I have to go to the dentist :(

I really don't like going to dentist. REALLY don't like it. I have to go on Monday. I have a tooth which used to have a really expensive porcelain crown, the crown fell out (while eating a chewy candy, oops) and I put it safely in a little plastic bag in my handbag, thinking it might just be a matter of sticking it back in.

I then went back to my dentist who said yes indeed, it was just a matter of sticking it back in so bring your crown in and we will sort it out. Too easy.

I went to my handbag, no little plastic bag. Uh oh. I remembered that while I was in Perth last year (yes, last year, it takes me a looong time to get around to going to the dentist) I bought myself a nice new handbag, and because I was flying and didn't want any excess baggage I threw my old handbag away. And guess what was still in that handbag? My tiny little $1000 piece of porcelain.

So, now I have to have the tooth rebuilt because the bit that was holding the porcelain in place has since fallen out too. The dentist mentioned posts and roots at which point I stopped listening out of self defence. There are some things you just don't need to know. The appointment is for 90 minutes. Anything that is going to take that long can't be good.

On Monday at 1.45pm South Australian time I would really appreciate your prayers, and then for the next hour and a half! EEEEEEK!!!!!

Dear Lord,
I pray that my trip to the dentist will be successful and as untraumatic as possible. You know what a sook I am so please keep that in mind while I am being injected and drilled! Please help me be calm and not get too stressed out leading up to the appointment.
