MISSING THE MAGIC

12/2/2016

 
Picture
Ah, caramel corn. The stuff of dreams; and nightmares.
My advice?
​
Skip the caramel corn.
Skip the caramel popcorn and there’s a good chance you’ll skip the cracked tooth, the root canal (actually, two root canals on the same sorry tooth), and the $3000 investment; unless of course you’re a masochist with a penchant for popcorn, pain, and losing investments. 

That’s right; I lost said tooth earlier this year despite all my heroic efforts.  I hate when that happens!

What a pain, on so many levels, in so many places! 

I miss the days when oral hygiene was little more than brushing and flossing and semi-annual visits to the dentist; the days before root canals, before extractions, before implants. 

Holy hygiene!  I’d rather give birth than go through another dental implant. 

I miss the tooth fairy!  

I miss the excitement of waking to find money under my pillow.  I miss the ease (and economy) of permanent teeth (obviously permanent is a misnomer) stepping in to fill the void.  It's been a rough week of oral surgery filling the current void.

Above all, I miss the magic.  It's just not the same via vicodin.   

Magic was something I could sink my teeth into, back when it was as pure and plentiful as a mouth full of shiny new teeth.

As always you make the event something we can smile about.... you, not so much. Hope you're feeling better soon. Have Jim put a quarter under your pillow. That shows how far back my tooth fairy days go.

Good idea. I'm going to mention it to Jim!

Good one Joan
