This evening I had an appointment with my dentist for a cleaning and an appointment with my primary care for my annual physical.
It was a good news/ bad news scenario.
First the bad. I told the hygienist that I was having some issues with one of my teeth with chewing and temperature sensitivity. After she finished my cleaning they did x-rays. As you can probably guess, the x-rays show I need a root canal on the tooth that is bothering me. Me dentist looked at the x-ray and said I must have an extremely high pain tolerance as most patients he's seen with that much root pressure would not be able to function. SwiftDogs are tough dogs
Anyway, he wanted me to come in next week to have the root canal done before Christmas as his office is shut down the last week of December. I'm in St. Louis all next week so I couldn't do it then. They had an opening on Thursday so now I have to have a root canal Thursday afternoon. Lucky me
My annual physical was fine. My blood work, BP, and all other SwiftDoggie vital signs were A-OK. Only issues were weight (which I already knew) and an eczema flare up. Got cream for the eczema and a lecture on the weight. At least my body weight is consistent. It's exactly the same as it was when I was there last. Will be going on a diet after the first of the year. I want to avoid the health issues that SwiftDad had.
