I went to the dentist today for a cleaning. I had a wisdom tooth with a cavity. They told me about it a year ago. I had decided that I was going to get it pulled instead of filling it. Well, I never did get it pulled. Since I will be starting chemo and radiation in the next couple weeks, we decided to get it fixed and put the filling in. They also gave me an extra soft toothbrush and some prescription toothpaste. Not that is for cancer patients, but it has extra fluoride and helps with sensitive teeth. Since I very well might have a dry mouth and mouth sores, they felt this toothpaste would be a good idea.
After the dentist I went for a haircut and a beard trim at the Barber Shop on Northern Lights. When she was finished she said it was ‘on the house’, and that people going to chemo and Iraq get free haircuts. I tried to tip her $10, but she would only take $5. It is real nice to meet people like her! :)
