I went to the dentist this morning for a routine examination and cleaning, but the dentist discovered that one tooth, the rearmost molar on the bottom right of my jaw, was in a bad way, so he gave me local anesthesia, ground away much of the tooth, and put a temporary crown on what was left. I have an appointment to come in June for a permanent crown. Oh, well.

On the bright side, I went to my primary care physician on May 1 for a routine examination which was routine, except for the presence of a medical student who was present to observe the doctor at work (I was offered the choice as to whether to let him be present, and I had no objection). The other day, I received a communication about my blood work: my cholesterol level is 151, my HDL (good cholesterol) is high, I am at low risk for cardiovascular disease over the next decade, and all the chemicals in my blood that they tested for are pretty much at the levels they should be. I may be getting older, but it looks like I will be in excellent health when I die.
