Okay so I work for the BEST Dentist(s) anywhere! No, really I do. I have had a problem with one of my teeth and I had a Root Canal and a Crown in '08, a re-treat Root Canal in '09 and now that same tooth has fractured. The problem is not because of anything that was done by Dr. Jackson it just happened. So, today I went to the office and had the pesky thing pulled. Now, I have to wait three months to have an implant placed and then 5 months to have an implant crown put on it. So . . . no big deal. I have never been afraid or had problems at the Dentist (lucky me). I know that the fear and dread is normal for A LOT of people and again I work for the BEST so we take great care of patients. I get my tooth pulled, no big deal. I go by Steak 'n Shake and get a milk-shake since my diet has to be soft today. I go home to "rest" before I have to be back at work at 1:00, but as soon as I get home I realize that there is a problem. My roommate has a dog, a fairly big dog. He stays in the bathroom that it's in her bedroom while we are gone. Now since it is about 10:00 I know that there shouldn't be any water running because Jenny and Grace (her little girl) are gone. I go down the hall and into her bedroom and there is water running out from under the bathroom door. I panic! I open the door and Hank (the dog) is soaking wet and the line that runs from the toilet to the wall is spraying and I mean spraying water EVERYWHERE! Did I mention that I am have started to panic?? Now keep in mind that I am numb and have gauze in my mouth. I put Hank in his crate and call my Stepdad to see what to do. He calmly asks, "Did you turn the water off?" Now why didn't I think of that? So I put my Iphone down far away from the water and reach over behind the toilet (getting soaked the whole time) and turn the valve off. Crisis sort of averted. So, I tell my Stepdad thanks and get off the phone. I clean up water and more water and more water . . . start a load of wet towels and rugs and oh yeah eat part of my milkshake. Now do I get to rest?? Nope, not quite. I have to update my blog! =) Anyway, the numbness is starting to go away and I have taken my Tylenol/Advil cocktail so maybe I can rest just a bit before going in to work. Thank goodness we don't have any patients in the office tomorrow, I need to take it easy. Hope you all are doing well.
Love ya,
This cracks me up because you know it sounds just like something that would happen to me EXCEPT I would have two kids running through the water and then somebody would probably get electrocuted! Love you!
