More tooth shenanigans today. I went in expecting to get fitted for another crown. Instead the dentist old me that there wasn't enough left of the tooth to mount to. Because I need crowns on the two neighbor teeth anyway, she reccomended to pull the tooth and install a bridge.

I am at home now, waiting for the vicodin to kick in. Watching the X-files. Now I know where the band Eve 6 got their name from.

It's kind of fun sitting in front of the TV with wikipedia and IMDB open. For example how many people know that actor Todd Duffy , who played Brian, Jennifer Aniston's annoying co-worker in Office Space Also did the voice for Scooter Mcnutty on Barney & friends.

The bleeding has mostly stopped but the pain and discomfort are increasing. I'm a little pissed at myself because I wanted to at least make it to 40 with all of my teeth. I'll be 38 ath the end of next month. I didn't expect to celebrate my birthday by incurring large dental bills.

I know, I know, it sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.

I guess I am a king now. I had a crown put in this morning, after limping around on a temporary molar for the past month. I'm still not ready to resume eating taffy or anything; something feels a little weird about the crown. It's as if it's a little too high in one spot. It seems to clear OK if my jaw is lined up straight but if I close my mouth with my jaw skruntched over to the left it bottoms out before the rest of my teeth come together.

That's hardly the end of my teeth problems. I'll have so many crowns by the time the dentist is done with me that they will have to name me emperor.
