Ith Not Funny!

My broken crown can’t be fixed! It seems that part of the root broke away with the metal post and there’s not enough left to attach anything. 🙁

I have to get the root removed (ouch!), wear a denture for 6 months and then get a bridge fitted. So I’m stuck with this lithp and a distinct disinclination to smile at anyone for the next few weeks at least. I am not a happy bunny.

I Have A Brain!

Yes. It’s official. I do have a brain. I must have because it was scanned earlier today and I imagine that a large empty space would have attracted some immediate comment.

It all started when I had my normal rheumo appointment. R suggested that I mention the weird memory lapses I have occasionally. At least he thinks they’re weird. As far as I’m concerned, the things he claims I’ve forgotten simply never happened. Normally, when you forget something like a film you’ve seen or a place you’ve visited, there’s a little tickle at the back opf your mind that says “Oh yes – you do have a memory of this somewhere in here. You just can’t locate it right at this moment”. That tickle is actually tremendously reassuring – even if you’re not fully aware of it.

Just My Luck…

My dentist is on holiday, so I have to call again on Monday in the hopes that I can get an appointment with the dentist that is covering his practice over the next 10 days or so. A whole weekend without one of my top front teeth!

Argh!

My front tooth fell out! Well, not the tooth itself but the crown. Late last night.

It was quite undramatic. It just literally fell out without a murmur. And I only saw the dentist about 4 weeks ago too. Guess I’ll be seeing him again very shortly.
