A Lesson

Well, you talk about not having pictures, and bam, you get an opportunity to take pictures.
This is me at the dentist today.  For several weeks, I've had a painful back tooth, which I initially attributed to Life causing me to grind my teeth more than usual.  Over the weekend, though, it began to give me trouble when I ate or drank anything cold (my dear Dr Pepper!).  It got to the point yesterday that I figured I'd better call and have someone look at it.

Long exam short, that back tooth has four cracks in it.  I'll be going back in two weeks to have a temporary crown put on.  Twinnie, we match one more time!

When I left the office, I saw this license plate on a car in the parking lot:
Daddy had a plate exactly like this one on his car.  It gave me the same feeling I get when I see a feather: that he's here, whispering in my ear, "Baby Doll, everything's gonna work out."

Awe. lSo happy you got that message from your dad. Kim, all of us have heard different things. But, I"ve been told that crowns are a waste of money. If it is the last tooth on the bottom you can have it removed and not be concerned about replacing it with a implant. I recently had just those symptoms. My very last bottom tooth on the left was pulled and I am able to eat and drink anything now! I don't know your details though , but with 4 cracks, I can't see how you would be able to save the tooth. ANYHOW, i love those boots!
