Mar. 20th, 2009 12:32 pmI got a temporary crown put in two days ago. Just two days ago. The last temporary crown - which, kids, was put in by students and is just my old crown adjusted a wee bit - stayed in all ten days, was fairly solid, and would probably have stuck it for a month or so. The last time I got a temporary crown before this, the thing lasted through a three week jaunt in Italy before I got a full-time one put on.
Imagine my delight, then, when as I cleaned my teeth in preperation to go to work - and by 'clean' I mean clean the rest of them and use mouthwash to keep my top teeth clean - when the bastarding thing went all wobbly. I phoned work to wail about it, and fortunately they're giving me the day off sick with sick pay (thank god) but now I have to go to Kirkcaldy again to get the bloody thing superglued in again. Seriously, if I couldn't get an appointment I was looking at using candle wax to glue it in again.
I wouldn't mind the gap, to be honest, but I have a job in the public eye, several classes, a visit home, and oh yeah, a DJ set tonight, before my appointment to get the full-time crown put in on the 15th April. That, and I've been religiously following the soft foods diet (or: why I'm glad I have a blender) and not touched it at all, so it's really not my fault.
So, yes. In conclusion, Colleen is not amused. I had a neat plan for the day; go to work, vote in the elections, get this book I need, come home, do lots of reading, prepare self to go out, have AltSoc AGM, then enjoy AltSoc vs DocSoc. I know that Katie has a good setlist, and I reasonably like mine, and it was going to be great fun. Instead, I'm going to be sore and paranoid about it falling out again. At least I can get some reading done before I brave the perilous journey to Kirkcaldy.
... oh yeah, if you're in St Andrews come to AltSoc vs DocSoc. I may still have a large gap in my tooth and will therefore probably be blind drunk.
