The wrong teeth

Just a quickie . . . The dentist phoned to say my teeth were ready for collection . . . Off I went pretty excited at seeing a replica of my teeth, plus missing ones, and being able to imagine them replacing what's left of the real thing . . . Until I got home and inspected them . . . They are tiny! I'm not at all pleased. I don't know what to do.
The first thing I have to do is go speak to the dentist. He did say that the first "temporary" set would not be what I wanted and would not fit properly until the gums had healed. Then they do a second permanent set to the shape of the healed "shrunk down" gums (yuk) . . .  But he only implied the second set would be a better fit . . . not better teeth . . . Certainly not bigger teeth
If they are intending to use the same small teeth on a better fitting denture then I can't do this . . .  I will have to re-think.
Do I presume that the impressions are only taken to get an idea of gum/mouth shape . . . not of existing teeth? There is no way they have made these teeth from the cast that was taken of my front teeth.

So I've gone from being excited and looking forward to new teeth . . . to wondering what the hell I'm gonna do? I am certainly not being "put to sleep" to wake up with that "joke" in my mouth.

I know this is partly my own doing for being afraid and leaving it for so long . . . But that doesn't mean that I don't care how I look. Quite the opposite, I now care enough to do something about it . . . And enough to not compromise.

Until two days ago, my biggest fear in the "tooth department" was not waking up from the anaesthetic . . . Now it's waking up with a row of even, straight baby teeth. Good Lord I'd rather keep what I have.

OK I'm gonna do the lottery today for the third time in my life. If I just won enough to go "private" and get the teeth I want and need to look like me, that's what I would spend it on.
I mean it's not like I'm 83 or something . . . I could be wearing these teeth for the next 30 (?!) . . . Ok, 20? years with my new healthy lifestyle ;-)

So apart from my teeth worry . . . All is fine . . .  All is more than fine. Twenty-Three days Clean!
I'm enjoying raking through memories, photographs, letters and drawings with a view to writing more "from the archives" . . .  I was very pleasantly surprised by the reaction to my first attempt (Prof Higgins - part one) . . . Thankyou all for reading and for your encouraging comments.
