I got lucky, the dentist, actually an Oral Surgeon, who normally in on an "on call" basis, was in treating another patient that had an accident with his tooth. I didn't have to wait. She was quite good. She did her exam, checking to see how extensive the damage, then she pushed my front tooth back into its original position. Had I known what she was going to do I would have bristled, instead it came as a suprise, which was best, believe me. She then splinted my teeth, which amounts to a piece of wire glued across the teeth to hold them in place. She said no solid food which makes Thanksgiving difficult.

I admit to taking "liberties" with the longer pieces I've written. I post them and let them stand or fall as they will. You'll notice I never comment further on those threads. People's prejudices are fair game, however since joining the DDC (Dead Dad Club) I don't play games about being in the hospital.

I do have a photograph of my face that I may post once it is developed (haven't gone digital yet). The same roll has shots of my Masi that I will post
