Update on parts of my head

So, my teeth feel weird. The fillings are so flat, and my teeth should be jagged and sharp for tearing apart meat and stuff! I can't stop feeling them with my tongue and thinking how weird that they are smooth. Yesterday the tooth that needed the big filling felt sensitive to cold water, but today it's feeling more normal. I was hoping I would not have sensitive teeth forever, and it's looking good so far.

***An hour later: now my teeth are feeling very sensitive again. I hope it goes away! I'm just drinking tap water, with no ice, and it feels jarringly cold.***

My eyelids are feeling so much better after one and a half days of disposable lenses! By the end of the day yesterday, my eyes were getting tired of them, but I think that after my eyes and brain get used to my new prescription, it will be fine.

So, Mom does not remember having a fever while she was pregnant with me. She said she may have had a flu or something, but no big, memorable illness. Who knows if that is really the only reason I would have those cataracts? I am no eye doctor.

I'm trying to finish up the last little details of Christmas presents. Part of some presents are alive, so I'm hoping they will look the way I want by the time they are delivered! What could they be? Am I raising puppies or chicks?? I'll tell you after they've been delivered. :)

The Tooth Doctor

So, I was greeted by hygienists saying, "Your appointment is going to be so fast! Your cavities are so little! I wish my fillings were so little!" And I got 3 fillings really quickly. Then the dentist checked their work and noticed that my top back tooth was chipped, and it hadn't been when I was there two weeks ago. She triple-checked my x-rays, and is sure it wasn't chipped two weeks ago.

So, they had to fill that spot, too. That one was a bit bigger. Even though I got really tired of being there, I'm glad she caught it so I could just get it taken care of. Now I have 6 months with no weird objects in my mouth, no stinky latex gloves, no foul-tasting numbing agent (needed only for the 4th, surprise filling), and no foul-tasting bonding agent. Yay!

Also YAY is that my fillings are white (A-1 is the color). I'm so glad they do that now! Two of my new ones are on the bottom, so if I laugh, you could see them. But since they're not silver, you'll never know they're there. The joke's on you, mouth-looker!

********

The longer the day goes on, the more I feel those blisters inside my eyelids. Knowing what is wrong really makes me aware of it! My poor eyelids! I can't wait for them to heal up and feel normal again, after years of being mildly to very uncomfortable.

I'm also pretty excited about my cute new glasses. Maybe they'll be ready early and I can pick them up when I go back to follow up on the contacts I'm trying out. :)
