My wife woke up with a screw loose

 

Really.

 

And what’s more, she noticed it before I did!

 

She’s been working with a dentist on an implant since last November.  He removed a faulty tooth and imbedded a post in her jawbone in the empty spot.  We had to leave that alone for three months for everything to heal and the swelling to go down.  Mid-month this month, we went back, and they took impressions to use to construct the cap that will fit on the post.

 

We’re scheduled to go again this Friday for the final visit to get the cap put on.  This morning when she got up though, she noticed that the post in the empty spot had come loose; it had unscrewed enough that we had to go right to the dentist to get it tightened back up before it fell all the way out.

 

The mission was a success.  It took about a minute to put it right again.  No more screw loose!  Not from the dental implant anyway.  (Oops.  Did I just say that out loud?)
