TOOTHACHE CHRONICLES 😏

Wadauuuu 🤗 wakurugenzi wakuu 💪 watu wangu wa maana, happy new month! Happy new half of the year 😅. I heard someone dismiss 2020 and indicated that they would skip the year on counting their age😅lol.
Anywho🤗, let's hope the rest of the year gonna be friendly to us. Toothache manenos it is!

Sasaa wadau, my teeth are usually so sensitive during cold seasons, but this season did not come along with sensitivity only but serious pain. I have had a long history with my teeth since I was young. I have lost several teeth, had a root canal and several tooth refilling ☹️. I can't afford to lose an extra tooth again, especially at my age, maaaan!😒😒

On these fateful days, I ignored the pain and assumed that the pain was due to the July cold approaching! Well, I tried serious painkillers like betapyn but this particular toothache, shamelessly, didn't respect it☹️😭😭 I didn't sleep well that night and swore that this time round, I would set off at dawn to visit the dentist. From 2am in the morning, the pain was too sharp☹️🤦
I woke up and prepared for the day. I decided to call my dentist, "my" sounds "cool" let me just say I called the dentist usidhani  nikona lanes my fren😂😅. He doesn't pick the call. Well, there is a very good dental clinic he sent me for scanning last time, I thought I could go for consultation and at least I will be aware what the  issue was since the tooth had undergone a root canal earlier.

Ndo huyo Mimi, I first of all report to work and excuse myself. Ayaaa, I walk to Electricity House till Molars Dental Practice 😊. I promise you that they got amazing dental services but my friend you pocket will sweat like mine did that day🤦😂.
I get to the reception and make enquiries. I should be seeing the dentist in a few. The consultation fee is sh. 2000. Well, let me get quality check up and then I can work it out from there.
I grab a seat in their beautiful reception. Juice, water, tea? You can serve yourself as you wish as you chill at the reception! Nilikwambia huku mdau, they got quality services but only me and you know why the quality services, in the long run you gonna pay for them🤣🤣
My toothache inatambua cold and hot stuff like 'nasenz'😅. For today, am okay. Tutakula baadaye if possible!🤷
Wadau, I won't lie to you, I am so scared at this point. I am scared so much, I can't imagine those tools on me, "Lord, I have had enough in the past, please take away this cup from me"🤣😂😂 Jesus and I almost said the same prayers at our terrible times😂😂 I have lost enough teeth aki, waah!
I get a ticket to proceed to surgery room 7🤭. Did they have to call it a surgery room? Can't it just be room 7??! 😂😂 The term surgery makes all my nerves stand still. Leave alone that dental seat, I hate it with passion but again I have no option 😭😭.

I meet a friendly Dr. Wachira and his assistant Dr. Regina. I lie on the seat as he examines me. He tells me that my gum needs to be treated bla bla.
"Regina, call Dr. Paul, tell him we have an emergency!" Gosh, am crying 😭😭 emergency tena?! On me? Weeuh, I am totally scared wadau, totally scared, but I have a certain feeling that I will walk out having known the root problem to my dental system.
Dr. Paul arrives, "I want you to take some scans here, a 3D scan like the one we did yesterday, I need it so clear. Take a normal scan as well." Dr. Wachira said.
Oooooh, sigh of relief 😂😂
Before I proceed to the scanning room, daktari briefs me on the scanning cost, "so Venecity, for both scans you will pay 6000 and a consultation fee of 2000"
Wadau, "mbeca baribari ngîrî inyanya"😂😂 8 sausands, za Kenya ama Tanzania🤣🤣🤣
Ask no more, ksh. 8000, being the sales person I am, bargaining can work, why not! "TBH daktari, I was not aware that I would need all those services now so I ain't prepared. I am used to the normal scan that costs only ksh 1500." Daktari asks me how much I could afford. I grab my phone and check my mpesa balance. Say no more, I kulad chama last week wadau😂😂💪
"Daktari, I can afford only ksh 5000 for both consultation and scans."
"Well, that's way too low but let me check how I can help." He finally agreed 😄.
I am directed to the cool scanning room, am not new here, this is the third time I am visiting this scary room. Weeuh, Sawa tu. I get scanned and get back to the dentist 😊. Wait for it! Wakurugenzi wakuu, nawaita a miniharambee to support my dental fixing 😭😭😭
I meet another client and so I have to chill in the next room, once the dentist is done we can now discuss the way forward.

