Last night, I arranged for someone to take my shift today so I could get in for emergency dental work.

When I got there this morning, the dentist said, "I'll have to take an x-ray of that."

When the x-ray came back she said, "That doesn't look too bad. Just the filling is coming out. There's no cavity or anything like that, so I'll just smooth it down until we can fit you in for a proper filling."

But then, as she was scooping it out with the little hooks she said, "Ok. I'd like to know why THAT didn't show up on the x-ray."

Comforting thing to hear, hmm?

So a temporary filling was put in the cavernous hole. I go in for the real thing at the end of the month.

In the meantime, I'm still waiting to hear whether or not I go in to work today. If the guy wants to keep my shift, he's welcome to it. I could use the time off to do some sewing. But if he'd rather not do the shift, I have to be ready to go. So I'm just waiting for the phone call, now.

What, your teeth are made of lead?

Yay temporary filling!

No popcorn, caramels, or toffee for you, though, untill it's properly and permanently plugged up.

I forgot and ate popcorn. It was ok, though...
