Another toothy update

[linaewen]

Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers and well-wishes for my toothy ordeal. I have a nice shiny aluminum piece temporarily "super glued" in place, and the promise of a rather pricey crown coming in 3 weeks. In the meantime I am feeling quite numb, but otherwise chipper.

The good news is that it was a clean break, and there is no infection, and the pain I was experiencing with that tooth before was because I had cracked it. The rest of the good news is that, though it was a pricey break, I can get reimbursed for the expense, as our mission has an arrangement that covers such expenses -- not exactly insurance, but the equivalent.

I'm still not able to chew on that side, so no stale lembas bread for me for awhile, but I should be ready to go in time for Christmas cookies. ;-)

Suggestions that this incident might be good material for a Boromir conversation have been duly noted. :-) Boromir is thinking about whether he has anything to contribute on that topic.

I am sure he does!

aww. you poor thing. Dental problems always give me a headache (in more ways than one) I'm glad your mission is helping you with the money part, that makes it easier to deal with.

That'st he one nice thing about internet communication, you can still do it with a "dumd mouff"

hehe

That is good about getting help paying for the tooth, (((Lin))). I hope it doesn't hurt too much.

glad everything turned out okay, and that God will provide the needed funds for the new crown. (see, you don't have to wait until you get to heaven for a crown!)
