BLUE FOR THURSDAY

 

I am dressed in shades of blue today because the softness of pastel blue is comforting for me.  I have spent two hours in the dentist chair and I am wiped.  No pain.  Just the pressure on my teeth and 'stuff' in my mouth, and the sound of the drill, and the smells of everything.  The dentist is a love and we have marvelous conversations.  This crown that just went in is as close to perfect as it could be.  It just slipped right, was seated comfortably, the bite is right, and all is well. 

Then the drill.  Novocaine because it was getting too deep.  And then the decay had gone past filling and into the inlay stage.  That took more time and another x-ray and another impression.  It was a lot.  I am not thirty any more and it has taken a LOT out of me.  BUT, put on the comforting colors; get a comforting can of tomato basil soup; and off to work I go.
