This morning, I had a sinus lift.

Yes, a sinus lift.

It was costly (dental insurance didn't cover it), but it's necessary for two implants that I pledged myself I'd get this year.  It will be next year, though, as six months have to pass before any more work can be done.

I was given no pain.   But...I may not blow my nose for two weeks.  If I sneeze, I must do it open-mouthed.  For two weeks.

It seems the actual sinus membrane was lifted and now needs time to settle in and get over the shock of being lifted.

I need to be in stasis for two weeks.  Not a day has gone by in eons that I haven't blown my nose or sneezed.

Should be an interesting two weeks.

Procedure took two-plus hours.  There was lots of cutting and grinding.

I felt nothing but the movement of instruments inside my mouth.

I created a safe place for my thoughts which simply contemplated what might be happening in my mouth.  I never want this procedure again.

That said, I'm fine, resting comfortably, and have a comfortable supply of antibiotics and pain killers.

That is all.

On the other hand, I have a new favorite Indian actor.

His name is Diganth, and he makes Kannada language films (known as Sandalwood).

Here are two nice shots of him with different looks:

Here is the clean-cut Diganth:




and here is the more scruffy Diganth:






Diganth has loads of charm and I expect big things from him.

I'm back in the Dentist Chair this evening at 6pm. The new crown is ready. Only one more tooth to work on after that. I need prep work for the crown which may take two or three visits, then the impression and then the installation of the crown.

When it's over I will have spent enough to buy a 3-D television.

I understand completely! I think it's time to make an appointment.  I miss my crazy Russian dentist Zhanna.

I have a very quiet but nice and good East Indian dentist, Dr. Najeeb.

Yikes. I don't know that I could remember to sneeze with mouth open. I, too, have sneezed every day for who knows how long. Many vibes on handling that one.

I went to the Oregon Health Sciences University dental school to have a wisdom tooth removed years and years ago.  First off, they turned on the nitrous and then left the room, forgetting they had done that.  That wasn't so bad (LOL), but the student could not get my wisdom tooth out, and the Dean had to come in and use a chisel or something to break the tooth up and remove it.  They ended up leaving shards of my tooth embedded in my gum which took weeks to work themselves out.

Sounds horrible.  At least the shards didn't have to be removed surgically.

I had been going to the same dentist since I was 12 years old. A couple of years before he planned to retire, he brought in a young dentist, and they worked together for quite some time. So when my dentist did retire, I was okay with the new one because the retiring one was confident in the new one. I will not go anywhere else.

The only dental work I've needed is five (yes five) wisdom teeth removed and one crown to fix a broken tooth, plus some fillings. My dental hygienist makes sure things are healthy every six months.


I wish that is all I have ever needed, except for the 5 wisdom teeth part.

Back from my meeting and deal is done.  Kritzerland will be releasing its first newish Broadway show (albeit one that closed in June) The People In The Picture, starring Donna Murphy, with music by Mike Stoller and Artie Butler, and lyrics by Iris Rainer Dart.  Very excited to be doing this and it's on the very fast track for a December release.  This was originally coming on a different label, but they parted ways a few months ago - and when I heard how this label does things and the charges they make (believe me they pay for NOTHING - the authors paid for everything, and would have paid for printing, pressing and everything else), fees for all manner of pointless things - which is, I think, how they stay in business.  Well, that's just disgusting to me and if you heard the outrageous charges it would be disgusting to you.  It certainly was disgusting to the authors, who are very happy to be doing this with Kritzerland, who charges no fees like those as we really have no employees.

I may have asked this question before, but if I did I have forgotten.  And worse, if I did I also forgot the answer.  This is not really a ASK BK QUESTION, but more an anyone can answer question.

I got another Playbill Discount e-mail today offering me up to $50.00 off tickets to MAMMA MIA.  Is this still the same original run of MAMMA MIA; of for some strange reason has it already been revived?

And just very recently, it passed Miss Saigon to become the 10th longest running show (8th longest running musical) on Broadway!  Its 10th anniversary was just last week on October 18th.
