The Latest Journey

I think I mentioned many months ago that I was having a lot of oral surgery...surgery which left me very sick and in pretty constant pain for more than four months. Three of those months were on a totally soft diet, and the last two months I have had to avoid hard or crunchy things.

Well guess what! That is going to be over soon! Not immediately, but soon.

I have started on the road to having beautiful teeth. I found a dentist I really like -- one who isn't mean or judgmental or holier than I. He seems like a genuine nice guy. I am not kidding you, I've had two appointments with him this week and will have another next Tuesday, and I'm not freaking out. Oooo! Oooo! And I didn't feel any of the shots he gave me. None! I didn't even feel them. So no crying or squealing or braying like a sheep about to be docked.

Next week I go in for a crown on a molar. The next week my invisible braces will be in. 6 to 9 months after that I'll have crowns on the 6 front teeth. And the Lauren Hutton gap between my two front teeth (which has grown over the years to look like I was missing a tooth) will be nonexistant. Soon after that I plan to start my next career as a supermodel! (I heard that, since you can't eat with the invisible braces in your mouth, people using them loose about 10 pounds! That should help me with my supermodeling.)

Congratulations on starting on the road to beautiful (and hopefully more comfortable) teeth. I do hope you remember us when you're a famous supermodel :)
