Bio
A long-time freelance writer who was fated to live in Dallas, Texas and marry a tall photographer. And who did. 31 years into it now. It seemed to be working. And then the whole damned roof fell in. But we've both been to the rodeo before, even this one, and we know what to do. You cowboy up.

Where I am for now...

Rate: 10 Flag

To my dear and faithful readers...

I've just had eleven teeth extracted, plus a bunch of diseased tissue, plus 5 abcesses, plus three impacted roots, plus five posts from root canals, plus bone outcroppings, plus diseased bone. George Washington can go suck it as far as I'm concerned. I have worse teef than he ever thought about.

I look like the Hulk but not as good. When I'm up and mobile I wear a respiratory mask since I look like Elephant Woman and I'm too swollen for my gorgeous replacement teef.

I am living on Cream of Chicken soup, drunk sloppily. Will talk to you when I can and write as I'm able.

With love,

A.

Last week I nearly posted a blog called "Of Nitrous Oxide and Codeine". I understand as I have just come through a botched root canal, extraction and infection that I thought would kill me but it did not involve eleven teeth. That is dreadful. Take very good care and some really good painkillers. All the best.

There are several wonderful things about modern dentistry. 1. Despite how "bad" the process can look, there's not a lot of pain: you can't beat the drugs. 2. No matter how awful your teeth were to begin with, if you have the money and the time, cosmetic dentistry can eventually make you look like the only thing you've ever had in your mouth was a silver spoon. 3. The only people who know you're teeth aren't 100% naturally perfect — are the people you tell!
