Had dental surgery today...still alive

[judy]

I spent 5 hours on the dentist's chair today! He got a lot of work done, but I'm wiped out.

My dental work is a long, boring saga. I've always had lots of cavities, etc. - bad teeth, hated my smile, root canals never lasted, neither did caps. My father passed away 11 years ago, and I decided to finally have my teeth done with the money he left me. I went to NYU College of Dentistry, where dentists become students to learn new procedures It was 1/2 the price of a regular implant specialist, but takes so long before you're finished!

I finished about 3 years ago and loved my teeth and my smile. About 4 months later, I was biting into a Granola bar when the front 2 teeth (capped) broke. They're still redoing the entire top at an amazingly good price, because it was their fault, but I really wish they'd finish already!

About 2 months ago, the bottom two capped teeth broke! They wanted a lot more money this time, but I spoke with the Director today and he said he'll lower it for me. That's what today's surgery was all about.

I swear, I'll be dead and buried and they'll be digging me up, saying "Just one more procedure Judy, and we'll be finished."

I have the nicest dentist in the world though, and the Director is also a sweetheart.

Anyway, I took a tranquilizer before they started this morning and 1/2 a vicodin when I got home. Feeling very mellow girls! Every cloud does have a silver lining!

Max got to go to Doggie Day Care so he's laid out sleeping. He had a ball!
