Now that we're back in Comox, it's time to get the yearly medical check ups out of the way. First on the list - the dentist. John went first. |

Shelley: Nice. What'd he do?
John: He dug out the rest of the filling and cavity, wrapped 2 wires around the stub, then attached some kind of composite to the wires.
Shelley: Ak. Ak. Ak. Stop! You're making me nauseous. Speaking of, how much did everything cost?
John: Let's see. Four hundred for the filling, plus 500 hundred for the composites on the two front ones, plus two hundred for the check up and cleaning, makes 11 hundred bucks.
Shelley: Jesus Christ. Did you buy his practice too?

John: Trust me. I chose the cheapest option.
Shelley: What were the other choices?
John: He said I could have it pulled for one hundred.
Shelley: You're kidding. I could have done that for free.
John: Ha! Ha! Another option was to pull the tooth and have a bridge built for two to three thousand or, he could pull the tooth, drill a titanium screw into my jaw, then attach a crown starting at twelve hundred bucks.
Shelley: Ak! Now I'm really sick.
John: I know. Right? I was feeling a bit sick myself when he started to describe what he would do with the titanium screw. Drink?
Shelley: It would have been devastating. Just devastating.
John: Jeez Shelley, it's nice to know that for once you were more worried about me than the money. Because, sometimes I wonder.
Shelley: John! I'm hurt by that remark. Of course I care more about you than the money. That would be wrong... so wrong! Besides, I haven't even gone yet... (Sigh) better make that a double.
