still, grateful for thoroughness

today, i went back to the dentist for the third time in two months to fill a cavity the peace corps dentist found.

my dentist said it was a tiny thing growing into a cavity between two teeth and on a normal basis would simply wait to see if it developed into anything.

in my head, i secretly thanked the peace corps for being so nit picky, because, really, if/when we're somewhere else for 27 months, there won't necessarily BE a dentist to watch and wait.  and really, who wants a toothache when there are bound to other, more pressing, uncontrollable aches coursing through your body?
