oops

So Thursday last week I spent many, many hours in the dentist's chair. This exciting activity culminated in me getting a wee temporary onlay for the part of my tooth that broke off.

I was given two simple instructions. 1) Don't pull UP while flossing that spot and 2) Don't eat anything sticky or chewy.

Like the 4th Blow Pop that I just had. Serially. You guessed it! The 4th gummy wad lifted the onlay right off the tooth. Which is kinda sensitive now. Imagine.

So I called the office just now, not expecting to speak to an actual person. Surprise! And while negotiating a quicky re-gluing appointment with the receptionist, I asked her if I was going to get spanked. Dr. Clark heard the comment and laughed out loud.

The onlay is in an empty medicine bottle. There is still quite a bit of gum on it. But maybe Dr. Clark won't yell at me too much. Tomorrow at 2:40.

Shame on you! I hope he gives you a stern talking to. And that you get the giggles in the middle of it. Which you try to hold in until you burst. And that you end up snorting all over the good dentist. Did you ever see that episode of Coupling? The one with the giggling? If not, you really need to rent it.
