Today was filled with a number of disparate activities. It began with a research meeting to discuss next steps in writing a paper. I then virtually attended a celebration of life for a mentor and friend. The Next came a dental visit for a filling. The existing filling had cracked over decades of service and there were a few micro-fractures in the tooth as well as the start of a cavity between that tooth and the one beside it. Near the end, I noted that my hands were shaking. I was told that would be due to the adrenaline added to the freezing compound. He also noted that I was a bit wound when I arrived today, so had a lot of adrenaline circulating before that. I had planned to walk to do a couple of errands, but chose to head home and rest. I chose not to eat lunch before going to the dentist, so I tried eating when I got home. The experience was interesting. as I had to ensure I didn't bite the frozen cheek and lip. I wanted to let the filling set a bit, so had to chew on the opposite side from usual. I will likely have some soreness in the jaw joints tomorrow as well as the area where the work was done. The healing will take some time, but shouldn't be too bothersome.
The song today is about visiting the dentist. It is a parody of a rock song that brought a smile after my experience today. Keep well. Enjoy!
