day 50: "i am thankful for......MY CROWN!"

....because it's been a looooonnnnngggg time comin.  last winter, my tooth chipped.  i mean, it was down to just a tiny bit of tooth left (too many m&m's).  so, i guess it was time to hunt down a good dentist in the area.  i asked my neighbor for any ideas, and she told me about her "handsome greek God" of a dentist...ok, dokie!  that's all well, and good...but, i need a GOOD dentist! so, i made an appointment with her 'greek God'....and what do ya know?  he's not only handsome, but he's a damn good dentist to boot...not many of those around....  so, long story short...last february, i had my tooth pulled and filled with some kind of bone stuff.  he said it had to sit and heal and harden for at least 3-6 months.  geeezzz.....so, needless to say, i had a toothless grin for over 6 months!  finally, in Sept, he said it healed/hardened enough to drill the implant.  thank you God.
i asked him to send me a picture via email of my implant.  i think it is the most daunting thing.....and it felt as strange going in....i'm thinking it's what a piece of sheet rock must feel like being screwed to a stud!
here is the 'screw' in my mouth!
they put a temp crown on top of it....and today, my friends, i get my permanent crown.  i get a tooth back... !!!! (only $1,00000000's of dollars later) 

i also go vote today......i pray for my fellow ohioans....that they make the RIGHT choice....



.........so, what are you especially thankful for today?!
