Dental Hijinx

Today started with an ever flushing toilet. Thanks to Beth being practical it was fixed by 9:25. Dentist at 10, bugger. Shower, rush, to the dentist for 9:55. Ah, just a cleaning. That'll be an hour or so, right?Well, not really. X-rays showed that a couple of my teeth where at the edge of apocalypse. Immediate crowning or else! Ok. Into the space I'd always wandered about. Puzzle solved. You don't enter that space unless choice is gone. Video goggles. "Pick what you want from Netflix."
 I chose Half Baked, and then tried not to giggle too much as the smell of burning teeth filled the air.  Two hours and a un-locked jaw later, job done. Face still numb on the right. Didn't feel it for another 4 hours. Coma.  Seemed appropriate. Woke up a 9:30, able to eat with minimum dribbling. Glad it was fixed, I saw a picture of the open filing. Yuck! Now, reset for infusion tomorrow, with much better teeth. Ice cream isn't supposed to hurt? I'd forgotten that.
