Speedbumps In Life's Road

well, i guess things were going too well for me the last couple of weeks, so life had to throw another obstacle in front of me for the fun of it....while checking my web stats friday night, i foolishly decided to chew a piece of gum...a fairly innocuous activity, or so i thought...heard a crack while chewing and felt that odd, unique feeling, which let me know that i had just broken a crown...one of my newer ones...less than two years old...of course it had to break off leaving razor sharp edges, causing my tongue to feel like it had been sandpapered by monday morning...went to see my dentist first thing, and found out that my luck has not changed much, and it is not repairable...in fact it broke in the worst possible way, leaving too little tooth to even extract normally...so, i get to go in for a surgical extraction.

fun fun fun....at least i can be unconscious while they do it, but this means two or three days of being drugged to thge gills on pain killers while it heals....then i get to wait 4 to 6 months for the bone to heal properly, and then the joy of having another bridge put in...so much fun to look forward to here...this of course doesn't even include the real fun part of asking my dad for the financial help in paying for all of this...bridgework is unbelievably expensive, and i do so enjoy asking my parents for money...one of my favorite activities...the only upside to all this was the dentist felt very bad about the crown breaking, and is going to discount the bridgework...she also didn't charge me to grind the sharp edges off the broken shards of my tooth...sigh...live is so fun
