Ouch! A six hundred dollar plus bill from the dentist....and my mouth still looks a mess. I'm not sure if I told you guys about my stupid accident: A few weeks ago I tripped over some books stacked by my desk when getting up to answer the door bell..bit like a Tom and Jerry cartoon..me cartwheeling acroos my study and banging into the book case. The result was some broken teeth and a very sore mouth. Anyway I've only just got round to asking the dentist to put things right--so much work since the accident.
One look inside my mouth and he took delight in assessing the damge as serious....I mean about six teeth damaged beyond repair. On Monday he's going to make the extractions, then take a cast for a plate...Ughh. But with the dental technicians closing early for Christmas he says I'll have to wait until the new year.
So if anyone spots me in NY and laughs at my gaps watch out..I can be very sensative. And then there'll be my girlfriends reaction when she gets here next week. Made me think of that stupid song which came out some years ago "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth..." Six teeth doesn't sound half so cute. By the way, just to increase your sympathy, you should know I lost several teeth in my youth while playing rugby. So losing more is not very nice. Anyone fancy chopping up my food for me?

That's rough...I imagine that all this dental work must be costing a pretty penny (or pound rather)--they could have at least obliged you with an emergency "let's-get-this-guy-his-teeth" rush service or something.
