(Finally)
I went to the dentist this morning, early, because I thought I was getting a cavity.
The dentist informed me that not only did I not have a cavity where I thought, my tooth (where the cap fell out last week), probably doesn't need to be pulled yet.
In fact, he canceled my appointment with the oral surgeon and re-cemented my cap back on my tooth right then and there. He said that it will probably hold a while (read: until I get dental insurance), there was still some good tooth left, so there was no need to yank it.
Hooray!
However, I have a weird belief in karma in that I believe in statistics and that everything pretty much averages out in the end. Or, we have roughly the same amount of really good experiences and really bad experiences over the course of a lifetime. I was hoping all of this tooth drama might score me a successful job interview. Now that it's fixed, I can't theoretically bargain with the universe that I'm owed something good.
Ah, well. On a completely different subject, just let's say that anyone who wants to should think good thoughts for
scribefigaro tomorrow morning. We're about to be a two-doctor household. :D
