After the loss of my crown problems have developed.

I woke up this morning and all was not well.
I had a pain in my head and my face it had swelled.
The crown that I’d lost just a few days ago
Had left behind problems which just seemed to grow.
**
A visit to the dentist did not bring me cheer.
Where once was the crown, there was pain quite severe.
The root had to be dug out as infection had set in,
And no amount of trying would bring forth a grin.
**
I was told that a denture would have to be fitted,
Something that my mother had and I’d always pitied.
I have visions of false teeth lying in a glass
Reminding me old age had really set in at last.
**
I’m feeling quite poorly as the ache will not go.
My Easter eggs wait for me all in a row.
I’ve never said no to chocolate before
But this is a pain that I just can’t ignore.
**
Don’t worry, I’ll be better before very long
And maybe be able to bring forth a song.
But for now I’ll let my hubby know I’m not well
And that I need looking after just for a spell.
