The long journey to save my tooth is finally over! Yesterday, I had my fifth and final visit to the dentist. The last filling is in, and I can close this chapter—at least for now. What started with unexpected pain in January turned into a whole saga of cleaning, treating, and restoring the tooth. It’s been exhausting—not just the procedures but also the long six-hour trips to Riga and the mental strain of it all.



I’m proud of myself for going through with it, even when it felt overwhelming. This whole experience showed me how important it is to take care of my health before problems pile up.
Now, I have March to enjoy before the next round of appointments in April. It’s not the end of my visits, but at least I can switch my focus to something more exciting—starting the gardening season and getting my hands in the soil. There’s a lot of work ahead, but after these two months of pain and stress, I’m looking forward to it more than ever.
Thank you for following along on this little journey with me!
