Something old, Something New, but, thankfully, nothing BLUE!

I'm sure that you're curious as to what my blog title means. No, I'm not crazy and this isn't another "Randy" blog, but I am happy that some progress was made in this weeks dentist trip. As if it were another day, I took my 4-6 minute journey to Dr. Okon's office, made some small talk with Janet and Kathy, the receptionists, and worked my way to the back of the office. I walked into a room and in the middle of an extraction. For those of you who don't know what an extraction is, it's basically when the dentist pulls out teeth, usually with a tool that closely resembled pliers, and, as is normal for an extraction, blood came gushing out of the gum. It's pretty interesting to see it done and even more interesting is looking in the patients' mouth and seeing the holes in the gum. These holes look pretty disgusting the first couple of times you watch it, but, eventually, you get used to it. Anyway, after performing the extraction, Barbie placed in the temporary dentures which, having seen and heard about the difficulties involving dentures, aren't very glamourous.
