Thursday morning greetings! We had a great time last night at the Rick Steves event sponsored by my former employer. It was nice to see several library friends and even one of my grantwriter friends. The event was held in the beautiful auditorium at the Dayton Art Institute and Rick gave a fabulous presentation. To answer DR Jane's question from last night, we don't have specific plans for another trip to Europe but will probably do something in 2013.
Well today I must bite the bullet (so to speak) at the dentist's. Not looking forward to it.Dental vibes.

You probably know Rick is a Northwesterner and his show is syndicated by Oregon Public Broadcasting. I reviewed several of his company' Blu-rays last year.
And the word of the day is: INSTAURATION!
I know everyone has been worried, so I will tell you that I found all of the video tapes I was looking for.
Knowing your taste in videos, Elmore, well ... never mind.I know everyone has been worried, so I will tell you that I found all of the video tapes I was looking for.

Thanks for the vibes, I'm back not really much worse for the wear. Part of my anxiety is I've only had one "real" cavity in my whole life (I have a couple of other fillings from my adolescence caused by my braces, believe it or not). I found out today the issue is age, not lack of dental hygiene, which I find incredible considering my extreme youth. :) But today's filling (for age related root decay) was easy. The bad news is my dentist thinks I should have two teeth pulled by an oral surgeon, again due to age related root decay. I asked him if I waited long enough if they would just fall out, and he stared at me, agog. ;)

If he could drive himself he would skip the doctor's appointment.
The vet looked at his ear and exclaimed it looked painful. He has a minor yeast infection and the top section of the inside of the ear looks like a bacterial infection. We got a third medication to add to the two we picked up for the yeast infection. The new med is a spray which also has a steroid in it to help with the itching & pain.
After the vet appointment we took him for a hike.

I asked him if I waited long enough if they would just fall out, and he stared at me, agog. ;)
I want a second opinion, Jeffrey. Of all the dental ills I have endured (including an abscessed tooth that had, less than 6 months earlier, been crowned...badly, as it turns out), I have never had anyone mention "age-related root decay." That's not to say I think something like that is unlikely...I'm just saying I spent my teenage years in a dentist's chair...being treated with minimal anesthesia. I used to squeeze dents into the arms of the chairs with my hands to tolerate the pain of drills against raw nerves. My dentist told my mom I was a difficult patient and that I was properly anesthetized.
I was in the Navy when I learned that I wasn't supposed to feel pain. And if I did feel pain, then "normal" application of anesthesia was not sufficient.
Big revelation.
Anyway, I've had a laser treatment (LANAP procedure) done on my whole mouth...followed up with some sort of injections into my gums. Had a DNA test done and discovered I have a rare bacteria in my mouth that affects gums. The injections rid my gums and roots of the bacteria, and the toothpaste (gel) I now use (kind of pricy at $15 a tube) keeps it all in check. My teeth are probably healthier today than they've been since I was a kid (the military dentists did nothing but fill, refill and re-re-fill teeth that should been crowned).
ALL OF THAT SAID...it seems odd that I've never had anyone mention "age-related root decay." It seems like something that would be right up my alley. Unless, of course, you're "considerably" older than I.
:D
Yes I did a name change. I didn't think it would cause such a bid deal. :-)
Betsy thinks I should get a second opinion, too. He showed me the digital x-rays and explained that I *could* have a $4000 root canal on this tooth but that the tooth probably wouldn't be saved in any case, so why not just remove it. It's resting right next to a wisdom tooth and so getting to it to do a filling is impossible, evidently.
He said age related root decay is very common for those over 50 (I still don't know why he's including me in that group ::) ). He said what happens is the gums recede and then tiny cavities down where the gum used to cover them up are exposed. That's what he's calling age related root decay.Thanks for the vibes, I'm back not really much worse for the wear.

I really really want a good Reuben Sandwich.
A friend was telling me yesterday about what looks like a very cleverly executed case of identity theft against one of his accounts. We don't know for sure yet whether it was intentional or accidental, but in checking into it he discovered a big hole in security procedures. I then called my bank and they verified what my friend discovered. I don't wish to publicize the hole; let's just say that it's much, much easier to steal from someone than most of us would imagine. My friend is quite a cynic and even he didn't think this could be done. The only recourse we've found is to check all your bank and credit card statements regularly and very closely. This was very cleverly disguised.
