what a day!!!!

I spent 4 hours under the grind of replacing 8 crowns....ALL together!!!!  My 2 bridges (combining 4 teeth each)  must have been 20 or 30 years old.

What an experience..I wouldn't wish this on anybody!!!!      4 HOURS.....
 
On the lighter side...the gal that was helping the dentist had to go out for lunch (after 3 hours of grinding and poking) and was replaced by Carrie,  the doctor's wife.  We started talking and she mentioned that she was a patient of Dr. John Fortune and proceeded to tell me this interesting story:

They were on vacation at some lake and she broke her upper arm and had it temporarily splinted and put in a sling.  When they came home she went to Kaiser and saw John....where he treated her and gave her various treatments to stimulate healing....it took her 1 year to heal.

During one of her visits to the office she lost the diamond out of her ring and the whole office was in an uproar trying to find it....they searched everywhere.  I don't know how much time elapsed but one day,  on their wedding anniversary,  her husband gave her a dozen beautiful red roses.  Later that day she got a phone call from Kaiser hospital telling her that they had found her stone!!!!!  It was a miracle...it somehow had gotten kicked under the copy machine which was in a side office off the main hall leading to the doctors offices.  How it got there no one knows.

Carrie said she rushed right over to Kaiser and gave her red roses to the person who found the diamond.
What an amazing story!!!!
