We have new neighbours moving in today. My street has consisted primarily of elderly folks who are being forced to sell their homes and move. Two more homes are going to be put up for sale in the next couple of weeks. Changes. Always changes.
I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I hate going to the dentist. Hate. It is only for a cleaning but I get so stressed with going I always end up getting a headache and feeling like I am going to throw up. In the past I have taken very good care of my teeth (flossing, water-pic. brushing with an electric toothbrush, brushing my tongue) but since my mom died I am lucky if I brush twice a day. I am sure my dentist is going to notice, damn it.
It's sunny here too today after heavy rain yesterday. How sad for the old folks forced to sell up. I am sure your dentist visit will be ok as you have looked after your teeth well. However I know exactly what you mean, it is so unpleasant isn't it? Be thinking of you and hope it's over quickly. xx
ReplyDeleteYippee for the warm weather. Hope the visit at the at the dentist will be pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you girl. I had a root canal 3 years ago. I never went back to the dentist. I'm one of those fanatics that goes every 6 months faithfully for 60 years for cleanings! The root canal...which was not painful in the least...traumatized me for life. The idea....sitting there for hours...and the fact that I could have bought a used car for what I paid for one stinkin' tooth. I finally went back for a cleaning a month ago. THREE YEARS!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the dentist, blah. But you will feel good afterward. Keep smiling.
ReplyDeleteDentists terrify me. I can pinpoint why though. Aged ten or eleven I had the nerve from a dead tooth removed. It didn't hurt, but it felt gross. A tear welled, but didn't fall. The dentist slapped me!
ReplyDeleteAdd that to the fact that they are obscenely expensive, invade my personal space and the fear of pain and it takes all my courage to keep returning each six months. And no, I never went back to THAT dentist.
No-one likes dentists but they're much better than they used to be. I hope your session wasn't too traumatic.
ReplyDeleteHi Birdie .. I consider myself lucky - I've always had wonderful dentists and have always been happy to go to them - in fact looked forward to it .. as a kid our dentist was in London .. so we had treats too - and his surgery was next to Harrods - so that was always incredible to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up here .. though the rain is flooding us out - yet won't help the drought much ...
Still now the A - Z is over I must get my act into gear and get out a little more! Cheers and thanks for the visit over .. Hilary
I feel the same damn way. And isn't it a relief when it's over?
ReplyDeleteI use to hate the dentist. However, 11 years ago I found the most amazing dentist! He cares, his staff cares, they are like family. I'm more bummed I haven't been back since I lost my dental insurance... :( Hope it went ok.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby JUST called me from the dentist. Jean, the Ripper (as we lovingly call her) heard he had a sensitive spot and proceeded to clean and clean and clean his poor mouth until he felt like sobbing. I'm sure he'll notice the benefits of her being so thorough in a day or two. Tonight he was just glad to get out of the chair!
ReplyDeleteCome to Connecticut, and I will take you to my dentist. He is a gentle genius!
ReplyDeleteHello Dear One.
ReplyDeleteOh - the peeing on the dr is funny, actually!
The mother feelings and the father feelings - not funny.
Post about when your surgery will be.
I love you.
