Dentistry

[redbird]

I have been to the dentist, and my teeth are now clean. While I was paying for the visit, the dentist said he'd like to do X-rays next time, and I said okay and that he should make a note of that (we didn't do any last time either, so it'll be a year and a half, at least, between sets). Also after the cleaning, he said something about laminates to "make [my] front teeth beautiful" and I said I wasn't buying anything cosmetic.

Less cheerfully, both he and the hygienist commented, approvingly, that I had lost weight. I explained that they didn't want to do it the way I had (the prednisone special), but didn't actually say "hey, I don't want to discuss this topic."

He also asked me who coyotegoth is, meaning "how do you know him?" and because of the way he phrased it, I wound up saying something like "no, he doesn't work with me, but he connected me with the agency that got me this job" rather than "my best friend introduced us."

Oh, now that is a little worrying. I hope it gets cleared up.

It has cleared up. This was several months ago. I lost the bunch of weight fast, and agreed with my doctor that, since I didn't have or want a household scale, I would check my weight at the gym, and if it didn't level off, we would start investigating. I think I may have lost another three or four pounds in the several months since, which is a little odd but not worrisome.

Oh good.
