visited the ever-so friendly dentist this morning.  A 1995 crown couldn’t stand the strain anymore and so it left me about 6 months ago.  Now I was in Florida at the time and since it didn’t hurt, I didn’t care.   Lady Luck smiled upon me and so I spent the past months not even thinking about a dent in my mouth.  Well, knowing that she (Lady Luck) was probably being spread thin with the Libya, and 5.9 earthquake this morning, I decided it was a good time to ‘get er done’. 

Okay, now I knew it wasn’t going to be a party, however, with todays stuff, it wasn’t going to be too painful either, just bothersome in my so-so busy life of retirement.  Surprise!  Surprise!,   not only did they fix me up in 2 hours, they really fixed me up……I walked out with a new crown…..done, finished, no come back, complete!!!   I was and am still impressed!

The joke is usually on me and it was today too, cause the office told me they had been doing this for about 5 years!   However, I didn’t feel too dumb because I had not ‘needed’ this  for the past five years and do not regularly read dental magazines. 

So here I am….numb but not dumb….waiting for itching and tingly to start so I can get back to normal without biting myself. (My pocket book is a little lighter too, however, I am a happy girl)
