Ouch
I went for the first part of my crown today. It snowed all the way up but wasn't sticking which was good. They couldn't get my temp at first (you're too cold, nope I'm just a vampire. I've been dead for years). I get taken right in and they get started on the crown process which involved grinding off the broken crappy tooth. Of course first they had to take an impression and laser 3-d scan it and send that off to the lab to make my fake tooth. Naturally this is where all the shots into the gums happen. Whee.
Now my teeth are TIGHT in my mouth, so tight. In fact the tooth he's removing is SO close to the other you can't get floss between them. Naturally after removing the to-be-crowned too, the filling falls out of the other tooth and has to be temporarily capped because the broke tooth was the thing holding that filling in. They can't permanently fix that one because then it would throw off the 3-d scans and impressions. GAH.
I am now going into the holidays with two fake teeth that are only temporarily capped. They should be okay but .... So can we say OUCH and I hate the tooth grinding because you can taste the burnt tissue. You can smell it. You can see the smoke. Blech. And I'm bruised all over that side of my mouth. I can't take the Ibuprofen he wants to give me so tylenol it is. And I think the one tooth is sharp. SIGH
By the time I was done 2 hours later, it was in the 40s and it's raining. I hit Kroger's and then went to see if there was any holiday stuff in the tea caddy only to find they've pared that down to nothing. However, there is a beautiful old building, former Knights of Pythias lodge that I've ALWAYS wanted in but it's been a weird food/clothing bank that you could never get into b ecause it was never open. Now it's a local artist/maker space. I couldn't believe it. I got into the building, which sadly was boring and just stripped of anything but the upstairs is blocked off. I knew the young girl working there would have no idea what might be up there. I might want to go back and see if the upstairs is ever open.
SInce it was raining and snowing all day off and on (nothing sticking) but I forgot something at the school. I ran down got that, and somehow the whole day got away from me again. I need more days. I just need more time.
