Texas 2012 Blog: Wednesday - a bad day at the dentist

windy, warm morning with light mist; temp 66; high to be 85.
late morning we're taking Jim to Progreso to get a filling refilled.
with temp & wind due to rise, took my bike ride right after breakfast.
picked up Saase's at 10:30 & headed for Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.
little did we realize that it was going to be a day of major dental problems; so let me start at the beginning.
Jim had an 11:30 AM appointment to refill a filling that had fallen out; he completed that and was out in less than a half hour at a cost of $35.
Sandy had been having some pain with a permanent bridge; so she told the dental people about it and they scheduled her in to see the dentist; they found a major problem with a piece of jaw bone poking through the gum making the bridge loose; about an hour later that was fixed.
then we decided to go to Arturo's for lunch; while Diane was eating a chip, a tooth (which we speculated as a crown - but later learned that we were wrong) came out; so she immediately went back to the dental office and was scheduled in; well, it turns out, the tooth was abscessed and the top of the tooth just broke off; so the dentist gave her lots of Novocaine & cut her gum & pulled the remnants of the tooth; 3 hours later she emerged a bit groggy, but glad it was all over (but only $65 poorer).
I then continued my chauffeur role and brought everyone home; got home just before 5.
and there is no entertainment at the Hall this evening, so we may just all stay home & take care of Grandma.
throughout all of that I did get some pictures as I had brought along my camera since we can't turn our phones (mine is also my camera) on in Mexico; enjoy!
