GODDAMMIT!
My dentist screwed up my filling, and then went on vacation for a week.
So, I can’t get the tooth fixed until Monday.
AND I get get up this morning , and the toilet is busted.
And I can’t get anybody to show up until afternoon.
AND I GOT ONE TOILET!!
I would try to cheer you up by saying it can only get better from here, but I don’t like to lie.
Here’s hoping it does get better from here.
It did.
Plumber in 45 minutes.
Good-oh.
$469.
Ouch.
Sometimes the combinations life throws at us can be excruciatingly brutal.
Hope everything works out for you.

Watch for another problem to raise its ugly head and good luck.
You don’t have porcelain veneers, do you? Because that would be extra ironic.
You can get a temporary filling product at the drug store. It’s like a putty that fills the hole for a time.
I had months of dental work done after my facial reconstruction.
My all-time best advice: Never leave the dental office after a big procedure without at least 2 emergency numbers.
Big is relative. Big, to you is not the same as Big to me. I had a dentist out at 1:am once.
I didn’t deal with pain very well, at that time. He had put a crown on one of my surviving teeth. It blew up in the middle of the night. He drilled a small hole. It drained. He packed it with something.
It had to be re-done. Root canal added.
He sent me flowers.
I just (on 6/10) had all my wisdom teeth pulled at age 55. Somehow with no post surgery pain or swelling— the 4 days of broth & pudding were frustrating.
A long story that starts around 1999 with a mis-filled tooth, the subsequent break, a poorly installed crown, a retiring dentist, and a move to Ecuador for several months. Then a 25 year delay in a follow up necessitated by a toothache.
OP I wish you the most successful relief.
Bad teeth are a time bomb with a very unpredictable fuze and often miserable collateral damage after the initial blow-up.
People who are forced by circumstances not to get proper dental maintenance are facing a bad outcome … eventually. People who simply neglect getting proper dental maintenance are causing themselves a bad outcome. Sucks either way, but the latter is self-defeating.
