This brave little girl

I cannot believe that we went to the dentist and Coco wasn't terrified. I still am, and I remember how scared I was the first time I went. It wasn't fun. But Coco, just like her Big Brother before her, was not afraid, although her best friend went last week and came back crying. She was cool as lettuce. She got her teeth cleaned and polished, and she did just fine.

Of course, when it comes to me, it's not so nice and easy. I was a real disaster, so when she finished and came to the room where I was, I asked the dental assistant to take her to the room with the toys, since I didn't want her to see me distraught. I hate what a baby I am, but boy, just talking about the dentist makes me uneasy.

And so, the news is that I have very serious periodontal disease (which I already new), and I will be losing 3 more molars since the bone has been lost so much in that point of my jaw, that the molars are really not anchored anymore (which I didn't know). That's such a major bummer. Then, they'll try to combat the disease, and make an evaluation later, see where are we standing. It's a real bummer, but not really surprising. My grandmothers (both) have lost all of their teeth by age 40, and seems that I inherited their genes. Oh, well, I'm not even going to cry over it. Not much that can be done at this point, anyways... I guess I'll get use to either steaks in the blender OR dentures. Worse things have happened to me.

Anyways, I'm getting ready for CHA tomorrow... I'll be taking as many classes as can be accomodated in the whole show. I'll have to take pictures and post. I will also be meeting the ladies from the website in which I am a DT... I am sooo excited!

Gotta go to bed, tomorrow I have to be at my friend's at 6:15 to get going... tah-tah for now!
