Hollywood Smile
Sorry for the delay in posting. It's been pretty hectic recently. I have been up and down, well and ill, tired and full of energy! I had my appointment at the dentist. It was an experience! Lets go back a while.
Here I was sitting nursing the news that I could have cancer of the mouth and it would be confirmed by a visit to an oral surgeon. My dentist had written to the hopsital and all I had to do was wait for the appointment. Easy. The letter came and to my shock and disgust, I have to wait 16 weeks for an appointment just to be looked at! Thats 4 months. What can happen in 4 months? Will I be here in 4 months? So I go to my planned appointment with the dentist to have lots of work done on my teeth. Before we start I tell her about the appointmen to see if she can get me seen quicker. No such luck, it's the state of the waiting list system. So many people are on it, I will have to wait.
Okay so I will just tell Mr. C to wait. Do'nt kill me yet until I have waited 16 weeks!!! What a complete load of horse crap!! I was in the chair for an hour and fifteen minutes. Had some fillings, bridge work done and my teeth super cleaned!! I came away with a Hollywood Smile. It's amazing how a nice smile can give you so much confidence. My teeth had been savaged by endless antibiotics, coffee, and a million cups of tea a day. Now they were whiter than I had ever known them. I showed them to everyone...even sent pics to penpals around the world! The pain lasted for about 5 days but it was well worth it!
I am off on my holidays in a few days time, which has been a long time coming. It's been booked for 14 months and now it's finally here! My family has decided that they are going to try and fix me up with a nice lady on holiday...who knows they might just do it! Im looking forward to swimming, something I haven't felt comfortable with doing in about 15 years. I hope I don't chicken out and end up giving in to my fears. When I come back I plan to complete a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and set up a practice. The Clinical part is an addition to Hypnotherapy experience I already have. When I come back from holiday I plan to make some changes to my life, hopefully for the better. Look out Holywood here I come!
