Doctors and Dentists

NOTE: I guess I forgot to “publish” this one when I wrote it (May 11th, 2007), so back date it in your mind….
I hadn’t been to a dentist in 2 plus years (1 cavity), before that, I hadn’t been to a dentist since before I met Beth (1 cavity) … and I had insurance (when I worked at LSI, not HCA)! This time around, not nearly as lucky. 5 freaking cavities. All small ones, apparently, but more metal for my mouth (I haven’t looked if they are the metal ones or white ones…). Here’s the best part – only took half an hour. The bad part? That was at 10am. it’s now 2pm and I can finally feel my lip again. 3 shots of novocaine. top right (2), top left(1), bottom left(2). Good God. I was scared to eat and drink, thinking that I would chew right through my lip!
Beth had her first “official” prenatal visit today. We didn’t get to use the “good” ultrasound machine, so no good views of the fetus. Next time! I hope her conversation with the NP helped her out and calmed.
Off to Brian Benz’s send off party in a little while. He’s my now former boss here at Pearson VUE. He accepted a stay-at-home job with a financial company. He was here for 10 years! The dept. is going to a seafood bar (Stealls’ in uptown) and tip a few back in celebration.
Primetime tonight and St. Croix Live tomorrow. Joy, joy!
