Hooky...Repeat

I am playing hooky again only this time I am planning to storm my dentist's office.  Several months ago my partial crown fell off.  I went to this "new" dentist and he glued it back on.  As expected it fell off again.  I had told the office to get the paperwork going for a full fledged crown.  Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago.  At work I was eating a piece of cheese on the other side of my mouth and I immediately knew something was wrong...like a piece of me had popped out.  Sure enough part of my tooth came off.  I texted Hubby and said make an appointment "preferably in the evening or on the weekend."  My appointment was over a month later!  That day another sliver of tooth came off.  I have been calling the office ever since.  Last weekend I got a call from the office saying he could see me on Thursday.  Hubby overhears the conversation and says "That is Maundy Thursday!"  (Sidebar: we have a very meaningful Maundy Thursday/ Good Friday evening meal and service.)

I reply "Yeah, and this is my tooth!!"  (This is my second post saying "I think God will understand."  I sure hope so!!!)

Yesterday was Monday....my appointment on Thursday....at school state testing is going on....last night while I was gingerly brushing my teeth a h.u.g.e. chunk of tooth came out!!!!  If you know me, you know that is cause for gagging and panicking and getting extremely mad!

This morning I whipped out an apology email to the Principal and Asst. Principal saying I was parking my butt (okay, I didn't use THAT exact word) at the dentist's office and I'm not leaving till I have something done to this tooth or at least a guard or something.  Can we say "oh I'm so sorry, Strawberry, we will have to extract the tooth and you'll need to get a nice implant...for a reasonable price, of course!" ugh

So that's my day.  I sure hope they received my email this morning.  I marked it "high priority."  I'm getting pretty good at this hooky thing, wouldn't you say?

  P.S.  If you haven't done it already, make an appointment with your dentist.  Don't be a strawberry!
