2744-2743

I ended up not making a post yesterday--for a number of reasons. I had a hygiene session yesterday morning that was encouraging in some ways. I went in thinking that the tartar buildup was worse than I've ever had. Turns out the tartar is built up but is not as deeply seated as it was when the scaling took place 3 months ago. The hygienist said that in 25 years of her seeing outcomes that I had a major improvement in gum pockets over what she normally sees. I had several 3+ pocket improvements--versus what would usually be 1+ type results. Good news--but no snooze! Have to keep at it!

Turns out that the periodontal rinse that I'm using tends to produce some extra staining and dark tartar buildup--but it's not a big deal as long as I'm making progress on the pocket issues.

After dealing with the hygiene issues, I got a circuit session in at the fitness center, ate something, and napped for a while. I also started obsessing a bit around the beginner's class that I had agreed to attend today. It turned out that I did okay as a spotter in the class--and was able to stay on for the afternoon class. I did not fade out like I thought I would while doing 3.5 hours of dancing. I came away from that afternoon of dance feeling solid.

Tomorrow is going to be a full day as well--MD's Bday brunch in the morning and dance class in the afternoon. Will just keep on chugging and see where it takes me.
