Lost My Job and Doubting Myself

[Bones]

Bones -
Sounds like your Higher Power is working miracles.  I am glad for you.  hang in there - So glad to have seen you make some good progress.

your friend - gaining Strength

Thanks, GS.

BTW, I had to make two emergency trips to the dentist today.  On Sunday evening, my friend took me out to dinner with her and her mother.  During the meal, my temporary crown shattered.  I went to see the dentist Monday morning and had the temporary crown replaced with another temporary crown.  I got back home in the early afternoon, waited 45 minutes for the glue to set and then attempted to eat lunch.  The temporary crown shattered again so I had to haul back to the dentist for a THIRD temporary crown.  They examined my bite and realized that the upper metallic filling was hitting the temporary crown in such a way that it was breaking it.  They adjusted the upper filling and put on the third temporary crown.  I'm hoping that this one will tide me over until I finish the root canal on Thursday.  I ended up at the dentist all day because they had to find a way to squeeze me in between appointments and other emergencies that came in before me.

Bones, this is like a test of endurance!  You are holding up well.
At least your teeth are getting fixed, even though the process is much longer and more complex than anyone would want.  Your pain has an end in sight.  It must feel nice to know your infection and your tooth problems will not have any lasting effect on your health.  Maybe this setback at work will not have any lasting effect on your career.

After the root canal, then I have to have my gums scaled next.

Hi Bones

One precaution - I sort of thought this went without saying but it may not. Don't swallow the meat tenderizer when you are brushing [the natural impulse is to spit, which is why I didn't say anything] and make sure you rinse after you use it the final time. Bromelain is a protease, and you don't want it working any longer than it takes to brush.

You can buy bromelain in capsules, but I don't recommend it - it's a very strong enzyme. The meat tenderizer approach should work.

I'll keep that in mind.

I finally got the root canal completed!  Now I have to wait for the permanent crown to be made.

OH you must be relieved. Hang in there. Did they give you pain meds? Do consider taking them... you will be amazed how long it can take for these things to heal completely.
