I had a follow-up appointment with the dental surgeon today. An assistant took one X-ray, and then the dentist tightened one of the two posts that will in due course support implants. I'm supposed to go back in January; at that appointment they are going to remove a little bit of gum before making an impression of my mouth.
This appointment was back at the office in Watertown Square, with the same receptionist, but new management so I had to fill out a bunch of forms about things like my current medications. The sign now says "Call Dental Center," rather than "All Dental Center"; I guess they wanted to change the name as litte as possible.
One odd bit: they had the news on in the waiting room, and I heard someone on CNN say there was "only half a fortnight" until Election Day. Yes, technically a week is half a fortnight, but I wouldn't have expected a CNN announcer to say "fortnight" at all, and I wouldn't expect anyone to say "half a fortnight." If he had started to say "half a month," that was an impressively smooth recovery.
I took the 71 bus home, so I could stop in Harvard Square and get ice cream at Lizzy's; I had been completely out of chocolate ice cream, and almost out of black raspberry.
