Oscar is a cutie.

Page three.

Wordle in four.

I'm up, I'm up - I managed to be in bed by 12:15 so almost eight hours of sleep, a very good thing.

[bk]

I'll leave here in about thirty-five minutes and be on my way to the dentist for dentistry.

[bk]

I'm a bit nervous about pain, but let's hope it's not bad. And unless I'm nuts, perhaps the salt water helped because the swelling seems to have gone down a bit.

That's so great that the swelling seems to have gone down a bit.

[Laura]

Good morning, again.

[Jane]

Good luck.

[Laura]

BK, I had to go in again after one of my crowns. I just went into the office and asked if he could take a quick look, because it didn't seem to be healing.

[Jane]

I expect it did help, plus the fact that you stopped flossing.

[Laura]

I think he scraped some glue-type stuff off.

[Jane]

Interesting.

[Laura]

So, I have gained three pounds. Oy.

[Laura]

I took a break from walking, because I was sick, then I donated blood. That always makes me tired for a few days.

[Laura]

But there's no excuse now.

[Laura]

And I need to cut out carbs again.

[Jane]

And I need to cut out carbs again.

Same here.  I will begin after my birthday.

[Jane]

Oh my, it is Friday already and I have much to do.

[ChasSmith]

Damn. All along, I'd been forgetting this, but DR Laura's comment about her crown made me remember:

Once when I had a temporary crown on a molar way back in my mouth, I had a lot of irritation in the gum or cheek for the next day or two, and it took me a while to get the idea to look in there with a flashlight to see if I could see anything. Indeed, there was a piece of something tooth-colored kind of sticking out of the gum around the wisdom tooth next to the crown, so I got my finger back there and found out it would move. I thought it wasn't really part of anything, but even if it was, I had to find out so I began pulling on it. Sure enough, it began coming out from under the gum and it turned out to be a long sort of spirally piece of -- I dunno -- some material obviously left in there by mistake. Maybe a glue thing, who knows. It seemed to have nothing to do with the crown, but it had been cutting into my cheek and feeling like a bad canker sore. Well, everything IMMEDIATELY felt better, felt right, and that little episode was all over.

Having now remembered that, I can't wait to hear what BK's issue turns out to be.

I rinsed it off and kept it for a couple of days, thinking I'd show the dentist, but I finally said why bother, who cares, it's resolved. But I wonder if I took a picture of it. Hmm...

[bk]

Back from the dentist and bank.

[bk]

I suspect when the huge amount of Novocain wears off there will be a lot of pain. The culprit was tartar - a HUGE piece stuck up there. He thinks he got most of it out of there but boy did he have to work at it. From what little I can feel, it's still is a bit swollen but that's probably natural - he said about 70% was already down, swollen-wise, and he wants me to do the warm salt water thing later, so I will, even though I hate it. I'm going to attempt to take two Tylenol now, but am worried that I won't be able to swallow properly yet - we'll see. He also gave me a prescription for amoxicillin  if I need it. Up to me. So, we'll see how I'm feeling after rehearsal ends. If it's okay I won't get it, if it's really painful, I will go to CVS. I do believe all medicines are covered by insurance, so it's free.

[bk]

That's been my day so far.

[bk]

Managed to get the Tylenol swallowed.

[bk]

Obviously, no food until after rehearsal. I would love some creamy tomato soup but I'm sure the idiotic nearby Gelson's won't have it. On the other hand, it's clam chowder day everywhere so I might have a bowl of that from someplace.

[ChasSmith]

Oy!  Wow.

The dentist recently left me so numb that I did indeed have trouble holding liquid and keeping my mouth closed and swallowing right without dribbling or spewing all over the bathroom. I accidentally looked in the mirror and there was some idiot making a stupid face.

Yikes, that must have been horrible until you got it out!

Vibes that you get through rehearsal OK.
