gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Enough sleep, and not feeling rushed to get to the dentist's.
Sigh.
The dentist I saw today felt that he COULD fill the wisdom tooth, and the cavity in the other one, but it wouldn't be easy.
It could have gone either way, I could just as easily have pulled it, and maybe I will still need to do that in the not too distant future.
Yet, this last filling kept that tooth for a fair amount of time.
While the procedure was...okay, it was very uncomfortable to have someone working on my wisdom tooth at the very back of my jaw. I had to open up VERY wide for a very long time, and in general I do not enjoy the pressure of the drilling and scraping.
It also took a LONG time for the numbing to wear off. Hours. I guess they do what they must.
So now I have an appointment for next week for more of the same. Sigh.
I did go to the thrift store afterwards, finding a few treasures.
Yet, I kind of dissociate during and after something like this, and it's not a great feeling. It takes a while for me to feel "back".
I went home and my Sweetie had let everyone out, so we brought them back in, and when my mouth was awake enough to eat, we had supper.
We watched the "Thunderbolts" movie, which was okay, but was a LOT of that special, Marvel slo-mo action sequences that always put me to sleep because they don't matter, no one dies. They're like a form of dance, with no stakes.
It wasn't bad, it LOOKED great, but it just lacked the sense of connection and urgency that some of the better Marvel movies had. Okay, I don't know that any of them were as good as the first Iron Man.
