Success!

[soc_puppet]

I have successfully returned from getting my first filling! It was... a lot. I'm getting my care through the local dental college, so appointments average around three hours; my last one ended a little earlier than that, so this one balanced the scales by ending a little later. The pain was rare and minimal, but the metal collar for my molar slipped a good four times before the procedure was over, and my jawmeats are a bit tender now. But! Teeth protected! Further cavities and pain less likely! Preventative dental medicine: Achieved! Also the tiny chip in #7 I got in late May has been patched up, making it easier to floss and more pleasant to feel with my tongue.

In other news, kittens_and_spitefic is also off to a roaring purring start 😺 I don't know if it'll be able to keep up this momentum, but if the comm manages even one post a month by someone who's not me, with at least one person who's not me responding to posts, I think I will be able to consider it a success.
