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!
