Thoroughly Thursday

 

Kind of an interesting day to say the least. I was expecting interesting things to happen today just because I was scheduled for a dental appointment at 10:00 a.m. then later on I had a meeting which should have been downtown area at 3:30 p.m. I made both appointments but they were not what I anticipated them to be. My first appointment as I said was an appointment. I'd written about it before I was going for a basic tooth exam to see how many cavities I had how bad they were/are and what it would take to get them fixed, financially. I have been more and more uncomfortable with how much my mouth is going to cost over the next number of years. It's a race, a grim race, erase just the same as to how many teeth I will have before I die. Will I run out of teeth before I run out of time? Right now I'm just worried more about that the molars in the back and actually all the teeth which may have cavities. The best action I can take to ensure that I have my teeth as long as I need them is to do proper hygiene Dental wise as well as preventive trips to the dentist. I know I've got some cavities I just don't know how severe they are and that was why I was even going today so we can get the check up done so we can start the process. Took me quite a while to get dressed this morning I expected that but I was dressed in time even had time to get a bite to eat before I went across the street. I got there the place was packed that's okay I didn't have anything else going today until 3:30 anyway. I waited and I waited I was informed at some point that an emergency oral surgery had to be taken care of. This was not scheduled and it basically ran over into my time. I really didn't mind all that much. I told them that I was okay I'm not in any pain I can reschedule. I couldn't believe they were so astounded and relieved that I was not angry or upset or anything in fact, the office manager find the number of gift cards like playing cards in front of me and told me to choose one. I told them I didn't need a gift card for a restaurant but they said no they were so pleased that I handled the situation as well as I did they sell it I deserved one and I was not going to fight them on the situation. I tried to choose one that was relatively close to my living situation so I wouldn't have to travel too far. There's a steakhouse just up the road from my Apartments and I think maybe I could take it a steak what are these first days. I should do it soon because I don't know how long I'm going to have his teeth. The gift card is for $25. It certainly well that cover two meals if I ever did ever have a date but it should do pretty well with one. I still may have to kick in a few dollars of my own around the middle loud and I'm not sure when I'm going to do that anyway. If I were really smart I would have them deduct 25 bucks I owe the operation. I rescheduled for some time in March I think that sometime in the first week of March. I'm feeling no pain and I can deal with continual searching the cavities with my tongue I just want to make and keep everyone happy especially my dentist:-)
