ceebeegee: (Celebration)
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.

I was able to sneak a call to the emergency dentist, hissing through my teeth, and they told me to come in at 11, though I still had to wait a WHILE, over an hour. But they were very nice about it and apologized. She reglued it, saying she was stunned it had even lasted that long. I asked if I could take with me or buy some of the cement she used--she said no but suggested Fix-o-Dent. I reserve judgment (since the other two over-the-counter adhesives didn't work at ALL) but we'll see. She said there might be pink stuff coming out the sides--I don't care about that as long as I don't look like a meth addict.

Just have to get through the rest of the day. Sunday will be a trial, if the tooth falls out again, because we have a runthrough *and* a production meeting afterward. We'll see.

I've been having thse mini-panic attacks this week, I'll just be seized with dread. It goes away after awhile but still. This. Sucks.

On the bright side--Tesse came by last night and made soup for me and it is SO GOOD. Thank you, Tesse! I'm losing weight because I haven't been able to eat anything much! And my paper is going well.

I woke up this morning and as I was washing my face--the tooth was suddenly loose again.

So now I'm...stressing. Trying to figure out exactly what to do--I'm at work but can barely talk. The evening will be difficult. I'm going to try to get another emergency appointment at the same dentist (and if they're not available, another one in the plan), but would rather not have to make those phone calls while people can hear me. "Oooh, what's the MATTER? Oh, a CROWN fell out? How TERRIBLE." Nope, don't want to go there.

Needless to say, this complicates the weekend as well.

Naturally my appointment Monday with my regular dentist isn't until the afternoon--AFTER my class.

Geez, this is so stressful. I'm really hating my life right now.

This weekend was very INTERESTING. As in the Chinese curse. Saturday dawned hot and humid--Ben showed up at my place and we lugged the screen and all the other stuff down to the Park. (One fantastic thing about this experience is that we can store stuff between show days at the Downtown Boathouse. Yay, no lugging stuff back and forth on the subway!) I was occupied with many producer-ial tasks, such as delegating tasks to the two volunteers, sending out for ice and water, setting up the backstage, setting up the stage right quick change section, et cetera. Laura, my FOHRP liaison, stopped by and we talked about the volunteers, and other stuff. She couldn't stay long, unfortunately. The show went up--we didn't have a huge audience, no doubt because of the heat. One volunteer, Selvena, was terrific in redirecting the foot traffic; she was very hands on and even kicked out three obnoxious little boys who were arguing with Duncan. (She threatened to call the cops on them--love it!)
