Yup, this story is almost as good as Chou's squattie stories.....
hahahaha! I was disappointed to read that you gave up on the recovery, man.. but you've redeemed yourself with the prank.

Glad you decided to spend the money. There is no way if I found a crown in sh*t, I could put it in my mouth! I LMAO at your entire story. How funny

Scott, you're awful! I probably would have hit you with something worse than a bran muffin. It was funny though. I can see it now! ! I needed a good laugh for the day. The only problem, when my husband pulls pranks on me, I don't get made, I get even. I always, always get him back!
Now THAT is awesome. We could give each other ideas... when I worked in the lab (this was years ago) we had a tech who had a major issue with stool samples... so I put a snickers bar in a sterile cup... heated it a little, added some water, put the lid on, stuck a generic label on it and walked into the back of the lab with it. When he groaned and complained I told him I would test it for him- the old fashioned way (gross, but yes, they really did test it like this in the past) I opened the lid, stuck my finger in, took a huge glop and stuck it in my mouth. He almost passed out. I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna wet myself... and everyone else in the room was horrified too- until I caught enough breath to tell them the truth---
Point being... I laughed so hard when I read your story-- I can totally picture it! Awesome! Sometime I should tell you how you can get people with liquid orajel....I think you would truly appreciate it!

Karma has evidently come back to bite me ! (no pun intended). I saw the dentist yesterday finally. The crown I "lost" was on top of a root canal. Well he took an xray and it appears that the underlying tooth is cracked and putting a crown back on top of it isn't a viable option. Also it appears that there is a bit of infection at the base of the root. I'm on anti-biotics now for the infection. So he wants to have the tooth extracted and the hole then filled with a bone composite. Once that hardens and integrates with the jaw bone structure (3 months approx) they will come back and drill a hole for a post. Once THAT heals (2 more months) they will put the crown in.
I've had a few minor dental procedures done since surgery but the extraction will be my first significant work where there will be bleeding. Of course I will be pre-medicated for it. Fortunately I have an appointment earlier that day with the local Vampire to have my INR checked. So as long as Im in range (hopefully on the low side) I will be good to go. If Im too high "above 3.0" Im going to get the extraction re-scheduled. Im not in any pain so there really isn't a huge rush.
I will post again this weekend with the extraction results.

CLEAN as a whistle? well, there ya go.
Scott:
OUCH!
Sounds like you're in for some fun of sorts. Hope the discomfort is kept to a minimum.

Well, at least you don't have to cry about the lost crown. Good Luck with this.
What a mess. I presume you've sworn off Mike & Ike's?
Scott,
I can relate to some of your dilemma.. all but the part of losing the crown.
For the last 5 months my Endodontics has been trying to save a tooth that had an old root canal. Besides pre-medicated before each visit I've taken several 10 day doses of antibiotics after each procedure and getting ready to start another tomorrow.
I didn't know I had a problem until my teeth cleaning back in July. The girl said I had a red bump on the gum by that tooth. My dentist suspected the tooth had infection. He sent me to the Endodontics. The Endodontics drilled through the crown, I could smell the stink from the infection. He cleaned it all out several different times and each time let it soak full antibiotics. He and I thought it was doing good until a few days I began to feel something wrong with that tooth. X-ray today shows nothing but he suspects the tooth is cracked, I do also. For many years ago I had another tooth crack that took forever before anyone could detect it. The crack was found when they tried to do a root canal.
He plans to extract the tooth 2nd of February. At first he said I'd have to stop warfarin the week before but I said no. He then agree to do it my way. He said he could take care of any bleeding. I told him I'd have my INR down on the low end of control for I took care of that. He was happy about that.
Good luck with your extraction and remaining procedures.

Ooo. Ewww. This has become an even nastier thread... Dental work gives me the heebiejeebies. I do just about anything to avoid it- and even go in medicated for my cleanings (not antibiotics- just a good dose of ativan). Augh.... I would prefer to hunt for the crown than go through your new venture... So So Sorry for you... **good luck to you**

Unfortunately the extraction was pushed by a week. My dentist referred me to a guy who does "basement" work, he is going to pull the tooth and fill the space with a bone composite for a single tooth implant. The tooth fractured so there is no saving it. I would like to just have this pulled but its molar and the one behind it is already gone. I gotta have something to chew with. The "basement" guy wants to talk to my cardio first, really just a formality.
My wife says its karma for kitchen bucket stunt Im waiting to see what the insurance will cover, I might need that bucket when I find out what this is gonna cost.
