Didn't make it to the last dance class for this session--did a dance with the dentist instead. I ended up minus one tooth (right upper molar--tooth #2). And, I will be going back for some gum procedures that will attempt to prevent losing more teeth. Of course, my insurance doesn't cover any of this. The dental clinic will reduce the full costs by about 50%, but it will still be a big hit.

The tooth extraction seemed to go smoothly and I've not had any pain or discomfort from the procedure. Have to eat soft foods and other regimens for a few days. But, I had to punt on the dance class today. One of the items on the post-extraction check list was to avoid any exertion--do nothing that would stress or strain the area where the tooth was removed. The molar that was removed was one of the newer crowns that I just had done before coming here.

Watched the last parts of the Survivor series. This season's results were a lot more engaging than I thought they would be as I watched the first episodes this time around. I think the guy who won the $1MM deserved the win--he played his ass off from day one. He was also a bit wacko and fun to watch. This season's shows are coming to an end. It'll be a long hot summer without them while we wait for their return in the Fall.

Will the tooth fairy leave me a surprise tonight? I can put my tooth under my pillow and find out.
