Spit Take

Another trip to PMH today, this time for my annual post-treatment dental checkup. It was a stormy day in Toronto town, but neither snow nor rain could stay me from reaching the hospital. Snow and rain, however, was enough to bring the TTC to its knees. Despite my being tardy by 45 minutes, Dr. Bob took me in and gave me some surprising news: my zapped salivary glands have rallied somewhat. My mouth rated far moister on the dryness test than it has in any previous post-treatment appointments. I can't say that I've noticed, but it's certainly welcome news considering I'll soon be making my living by talking all day. Knowing I'll be able to do so without completely dehydrating is a great reason to get me grinning.
