Slice of Chaotic Life

I went to my regular dentist, which picked out the tooth (this is one of the two wholly synthetic ones, after all), cleaned the spot where it had been sitting (I kind of made this an issue), sterilized the tooth and glued it back on. Cost me barely $200. Between the oral surgery, the various heart tests and artery scans, and now this, there’s a bit of maintenance. But by Norwegian levels, it is not hideously expensive. We don’t have universal insurance for dental works, so that’s the actual price. For other health expenses we get part of them covered by the state-run health insurance. (Technically it is not a tax, but most people think of it as such, since it is mandatory. In any case, I have definitely paid my part so far.)

To be honest, I had the tooth fixed two days ago, on the 9th, but forgot to write about it then. It is much easier to write when there is something to whine about than when something is fixed! A human trait, I still have some of those… ^_^’

My upper jaw still hurts when I wake up from sleep, for some reason. Perhaps I gnash my teeth in my sleep? Let us hope that is not a predictor of my final sleep! In any case, it tends to improve quickly after I get up. And my nose no longer smells like a decaying zombie – that’s bound to be a good thing!
