Hey Irish,

Thanks for the well wishes. My ortho and his assistant break out the

springs for me when I have stubborn teeth, so that's the next phase

of treatment before the dreaded fixed wire retainer. " We'll make it

fit " is their usual mantra. I'm not too upset, really, people have a

lot worse things going on than my little wayward tooth.

Funny about the temp thing - first words out of my mouth in the

recovery room post-op were " Hot! Hot! " and " Change tape! Change

tape! " (the latter for the surgical support tapes I used). I used to

suffer from the cold too, but post-op that seems to have changed for

me, I tolerate it much better. Not that I'm out in a t-shirt at minus

30 celcius, mind you!

Take care, good to see you around again.

You are useful here, but more than once in a while, I can assure you

of that.

> Yes, I'm surrounded by cool-winter-loving folks and sometimes

wonder what my problem is, not enjoying the cold season. Must have

to do with the fact that I'm always cold, all year round. Always.

Big Daddy Irish and I are always fighting about temperature control,

in the house, in the car, you name it! I remember both

surgeries ... one in the dead of summer mid-July and one in the dead

of winter end of January and both times freezing in the hospital with

those danged thin hospital gowns. I'm always cold. Desperately

waiting for spring.

thought you were a pro at this stuff I remember way back in the

day how a bunch of us used to mentioned " stubborn and offending

teeth " . Sounds like you have one, now. Best of luck with that.
