WTH 2018?

Well, to cap off the year (no pun intended), I've lost a crown. It just popped off with no warning today while I was unloading the dishwasher. On a Saturday. Before Christmas. When the dentist won't be back in until after New year's.

Thankfully, it has had a root canal (two actually), so there's less chance of infection, and I didn't swallow the crown, so it can be put back on without having to get a new one. Hopefully. But I am very paranoid about my teeth, which have caused me grief since childhood and continue to suck despite my rigorous attention to oral hygiene. Stupid genetics.

Once again, this is not a catastrophe by any means, but, as a culmination to the end of the year, it feels more aggravating than it might otherwise have been. 

In brighter news, aside from cleaning up the kitchen and doing some wrapping, we are ready for Christmas! With, like, two days to spare. Usually we're in hyper-stressed mode that results in total crash-and-burn by Boxing Day, so this is an improvement and a sign of being in better health overall. 

In the new year, I hope to make this less of a 'woe is me' blog, but I appreciate everyone who has been supporting and reading my tales of woe this year. It's nice to have you guys around. :-D

That's awful! I'm very sorry. I hope it doesn't hurt because the area had a root canal?

Merry Christmas, and may you and your family have a safe and happy one!

My gum is irritated, but the tooth itself doesn't hurt. It's mostly just weird. I'd just like to get to the dentist to see what needs to be done about it, and it seems like a long wait. :-)

Thank you! We celebrated last night and had a lovely evening. Today is just a chill day. I hope your celebrations are enjoyable, too.

Oh man! All the hugs for your dental woes from someone who also suffers from dental issues (thanks, genetics!). Here's hoping 2019 is a year of good health for all parts of the body!

Thank you! Hugs are appreciated! We're all hoping for a healthier 2019. I think, even if we get it, there's still a lot of resting and recovering to do from all the years of Bad Things, but thankfully, we're able to take the time to do it. Hope 2019 brings you happy things as well! All the hugs back!
