Back to repair the emergency dental work from last year, when I cheated on my dentist. Will he forgive me? Are my teeth safe in his hands? We shall see! ... |
Hello folks! I hope you've enjoyed all the festivities September had to offer this month. A quarter of a century this site has lived...thrived! This Newsletter marks 17 years that I've been editing the Comedy Newsletter. That's a long time. And, I never missed a one which came every four weeks.
Well, I'm still here, and I have another story. You may remember, the dozen or so of you who read my Newsletters, that I had the unfortunate timing about a year ago of needing emergency dental care. My dentist was away on vacation at that exact same time. The nerve of him! So I found a dentist up the street from his office, willing to take me in quickly for an emergency visit.
Fast forward to today which won't be today when this Newsletter arrives, it will be "last week." Okay, so I'm talking in the past, and present, and future, to those who are interested. Who says comedy can't span the time machine twisting? 
Tomorrow, (last week for you) I am returning to my dentist. I had been having problems with the tooth that had the emergency root canal procedure done by the dentist I was cheating on my dentist with.  Since I went to Florida at my usual time, and my dental insurance ran out at the point of that procedure for the year 2024, I postponed getting the final crown replacement or whatever stuff they did in my mouth and didn't finish. They told me to come back in a couple months when the temporary would be replaced with the permanent, in January, when the insurance would kick-in, again. Being in Florida, and not wanting to go to yet another dentist there, I decided to wait until I returned North, in May.
As it turns out, I did not go to either dentist when I got back up North. I wasn't comfortable leaving my dentist permanently. I hoped he'd forgive me and take me back from my little indiscretion with the new dentist. I had waves of guilt while in Florida as I was getting reminders in my email to come back for the necessary dental work needed as soon as 2025 rolled-in. Now, I told them at the time I got the root canal work done that I'm not there in January. In fact I'm not back until May. Yet, reminders kept flooding in. Phone calls too. I was a witchy woos. I saw the number and ignored answering it. My Voicemail filled up and I had to keep listening to their pleas before deciding to erase messages to make room for more. Then I decided to leave it full to discourage them from trying to leave yet another message.  I, know. It's so juvenile of me, but I had to bail. I wanted MY dentist back!
I had my reasons I hadn't decided to return to that dentist. I was grateful for the emergency work, but, hey, they got paid for it, right? Now that I was convinced I wanted my regular dentist back, I had to think of how to explain to him that I cheated on him. He would see the new work in my mouth and KNOW!
Well, the summer went on and pain started up again. I had to do something. So, one day, months longer than I should have waited, I called MY dentist office. The receptionist is great there. I explained that I needed to see my dentist, not the new partner that was hired while MY dentist semi-retired. I explained that I had cheated on him and through my shame, shame, SHAME! ... have avoided seeing him. I don't know why she was laughing, but I thought it may mean he'll take me back. I got the appointment. I begged my dentist to forgive my transgression saying that I should have suffered a week longer until he came back from vacation, but I couldn't even touch my tooth without great pain. Of course if I quit eating for a week at least I would be thinner at that point. But I kept imagining a sizzling steak in my head and didn't have that much self-control. 
Back to my present, not yours, yet.  Tomorrow, my timeline, I go in for some extensive repair to what I was left with from last year's procedure. I believe I will finally be free of all the discomfort, and, I will feel so welcomed back. I'll invent problems just to see my dentist gets his just rewards from my wallet--to his! (Well not really )
That's all the long in the tooth story I have for this September edition of the Comedy Newsletter.
Until next time--Laugh hard, Laugh often!
For hanging in with me for 17 years ...
