DOES THIS MEAN...................
Well, it all started with that bowl of granola cereal the other day! I have been eating that cereal for many years now, and I decided to try a globule, or whatever you would call it, of the cereal before I put enough milk on it to soften the gritty stuff! Snap! A big hunk of my molar, tooth # 30, broke off!!! Yikes!!! My good wife has all the tooth numbers memorized and I asked her----TOOTH # 30!!!!!! What fun it is!!Well I went to my longtime dentist and it took an hour and several minutes to put a temporary new portion of a tooth(they call it a crown--does that mean I am Royal??) I won't divulge how much it will cost by the time I get the permanent GOLD crown installed but it is substantial. Is this like getting a new tire for the car???
This was an old tooth, with an old filling in it that they had marked on my file to WATCH!!! Does this mean I am getting OLD???? I think I will title this essay: DOES THIS MEAN?????
The Dental Assistant was very talkative and informed me several times she was so hungry as she did not eat breakfast. You see, she said, the on-duty assistant texted her early in the a.m. that she was ill and could my Dental Assistant come in and take her place. She did. Then being hungry she wanted to talk about fast food, and the taco joint down the street. I told her about my previous meals at that food chain in rather glowing terms, and she finally said, "I think I will go there for lunch!" That being done, the dentist walked in. He did an outstanding job on #30 and I was outta there in a hour and 20 minutes. The receptionist informed she had a new computer from Apple which she really likes as I was on the way out.
Yep, it was one of those adventuresome days for me. I later met my wife and daughter for a lunch out, my face barely hanging together from the anesthetic. But I was able to coax "some of the food" into my mouth staying away from the "danger area"---TOOTH 30!!! I didn't want my wife and daughter to think they were lunching with an infant. You know what I mean if you have ever fed an infant at the hi-chair. The food is ALL OVER THEIR FACE!!!!!!
Well, that is it!!! I came home with a slight headache, which got worse. Took a couple of tylenol and sat down with the TV.
Another Adventure from Retirement!!!
Happy Days!!!
(I wonder when the next molar will go!!??)
My teeth are ancient.
If found by a paleontologist, they would be identified from the era of the Tyranosaurus!!!

Wonder what adventure TOMORROW will bring??
