Jewells of Thought

As I indicated a little while ago I had my teeth cleaned this morning at the dentist. If you remember last week I thought I saw some gunk that looked like a cavity coming out of my mouth down the drain. I couldn’t explain it otherwise and I had had some trouble with candy in my teeth recently whether it was due to some candy made by dad or one of his sisters.

When I got to the dentist somehow I was early I went by myself. For once going to an appointment without needing anyone else felt like having independence for a change. Doc got me in early because of what I thought had happened; losing a cavity. Well it didn’t take him long to find out that nothing of the sort had actually happened.

Everything in my mouth was intact. So then I almost felt guilty. It was really surreal even when mom said she saw the hole I thought I felt. There were a couple of moments when I thought if this was a real cavity displacement it should really hurt should it not? I had felt some sharpness a couple of times with my tongue in that area thinking it was the cavity coming out.

My goodness I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life, but still it’s also kind of embarrassing all the same. I told him I would simply have to attribute this to stress last week. There were several doctors appointments in opposite directions meaning 45 minutes both directions for two days on top of eating with Selena Monday night. So three days of long car rides and doctors offices. Plus mommy who told us to have her home by 9 pushed us home earlier when everything would have been fine if she hadn’t said a word. The go between also made the night more frustrating for my niece as well as the real adults with her.

Stress from all that plus the interview situation was a bit overbearing last week. Still I know what I felt and I asked for a second opinion from mom. Maybe I needed a third or fourth I don’t know.

Okay so have you felt something similar to this yourself?
