4 days left until Christmas -- 4 less teeth...

Today, I got my share of medical attention. For the past 20 years I had been told to get my 4 wisdom teeth out. Never got around to do it until now.

What does it have to do with Tori you might ask?
Well, it's very simple.

After getting to the surgical dentist office, I was fitted with an oximeter finger probe, a blood pressure cuff, an intravenous line (IV) and oxygen nasal cannula.

These are all devices that Tori wore for way too long. It's hard to image what it was like to for her to endure these for so many days.

For example:
- I always wondered what it was like to receive a lot of oxygen though the nasal cannula. Because of hygiene issues, I never tried her's. But I was able to test it first hand today -- Not pleasant.

- I always tried to figure why she would get so upset when getting her blood pressure taken. The default settings on the automatic cuffs do have a serious squeeze.

- And the beeping!

Anyway, coming out of there, I forced myself to believe this dentist thing was just a walk in park and I should not complain about it. I am not talking about any freaky kind of pain transfer or other psychology issues you could think of. This is simply a learning and humbling experience.

Hopefully Sophie and I will feel good enough to go visit her again very soon. Maybe even tomorrow if possible.

Take care of yourselves and your teeth!
