Yes! I finally got my crown! I can't even remember when I started this process, but it's been long and drawn-out. My dentist is pleased that this crown fits perfectly, and I feel so much better to be able to chew normally and know that I won't bite down on chunks of ... whatever temporary crowns are made of!
My appointment was at 4:30 and the roads were already getting bad. When I got out at 5:30, the snow was really coming down and traffic was crawling. It took me more than two hours to get home, and it was nerve-racking because the roads were slick and the visibility was poor. But I had no problems, and didn't even see anyone off on the side of the road. I didn't take the highway, though. I know better!
I took the ibuprofen PM last night, and even though I woke up in the middle of the night again, I was able to get back to sleep. I really have to work on not letting my brain get going, though. I have to learn how to dismiss my thoughts at night. Someone recommended that I let them float off like a cloud, and that seemed to work last night.
In addition to the dentist appointment I had two big meetings at work yesterday. Both of them went well, which is a big relief. With all of our office dynamics, meetings can can really go off the rails and lead to even bigger problems. That's why I'm so relieved they went well.
I bought breakfast at the station this morning (yes -- I rode the train for the first time this month!) I figure anything that helps to keep me going at this time of year is all right. I'm really looking forward to some down time this weekend and catching up on the laundry!