Wadau, the dentist gets to the screen and we analyse the scans together.
"Venecity, the tooth that had a root canal has an infection and it will therefore undergo a surgical procedure known as epicectomy. This is done by taking off the tip of the tooth root as well as the infected tissue surrounding the area." I am all listening wadau as I lie on the dental seat.
Twende moja kwa moja hadi penye niliponea na nikaamka polepoleee🤣🤣.
"To get epicectomy done that will cost you Ksh 15000. We will also do a root canal at 15000, amalgam fillings at 4000, gum treatment at 5000, crown for both teeth at ksh 30000 and a bridge at ksh 90000" Wadau, that's a clean ksh 159000😒😒😒 Nikikuambia nimepona utanichukulia vibaya. It is at this point I knew, I am healed in Jesus name😅 si the Bible says by his stripes we are healed😅😂😂. Nothing is impossible with Him. Say Amen. Hiyo ni kashamba nanii, how many acres in Marsabit?😅😂😂.
You remember that meme of a Nigerian actor shouting, "Ewoooooo" 🤣 I did it, literally but this time inside my heart☹️.
"Daktari, is there room for bargaining or the amount is fixed. I have to go and look for the money." I asked.
"Well, at least go and get something close to that and come." He answered.
Machossssss😭😭
"Can I get some description on how to curb the pain in the meantime?" I requested.
He types some dawas there and directs me to the reception where I could pay and get printed the described medication.
Wadau, are you surprised like I was?🤷
159000 ?? My salary right now is looking at me like, "Tukuwe serious nanii, utafanya nini juu nishajitoa?😂😂😂" si poa aki. This is the time we need to stand in solidarity mpenzi msomaji😅 sindio?! I went to the chemist to check the described dawas and they cost 2500🙄 Jesuu, I thought it's just some painkillers and antibiotics, it should be a 10th of that😅 do the math🙄, ksh 250🤣🤣🤣 Na nikuulizee, kama unashindwa kufanya such a simple math, ukitoa tithe yako, nani huibia mwingine, Mungu ama wewe?🤣🤣🤣 Most likely, you! Nakujua na pesa😂😅😅

Aiyaa, wadau, I went back to work. I thank God for the masks, I can consult the board members in my mind and we all laugh😅🤣. Kwanza the Finance guy is so sarcastic. Yaani namaanisha, I am talking to maiselofuu 🙄🙄🙄. Anyone can gerrit, everyone, except you 😂😂.
By God's design, I get a call from my cousin. It's almost a year I hadn't seen her. We meet for lunch and I narrate "masaibu ya Vene😅". "Ooh my God, I wish you told me earlier. I could refer you to some hospital that my dad worked before he left for the current job. It is like a NGO, pretty services at low costs." She calls the dad and we talk for long and he gives me the dentist's number. The dentist happens to be my cousin's classmate in high school 😂. Connections my friend😅😅.
Uuuh, unacheki hiyo design God alicome through!

The hospital is called Amurt Health Care Centre at Mountain View Waiyaki way. They treat all other kinds of diseases. You can use the NHIF and insurance card as well.
I will be going for the last appointment on the root canal next week. God is good Oooh😂💪
From my review, I can recommend them! You won't believe what I paid this time wadau, my pocket didn't sweat like before 😅😂. Lakini msiworry mahustler wenzangu, kuomoka ni lazima with God on our side. I thank God sikuwaita Harambee wakurugenzi wakuu. All of you would be the guest of honours 😂😂😂.
