For now anyway, I can keep my tooth alive.  The endodontist didn’t agree with my dentist’s assessment of my oral health so WHEW!!  A HUGE sigh of relief.  Cute endodontist too.  ha!  I think at that point, after hearing the drilling and drilling in the waiting room, I was ready to kiss anyone who told me I didn’t have to get a R.C.  Plus my insurance doesn’t cover it so it would’ve been $1k and change on my credit card this month.  Double ouch.  Like misa’s comment earlier, he said I should just come in if it hurts again.  It could be tmj or whatevers.  All I can say is, I wear my nightguard religiously these days.  It’s my unplanned New Year’s resolution.   

So after that bit of good news, I went home to watch Kinsey.  Very good movie.  Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, and a host of other great actors.  It’s about a zoologist, in the the 50s who, fed up with all the bunk and misconceptions about sex and “acceptable” sexual behavior, conducts research and changes how sex is perceived.  In the end, I think “acceptable” behavior is whatever you and your partner are comfortable with.  I mean, Kinsey and his wife sort of share an open marriage at one point and I don’t know if that woulda’ been cool with me.  But hey, whatever spices up your life eh?
