When they roll this beautiful machine over to where I am nervously waiting, it sounds like a dairy cow with a bell around her neck is crossing the hallway. I have come to love that sound.

Today I'm grateful for laughing gas. It makes my required quarterly dental visits so much easier to handle. I'm also grateful for Tess, for her extremely gentle touch as she's working incredibly sharp instruments over my poor teeth, and for Dr. Hinkson, for making my mouth well again.
