Plague 2021 #12 Broken Tooth + Sinus Infection

[geowench]

Teeth seem to be the theme just now ... the last two posts in my reading feed are from two different friends posting about dental woes.  And I broke a tooth last night.  Got in to see my dentist for a quick look today and she says it's broken beneath the gum, but she *thinks* she can save it with a crown, though I will likely need a root canal sometime down the line ... unless I want to just do the root canal now?  No thank you, I'll take my chances with the crown for now.  But she can't get me in until the 25th.  So three weeks of being super careful and only chewing on my R side, I guess.  

I've been rather sick the last week or so, even missed two days of work.  I basically had a sinus infection.  I didn't go the the dr. and I didn't get tested for COVID, though perhaps I should have, since I'm now reading that delta infections are common in the fully vaccinated and present more like cold symptoms.  But I'm basically over it now, so I'm going with "summer cold/sinus infection."  

Holy moly, I used to be much more interesting person.  At least I think/hope that I was.

Oh I always have something going on with my teeth. I think they messed up a crown last time and it changed my bite, but maybe I'm just being paranoid because I had to see a different dentist and he gave me this scary spiel about why I should have braces. :P
