Root canal sequel.\u00a0 My one month check-up today.<\/p>\n
Got in the car and drove 50 minutes south to Bloomington, exited on Pennsylvania and took it to the Penncrest Professional Building.\u00a0 I got in about 10:10 for a 10 a.m. appointment.\u00a0 Not bad.<\/p>\n
The dental assistant came in, masked and wearing floral pattern scrubs that looked like a designer of motel interiors had found another outlet.\u00a0 She stuck a plastic gadget in my mouth, had me clamp down.\u00a0 A whir and a click later I spit out the plastic piece and saw the image pop-up directly on the lap-top screen to my right.\u00a0 Pretty damned slick.\u00a0 No film.\u00a0 No wait.<\/p>\n
Dr. Erickson followed her.\u00a0 With a practiced flick of his wrist he moved the long dangling light over my face, gave it a twist to turn it on and began snapping on a pair of rubber gloves.\u00a0 How is it?\u00a0 Good.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 Looks good.\u00a0 You’re ok.\u00a0 If there’s any problem, I’m sure your dentist will call me.<\/p>\n
That was it.\u00a0 I had driven almost an hour for less than 5 minutes of surveillance. Worth it, of course, because nothing beats a professional eye and hand, but 2 hours + on the road.\u00a0 Geez.<\/p>\n
On the way there and back I listened to a recorded book.\u00a0 This time a Clive Cussler thriller titled Plague Ship.\u00a0 Entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
