progI am not feeling optimistic about my dental check-up in two days, particularly with the two small cavities that the doc said were closable with vigilance. I... may have been lax.
Really, the fact that two folks on my FL have recently gone in for root canals has made me more nervous. (Because clearly, tooth decay is contagious over the internets. And also caused primarily by uncleared engrams.) I can't tell if the occasional achiness I feel in the cavitatious areas is imagined or not. Then again, already I can hear those of you who have suffered real tooth pain assuring me that if I can't tell, I am in fact imagining it.
And to my credit, it's been only 7 months since my last visit. This is the closest I've had two check-ups since I was a kid. We'll see what happens.
Yes in fact I am hanging onto my Harvard employment just long enough to get one last check-up in under them, and -- if it comes to it -- a couple more drilly sessions. If that has to happen, I want it to be with this doctor, as he knows about my painkiller resistance. I can imagine a new dentist quite reasonably questioning my request for two shots of the extra-strong stuff.
Yes in fact I am blogging openly about leaving work now. Woo woo woo, look at my little dance. I only know of one person in that realm who might be reading this, and he's a couple of blast-doors away in the departmental diagram, so I don't think that will upset the pacing of my revelation there.
