punished for something, and if not..... why in the world does everything always happen all at once?
