Fun Monday # 82 and a Missing tooth

I am not joining in Fun Monday this week but I'm sure there will be some great opening paragraphs to read. It does seem kind of funny not to be participating as I have missed very few in all the time it had been running. Woodlandmamma is hosting this week and this is the challenge she has set:

Write the beginning of an unusual love story (not a real one). I only want the first paragraph. You can add an illustration or a picture to spice it up if you are really daring.

I'm sure there is still time to sign up!

Who lost a tooth last week??

Now I bet you are wondering why I'm posting a picture of a tooth. Those who plurk will know that last week while I was talking to the Bank Manager this front crown fell out leaving an ugly gaping hole. I was so embarrassed I couldn't get out of the bank quick enough. I rushed home and phoned the dentist to see how quickly he could see me...and his wife/receptionist said he didn't have an appointment for several weeks but she would speak to him and ring back.
A couple of hours later she said he would see me at the surgery the following day which was not a day he normally worked but he had to be there to do some work. I can tell you I breathed a sigh of relief. When EmBee came in from work I refused to smile at him (nothing unususual there hehe), he wanted to see the gap but absolutely no way was I going to expose my hag like gap to anyone!

The following day normality was restored and the tooth was firmly back in its rightful place. I now have to hope that it remains there because it could be major work if it doesn't. I have a follow up appointment next month so fingers crossed. This little episode set me back £70 but it was worth every penny to feel normal again and be able to smile.
Did you think you were going to see a picture of the gap sorry no can do....well it might have looked something like this...........
