The painful side of wellness

It had to be there somewhere.... it isn't all fun chats with chiropractors and getting my butt kicked at the gym.

Okay, the latter does have some pain involved.

What I don't handle especially well, is the other aspect of my wellness regime which has been getting very little airtime; my teeth. See, I haven't seen a dentist in a long time. Like, sixteen years. That means there is a lot of work to be done to my mouth. It also means all the work is a little more painful, because my gums are inflamed and sensitive. And so my mouth is sore for hours following things like the simple (hah!) cleaning and scaling I had done today. God only knows what it'll feel like after Friday's fillings and extraction.

I have a fitness assessment tonight that I'm trying not to stress over. At least I know my weight has gone down, if nothing else.
