Today I am fifty-eight years old! The only time in my lifetime I’ll be the same age as my birth year, 1958. (well, not the one thousand, nine hundred, bit) Which I think is a remarkably wonderful and curious thing.
In lieu of cake, which I can’t eat until at least Monday
Yesterday I underwent the next step in my tooth implant adventure which I posted about in May with the ‘oh-so-very-understated-title of ‘I had a hole drilled in my skull the other day’. This time it was only a small, relatively speaking, procedure, to screw in the pin that will secure the thingy that the new tooth will be built around. But still there was the local anesthetic, and the blood, and the stitching, and the sore jaw to endure. All of which means that today I’m celebrating my birth day with analgesics and a hot water bottle plastered to the side of my face.
Mrs Widds, who is doing her bi-monthly retreat, (full, and dark, of the Moon) left a beautiful hand made card on my desk for me to find this morning.
As Fifty-Eighth Birth Days go, this one’s not too bad.
What my teefs will look like … heh, heh, heh
Happy birthday, Widders. Have the best day you can, under the circumstances! 😀 xx

Thanks Running Elk … I did. It was peaceful and quiet … somehow perfect for toothaches and birth days. 🙂

Happy Birthday Widdershins 🙂 Oddly enough, when I’m 74, I’ll be the same age as my birth year! 🙂

Sorry to hear that you can’t have your cake yet, so have a very happy extra birthday on Monday!
Any chance of seeing the new teef in situ?

My dentist is taking pictures of the whole process. When I head in for the next stage I’ll have a word. If not I’m sure Mrs Widds would be amenable to taking a few shots. 🙂

An interesting statistic. Hope all goes well and you have a good birthday. My statistic I rather liked was 07.07.07 when I reached official retirement age which was then still 65.

Happy Birthday! At this rate, I’ll be having the same accompaniment for mine in November! Oh, what it is to have constant dental work. Feeling for you and hope that by the time you read this, the pain and soreness have abated.

It mostly has but I have to be careful chewing, and not hurt my cheekbone (it’s still swollen) and you’d be surprised how many way you can bump it. 🙂

Many congratulations! I’m sorry to hear about the toothwork (Hmm… I don’t think that’s a real word!), but at least you’ll have a million dollar smile when the swelling goes down. 😀
Incidentally, I just calculated that my age and the birth year won’t be the same until 2034. 🙂
