I just got back from the dentist. I knew I had some sort of problem going on around tooth #19 there has been a "Lump" there for about a Month. Well that tooth had a root canal about 25 years ago, and I guess they miss the very tip of one of the roots. it has sat dormant all these years , now it has gone and gotten infected.

I have to set up an appointment to see a Super duper specilist in Boston, so see what they can figure out . o joy!

Does this mean you'll be riding while on Codene Thursday?

j/k Dental problems suck. I hope you have decent dental insurance. This will still probably cost some $$$, but you can't ignore tooth problems.

I have Decent Dental Insurance , but I'm sure it is still going to cost!

With stem cell research they've gotten new teeth to grow in mice, they're gonna try in people next. They say maybe in five years they'll be able to plant new teeth in people and they'll have brand new choppers.

That's cool. I'm leaving work at 2:00pm Thursday, so I'll be at your place around 5:00pm. In light of the 'Nam parking issues, we can still park in front of your house, right?

That is really cool and really scary at the same time.

Funny you mention that . I asked my Doc about that. He said it looks very promising , but in reality don't expect to see it become wide spread use for at least 25 years due to all the testing the FDA will put it through.
