First off--I made it through the WHOLE WEEKEND without the glue dissolving. No embarrassing meth mouth at rehearsal yesterday! Yay! Three and a half whole days, unbelievable!
I went to my regular dentist this afternoon--her first day back from vacation. She very kindly took me right away which was great as the assistant had told me last week "be prepared to wait awhile, we have a lot of patients Monday." She took a gajillion X-rays--at least 7-8--because she was trying to retrieve the old post that was within the tooth. She had to drill again which absolutely terrified me but the GREAT news is that the tooth didn't break! I have been literally sick this week (in fact, I couldn't let myself get sick--I literally need to vomit a couple of times, I've been so stressed out, but I couldn't because of that barely-glued on crown) worrying about how much this would cost--implants and temporary prosthetic teeth are NOT cheap. I was also super-stressed at this dragging on for several weeks--have to see an endodontist, have to come BACK to the dentist, on and on, through midterms, etc. Nope, she did it all today *and* it didn't cost NEARLY what I was worried it would. Wasn't free, and it's money I'd rather use for something else, but this really is the best of all possible scenarios.
YAYAYAYAY! So, so happy!
*Whew* Okay, now on to finishing my paper and studying for Midterms.
