Erasing Vestiges: It Don't Come For Free

Funny thing. My much awaited appointment with the oral surgeon was just a consultation! That's right. I waited Since September to get a consult with this dick shit. I mean they were nice and professional and clearly winding down for the holidays. But no. There were to be no teeth removed and but a scant bill of $81 to have the RPN take my blood pressure and the surgeon to look in my mouth for all of 45 seconds.

Between Mom's fight with Manulife/Greenshield to get altered work for her MS and my delving into the wonderful world of privatized dentistry... I just can't see how Americans aren't bombing their own hospitals. That's right, the only time I've experienced wait times for health care in Canada, personally, has been for the only type of medicine that is not publicly funded, dentistry.

So I'll be waiting until MOTHERFUCKING MARCH FUCKING GODDAMN CUNTSHIT 7TH. At which point I will have the supreme pleasure of playing $1166 to have three teeth removed. Which 80% will be refunded upon the completion of my paperwork myself at the convenience of my insurer.

I'm going to give them $1247 and they won't even file the fucking paperwork for me.

Can't say I'm happy about this. On the bright side I get to eat solid foods this Christmas.

Winter Formal

Moving right along. Having been let down by the maxillofacial surgeon and left with my wisdom teeth intact I had to attend to holiday obligations. I'd long left them in favour of kicking it on the couch with a bottle of T3's , some of the recipes (virgin style) my esteemed blog friends had shared and a wicked smile on my face.

But alas I had told jenneferre that I would indeed be attending her annual winter formal party.

Good thing. Because there was a chocolate fountain! And old friends from high school I'd not seen in forevs'. And fancy scotch! And cigars! And marijuana! We hung out in nice clothes, pretended to be fancy for a time and eventually got sloshy. I was able to exist with one foot in 1998 for an evening through the help of the holidays and... other things.
