Please
if you could, I would appreciate if all of you has some positive
thoughts send my way at 10:00 this morning. I am going to need a lot
of encouragement; I have my dentist annual appointment!
I
won't pull out this appointment from my calendar, it's too late, I
have to give the office a week notice or I will have to pay fees
which, for me, would be as painful.
It's
not the first time I sit in that chair, I'm 56 years old, been there,
done that, hate it every times. To me it's like pulling teeth (not
literally, you know).
Every
time I get drill... “Richard did you floss?” they know the
answer, why the heck they ask the question?
“I forgot to floss 364
days, I just remember this morning, did I do a good job?” will I
answer again. Can't they write that on my file and let go of the
guilt trip?
“Do
you have any teeth ache?” I will be ask.
“YES
I DO, every year after my check up, don't know why, maybe if you
didn't poke all over with those scissor like instrument, I would be
ok!”
“It
has been 3 years since we took your x-ray, we are going to do them
this morning.”
WRONG!
I remembered clearly last year sitting in the x-ray booth, while the
x-ray-er hiding behind a thick wall, was buzzing my face with rays. I
still can feel the square plate they put in your mouth and that you
have to keep from moving by biting something that I can only describe
as piece of tasteless plastic. I don't argue with them, they are my
master. Why don't they take passport picture at the same time, this
is one place where I don't smile ever.
Enough
about me, what are you going to do today? Root canal anyone?
