Tomorrow is the day

Quick update:

Breagha's dental surgery is tomorrow. She is finally getting her teeth done! We started the process in Australia but after being told that it was going to cost $5500.00 (with coverage!), we thought we would see if she could wait until we got back to Canada. We were told that she could wait but to keep an eye on the teeth and any pain.

It was nice to be told the exact same thing in Brisbane and Montreal. She needs to have crowns on all her back teeth and then the canine teeth will basically be covered with a white filling. She has no enamel on her teeth (preemie thing) so they are very weak and have already started to crack/chip. And she may have her back teeth until she is 11-12 years old so the procedure needs to be done.

After arriving in Montreal in May I took Breagha to our old dentist. They confirmed the need for surgery and set me up with the specialist. $240.00 is the total cost! :) Glad we decided to wait. I still hate the idea of Breagha needing an anesthetic but there isn't anything we can do about it. She doesn't know that she'll be asleep for the procedure. I just told her that she will be getting a needle for the pain. Hopefully she'll cope well with everything.
Good luck little B.

And thennnnnn, I start work next week! Yeap, I start on Dec16 and I'm pretty excited. It's with my old company and it's a 3 month contract. I passed up a contract in September as I had just started my French course. But, I didn't want to pass up another. The extra money will be awesooooooome! I'll be working in a different department so new stuff to learn. And I'll be working from home. So, super happy about that. Thank you to my friend Suzy for being so great to me! She's been wonderful. I'll still have a week off for the holidays so we'll be hanging out in Ottawa!
