Frisco is having a tooth capped first thing today under sedation. He screamed bloody murder after the shot but was asleep within 2.5 minutes. I'm so happy this is being done although it was disconcerting to see him be so out of it so fast. I will be so happy when this is all done.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The constant drumming at OWS seems to have finally stopped. Unfortunately, they now have bagpipe players.
I expect Goldman Sachs will capitulate soon.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm having an "I want to be anywhere but at work" morning. Even a tooth aplomb sounds OK if it came with sedation.
Isn't it unusual to cap a tooth so young? Don't you usually wait for the adult teeth to come in?

Note: spellcheck corrects "capping" to "aplomb". That's really rather random.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The baby molars are needed until they're 12, Theo--and since they're in the back of the mouth, often do not get brushed as well. If they're capped, they will last longer. Both Owen and Olivia have their baby molars capped.

Kid dentistry has changed a lot since my day. I'm not fully sure my dentist believed in anesthesia.

I had my molars capped before I was five. I had a lot of problems even back then. Owen's going in to get a filling done in November and he'll get gas.
Dentistry is one of the most fast moving fields in regards to tech--if the dentists keep up. My new dentist is AWESOME. I have problems with my gums--I get food stuck in pockets all the time causing minor infections if I don't use my water pick. My hygienist can shoot tiny capsules of antibiotics right under the gums where they slowly dissolve and take care of any infection, rather than giving me an oral antibiotic script.
Plus, they shoot cavities with freakin' lasers now! And I can listen to Pandora on wireless headphones while I get my teeth worked on.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Unfortunately, they now have bagpipe players.
Oh Tom, that IS most unfortunate. I hope you have Advil.

All OWS needs is a supergroup of Bon Jovi, Kenny G, and the pipers, and soon Wall St. will be on its knees.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't hit submit on the post right after I composed it, but I was asleep in the ER.
I did watch SPN, but do need to watch it again when I'm more awake. But there are *so* many shows on my TiVo to go through.
But first, I need to pass good wishes from the ER nurses on to my mother, When she's good, she's really very good.
