Timing is everything so I've heard.  I was right in the middle of making one of four appetizers I need to take to my sisters for Sunday afternoon & I was munching on a few jelly beans when I all of a sudden felt something in my mouth that sure didn't feel like a jelly bean.  I spit it out & bingo 1/2 of one of my upper right teeth.  So I thought oh great, perfect timing, just when the weekend is coming up.  I called my dentist office right away & explained the situation.  She said the best she could do was Tuesday but then she checked further to see if there was anything at all as she knows my general conditions & didn't want to have to make me wait.  So I'm scheduled for Monday at 10:30 a.m.Just a bit of a downer for the weekend as I can't eat on that side of my mouth at all.  I'm thankful for so far not having any pain with it.The only thing with me is I totally absolutely completely can't stand the dentist at the best of times.  Having to have 3 cleanings a yr is the most I can try & tolerate & now I'll have to have that tooth extracted.  I can't even stand putting it in print here let alone the actual work.Now on the other hand I'm really worried abt my Lupus, infection, etc. etc.Oh Brother, what more can I say. Other then - thanks for listening everyone.  I really appreciate it.  I really can't stand this.
