Hope you're resting well, congratulations on getting a big scary thing done.
And that is a big bill, but there's no price we can put on health and wellbeing- and what an achievement that you can manage that bill what with all your work to become debt free and mortgage free
Also well done on booking major dental treatment at just the right time of year to start actually wanting lots of soup 😁6 -
Several years ago I had a lot of expensive dental work done, 3 veneers and a crown plus teeth whitening. The teeth whitening part was blooming awful had to wear a plastic brace type thing overnight with liquid in that literally hurt my teeth. My dentist at the time was obsessed with cosmetic dental work, bless him 😬 Had a couple of root canals done in the past too.I hope you’re not in pain and that it’s all been worth it 🤞Also hope you’re having a nice relaxing evening with your feet up.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
