not machines

I am now flu vaxxed! Yay for science!

My visit to the dentist on Friday revealed a tiny chip and even smaller crack. And another crown required to replace an elderly filling. [insert your choice of swear words].

It’s eye-wateringly expensive, even with health insurance – I’m ever thankful that I’m in a position to be able to afford it. Of course I’d prefer that I didn’t have to.

Also I need a night guard because it is very likely I’m clenching my teeth quite hard during sleep. Perhaps it would be better to just stop working? Thereby removing all stress!

It’s really interesting (and quite awful) that we’re so conditioned to think that any teeth (or health) issues are the result of poor choices – but actually sometimes you just have shit teeth.

  1. Bonjour ( quand même)

    C’est vraiment beaucoup de désagréments pour une seule personne…
    Je suis retraitée du travail et même du bénévolat à l’extérieur (je me contente maintenant de tricoter pour les prématurés de l’hôpital). Chaque minute est précieuse même si non productive..
    Repos et beaucoup d’eau pour aider la grippe..
    Douces pensées

    • What a wonderful and kind thing to knit for premature babies!

      Luckily it was only a flu vaccination and only a little tiredness and sore arm afterward. Hopefully I am a little bit invincible for the winter.
