I started this post more than 14 hours ago, in a bathrobe, on the porch, with coffee, before I decided I needed to hop in the shower and get the day started. I was distracted by the trip ahead and the potential, for bad news.
Long before I headed on the long journey with traffic that just kept coming and more road construction than I have ever seen in my life. There was even a new-to-me exit I almost missed!
Way before I to a reached that far away place in order to visit Crystal and spend an hour catching up on her kids and their summer.
Before I settled into her recliner for the requisite welcome pics and she offered me her world famous "gel" to make the hour more more fun!
Well before she began sharing her powerful water and her special polish and we chatted about choosing healthy diets and water picking in the shower. Even before we talked about her new laser toy to see if it might help because at this point, my bridges are geriatric and my implants already middle aged.
Before Dr. M. studied my pictures and peered into my mouth before smiling ear to ear and acknowledging his long ago implants. "Looking good," he said quietly although I think he might have been patting himself on the back for providing my mouth with urban renewal way back when. He then, declared me "absolutely boring." I can honestly tell you it was the very nicest compliment I have ever received.
There has been a bumper crop of not-so-good news among my friends and relatives recently and thus, I am very happy and very proud to have finally, after many years of complex dental issues to have become absolutely boring!

The best kind of boring!
Anita,
I’ll take this kind of boring any day. I had over $10k out of pocket dental work a few years ago, so bring on the boring. BTW, this slice was not at all boring. It was a pleasure to read.
If you are going to be boring, this is the best kind to be. I guess everyone is entitled to take pride in their work. arjeha
