oops, when I wrote that last post I hadn't read yours, Cathy. I was interrupted by a call from the human resources office at work about all these forms I have to get all my doctors to fill out about how long I was out and why and how long I will be out and why. Since there hasn't been just one doc in charge of my case that's going to be complicated and I know there will be a week here and there where technically I could have worked but my chair and I both agreed that I shouldn't come in for one week here adn one week there and confuse all the students with a different teacher and expose myself to the flu. I hope they don't decide I don't get paid for those weeks now! Another thing to deal with.

Anyway, thanks, Cathy, for the answer about the teeth. My dentist who I saw this morning also said that fillings and bridges should be no problem, just major oral surgery would be.
