“Some pains are physical, and some pains are mental,
but the one that's both is dental.”
― Ogden Nash
The whole extraction/root canal procedure only took two hours. She said she had dentist friends from here to Illinois and I can see anyone of them all I need to do is just to call her. I was given steroids, antibiotics and medicated mouthwash. The stitches are dissolvable . I feel pretty secure in leaving Friday but I am going to take it day by day.
Being a gift giving dentist - I was interested in what would be in my extraction gift bag. The usual things - gauze, instructions, a syringe.... but at the bottom of the bag was the surprise. It was a package of instant oatmeal. Well I said screw that I bought some ice cream.
Friday night, September 11, 2020, I broke a back molar. Since my uppers are like cornbread (dentist's comment not mine) I woke up Saturday morning, around 4 a.m. packed and left for home. Fortunately the tooth fairy didn't have to leave $5,000 under my pillow. Tomorrow will be my extraction and Saturday I will be leaving - if not sooner.
Bad luck runs in threes and so my bad luck is over and nothing but clear skies ahead.
Seriously the past three months have really sucked but between the "this sucks" are moments that have made me happy. Great times with friends, meeting Michael and Andy, a horse named Syrup, Bisti, and a marvelous dream where I saw my sister again happy. Lots of good times between "this sucks."
My daughter, HJ, and I have been sharing music back and forth... As I looked back on the songs I sent her I realize how depressing some were. So I got on Spotify and performed a search for "Positive Vibes." I did not know there was a club song titled "Peanut Butter and Jelly." And as corny and silly as the song is - it just made me start dancing in the kitchen again. It has an Aqua vibe going on - remember "Barbie Girl?" Yes, I am going to contaminate my blog with YouTube Videos. Grab a partner -
