It happens every time. When I get together with the van Eyks one of us gets hurt. Apparently this time it was my turn. We were playing basketball (a game that is certainly much more violent than hockey) and as I was driving for the net to do a lay-up I tripped and smashed my face against the pole. I came away with my hand to my mouth and when I looked down I had half of my front teeth in my hand. After saying a few words that I won't repeat here for the sake of my good friend 'anyomous' I went inside and took a look at her. Let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. My one tooth was knocked out of its socket and sticking straight back into my mouth, and the other one had several large chunks missing from it. so to make a long story short; and not to bore you with the insignificant details like hot dental assistants and more unrepeatable language, I ended up with some temporary braces to hold my tooth in place and I'll need to go get some rebuilding work done on the other one plus I will probably need a root canal.
Thankfully when I called my insurance they said that this is covered by them since it is an emergency, but I doubt I'll be able to get the other stuff covered, so I might just be out a few bucks. praise be to God though, that it wasn't any worse and that the insurance company is being so helpful. Here is a picture of my teeth right before going to the hospital.
