Phoenix, AZ: Dental Woes & Camping World Wonders

Mary Lynn needed some dental work, specifically a cap, and found a dentist in Phoenix who specializes in caps. That's all he does. In fact , you'll never believe the creative name he came up with for the business: "Caps Only". Is that creative or what. 

So last week I took her to "Caps Only" where she had the pre-work performed and temporary caps installed while she waited for the permanent caps to be manufactured.

Yesterday, while eating a hamburger, MLA's temporary cap came off. The dentist told us to come in this afternoon and he would install another temporary cap. We did so and then he did so.

So far so good we thought. It just over a hour away and his appointment are always in the afternoon so we get to experience that wonderful Phoenix rush hour. As you can imagine, reinstalling a temporary cap had MLA feeling lousy however she still wanted to complete the items on our "Phoenix to do list". I stopped to get her some Advil and she started feeling a little better.

After the dentist we went to Camping World in Mesa. There are a couple of key items we need before our trip to Alaska, especially a rear mud flap to keep stones from flying back on to the toad and a CB radio. Plus, as always a few other items. Camping World is like the old Sears Christmas catalog was when you where a kid; they have everything you can imagine for RV's and then some.

While we were checking out of Camping World,  the temporary cap that was just installed came off again. One minute she's standing there talking and the next minute she has this temporary cap rolling around in her mouth. Needless to say MLA, who was already not feeling great, was not a happy camper with this turn of events. And trust me, when mama's not happy, no one is happy!

So it's back through the rush hour traffic to the dentist. They requested the permanent caps be finished early and have promised us they will be at the dentists tomorrow afternoon. So we made our way home with a third trip through the Phoenix traffic, all the while knowing we have to do again tomorrow. 

Hopefully that will get this issue resolved once and for all!

As soon as we arrived back at Palm Creek our friends Mary Ann and Dave called and invited us over for happy hour. I was only too happy to get MLA out of the house to enjoy our friends company and to enjoy a Margarita. Now she's a happy camper, at least until the Margarita wears off! 

I might turn in a little early tonight....

See Ya!
