So I Fibbed Two Posts Ago

When I said I was all done with recuperation, I thought I was. But I wasn't 100% yet. Either that or I pulled a neck/shoulder muscle when exercising one night while watching The Golden Girls. Yeow!

I found it somewhat uncomfortable to sit at my desk for about a week and am still babying myself somewhat. I elevated my computer monitor at my desktop unit to accommodate myself and now use my netbook elevated on a dinner table tray so I can maintain better posture until everything settles down.

Since my wisdom tooth extraction I have had another tooth filled and have two more to have filled at a dentist appointment on Monday (or perhaps one Monday and one on the 20th). It was actually kind of neat because the dentist I went to now gave me white fillings versus the metal ones my old dentist did because he said my mouth was too saliva filled for the white ones to be dry long enough to set.


I have always had a problem with cavities despite practicing good oral care. My dentist never told me why. However, the day before I married in 2005, I drove my little brother to the dentist and he had several cavities filled. The dental assistant explained that it wasn't his fault - his teeth didn't seal properly inside when they grew in so they were cavities waiting to happen. I figure mine were the same way. Both of us were old enough that we weren't at the dentist with our new teeth after sealant use became compulsory on new permanent teeth. Considering my dentist was older, my teeth were probably never sealed.

While dental problems are always a hassle, there are worse things in the world. I'm glad to be able to work through my little aches and pains right now and do my computer work and read again. When reading is a large a part of your life as it is mine, even a couple week hiatus makes you feel awkward.

Long story short - worse situations barring, I am truly back now. I've currently got a new review of The Keeper by Suzanne Woods Fisher up and have another book on the block for this week (I'm about halfway through with it). I can't wait to share it and other news with you soon!
