FourTunes Podcast Update

So I thought that I would take the opportunity, to bring you guys, my faithful listeners up to date.

Firstly I want to apologise for the lack of shows. I haven't forgotten about you guys at all, and as you maybe aware the same has happened with SLVPodcast(My Other show).

Right then, lets bring you up to speed.

I have had a temporary Crown on my front tooth for about 16 years now and one morning, a couple of weeks ago, it decided, with the elbow power of my other half, to split.

This meant looking like a reject from a boxing match for a couple of days, in fact over an in tire weekend. Suffice it to day that the Monday rolled around and I went to the dentist, for them to pretty much do nothing on the first attempt, apart from check all my other teeth and tell me that i needed another crown, really, Wow! price for that service £60!

I got told to make another appointment a week later, as they would need more time than my previous appointment allowed, I booked that for a week later, another 7 days looking like Hannibal Lecters European Cousin. My Work colleagues and friends loved taking the mick, i sounded like i was whistling every time i was speaking. It wasn't pretty.

So a week later, two weeks ago. I went to my appointment at the dentist and the dentist trimmed away even more of my tooth, took Xrays, which I have concerns with, whilst I understand the need to take Xrays of the affected tooth, is there any need to scare the living daylights out of me and leave the room every time one is taken. If its unsafe for the Nurse and Dentist to be in the room, whilst an Xray is taken then how comfortable do I feel with that? So he scraped the remnence of the tooth, and fitted a temporary crown. This one was chunky, ill fitting, and plasticy, i don't miss it. Nearly forgot about the Novocaine, I think that's what its called, how awesome is that stuff, I couldn't feel my face for hours after. I had to pay a deposit toward the Porcelain crown, £100

So Today, was the final day of reconstruction, I was in there for all of 20mins, more Novocaine and the plastic temporary crown was gone. Porcelain one fitted, Numb face twice in two weeks and I am pleased with the final results. This crown is far superior than my previous one, it sits a lot nicer and does not protrude as much as the last. My Pockets for today £200 lighter, total cost in a month to Mr Nissan 370Z driving dentist, £360. Well that should be enough for a couple of weeks worth of Petrol.

I'm not bitter about that... honest.

So, as I type, the job is complete, I highly doubt that there will be any shows, FourTunes or SLVPodcast until at least Monday, If this does change, I will let you know.

Thanks for your patience with my predicament
